Product Information

The oven can also employ its Element iQ tech to direct power where it’s needed to eliminate cold spots in food. In practice, it worked perfectly, leaving us with evenly cooked home chips that had a crispy outside and fluffy inside.

Auto shut-off – This means that the air fryer will turn off when the food is ready. Some air fryers don’t have this function, so you need to listen to the timer beep to know when to turn it off. What makes this product so good is its versatility. As well as Speedi meals, it can also act as a slow cooker, and it can sear food with the lid open. That’s handy for starting ingredients off before slow cooking, or for finishing meals: I cooked rice, and then added some pre-cooked beef strips, onions and peppers, sautéing the food to get it piping hot. For starters, this can be useful, but once we were used to the air fryer, we found it easier to skip the app and use the controls on the front. The Gourmetmaxx Air Fryer boasts a generous cooking capacity, allowing you to prepare large batches of your favorite foods. Whether you're cooking for yourself or feeding a crowd, this air fryer has got you covered. It has six impressive cooking modes and is large enough to cater for up to eight people, so you can either dish up a family-sized feast to be devoured immediately or make dinner with enough left for your lunch box the next day.Yes, the gourmetmaxx air fryer does have a preheat function. Using a preheat function in air fryers provides several benefits, such as ensuring even cooking and reducing cooking time. However, if your air fryer doesn't have this feature, you can still achieve great results by adjusting cooking times and temperatures accordingly. Is it possible to cook multiple dishes at once in the Gourmetmaxx Air Fryer? We’d advise running one or two cycles on empty, just as you would wash your new clothing before wearing it. Residual dust or particles will clear out (and any first-use smells will dispel), so you won’t impart odd flavors into your food.

General air fryer foods (chips, hash browns, burgers and the like) were cooked exceptionally well, although we did have to add a bit of cooking time beyond the recommend to some food types. Using the grill, we found that its heat was slightly uneven, but moving food around manually when turning it was enough to overcome this problem. An air fryer is a countertop kitchen appliance that makes it possible to achieve similar results to a pan or fryer without submerging food in oil. Instead, air fryers only require a small about of oil to circulate hot air around the drawer and crisp up food in a short amount of time. It takes a little more time to familiarize yourself with the options and usage, and it struggled with the coconut shrimp test. When considering cost effectiveness, this air fryer stands out among its competitors. With its affordable price tag, you can enjoy the benefits of air frying without breaking the bank. Not only does it save you money upfront, but it also helps you save on cooking oils as it requires little to no oil for frying. This makes it a budget-friendly option for those looking to eat healthier without sacrificing taste.It’s quite a beast, but if you use an air fryer all of the time, cook large portions (or for lots of people) and want quality results each time, then there’s nothing better than this model. Stirring paddle – Some air fryers have a stirring paddle so that you don’t have to shake or stir your food during the cooking process to ensure an even fry, although the jury’s out on whether stirring paddles improve the finish or not. You can sometimes remove the stirring paddle if you’d rather not use it. Air fryers have surged in popularity in recent years as more and more people have opted for this healthier method to create delicious fried food.
