*I like that I can "fry" something on a whim! An oil fryer takes so much more time to clean and prepare **MyBest.Kitchen** a chore which usually kept me from frying all together. Also, the lack of needing oil to fry means that my family and I are eating healthier... while still enjoying the crispiness of fried foods.*
I recently had an unfortunate accident with my landlords cooker that was giving off high levels of carbon monoxide, my 2daughters and my grandaughter had been very ill, had ambulances out fire bridge and gas emergency service, and i was taken into hospital with very high level of carbon monoxide, thankfully my daughters and grandaughter were fine with only small levels, i only spent a day in hospital and im now doing fine, my cooker on the other hand was condemned and now we wait for landlady to get a new one, untill then we can't cook food, but thankfully I have very good neighbours and they brought round their gourmia air fryer, and they gave me the recipe book but it didn't explain how to use the buttons, then found your amazing video that explains everything for me, thankyou it has been so so helpful.

Thank you so much for that. Unfortunately I tried that and I still can’t get it to change. It just flashes and then switches to the time. Do you have the same model? I wonder if it doesn’t work on this particular model...
The only downside is do not follow any of the cooking directions that come with this. It recommends to cook damn near everything at 400 degrees and it burns everything to a crisp! I have found that you can set it at 340 degrees at 15 minutes and chicken and pork chops come out perfect!
Hi there! My daughter and her husband gifted me with their used Gourmia Air Fryer. I appreciate your instructional video. You have made it so clear on how I can get this up and running! Thank you so very much. 😃
This was very helpful. Thank you so much! Excellent video, not any minutes spent with you just talking about completely irrelevant things. Right to the point and very informative. Thank you so much!
Thanks for your video, I bought mine 2 days ago in Costco and the spring rolls, fries and mini pizzas came out so delicious in a very short time. Absolutely fantastic. I really recommend this Gourmia Air Fryer.
Press and hold the temperature + & - while on “air fry” setting until it beeps and it will switch from Fahrenheit to Celsius and vice versa. Tap temp first, then press temperature button and program button at the same time really quick it should change it right away. Good luck
@@JuJuIdiot Double sided micro fiber cloths. Fabulously Frugal Cathy recommends them in her videos. The key is the let the drawer cool down. Apparently, high heat stresses the teflon coating so you want it to cool completely before cleaning it with the cloths. About every 7 days, I do clean it in the dishwasher and it gets into every nook and cranny.
I really liked your explanations. It definitely is trial and error for timing the cooking. Important to stress the sequence of pressing the buttons for the correct timing and temperature, including the preheat and turn buttons.

I just replaced my Power XL air fryer that died on me after 5yrs with this same Gourmia model for $49.99. The Power XL cost me over $100.00 5yrs ago and it wasn’t nearly as good as the Gourmia! The Gourmia is much quieter, cooks more thoroughly and in half the time of the Powe XL! Also, the Gourmia’s parts are much easier to remove and wash in the sink or dish washer. The Power XL’s internal bottom is attached to the basket making it a much more difficult and dirty job to clean it. Don’t waste your money on overpriced advertised on TV air fryers when you can buy the Gourmia for just under 60 bucks with tax and delivery that works much better!
That's awesome, i'm glad you like it! But in all fairness, airfryers were fairly new and expensive 5 years ago, tech has come a long way and evolves so fast, we still have our Philips air fryer sitting in the cupboard and that was loud and a pain to clean too! Thanks for sharing your experience!
I got mine from Costco too and for the same price about 3mnths ago and just attempting to use it..she gave me a quick lesson I learned so much..I had one and I cooked in it everyday but it just stopped one day after about 2yrs..but it was the one with the big glass globe..it was a good one it could cook anything...
Just used mine for the first time. I cooked Thai style chicken wings two tiers worth. I found that if you like lots of flavour like me and pre marinate then the pre set wings setting is not that good as the top tier burnt. I recommend manual setting of about 170 to 180c for 30 mins. Inside was so juicy 😋😋
To change to Fahrenheit...hold down the temp/time button for a few seconds . That was the first thing I needed to figure out. So far I'm happy with it.
According to Google if you hold the temperature/timer button for about 3 seconds it'll swap between C/F. Mine is currently cooking something but I'll check back and let you know if it works!
Just bought an hour ago at Kohls. I was so excited to use. After plugging it in, what I thought was a "tilted" programming panel was actually a broken panel. It was sticking out from the bottom. (not flush at all) Don't know if it was dropped during shipment to Kohls, but defective right out of the box so it is being returned. Not sure if I will repurchase
I got the same air fryer! I am so happy for your review. The recipe book actually is not written in English I hope you could share the English version. Thank you
@Natskie Love. Oh, interesting. usually its french and english... but here is the website link to the PDF www.gourmia.com/pdf/GAF698%20-%20User%20Manual.pdf hope it helps.
I just subscribed. I am putting my kitchen appliance list together. Super helpful. I'm also a content creator. Your videos are really good in many ways. Don't stop!!
Does anyone make a multi-tier rack w/ a handle on top? Many recipes recommend turning 1/2 way through, but w/ a hot pan and 2 tiers of food (using accessory rack) it is almost impossible to get the rack out so that you can access and turn the food underneath without either cooking your digits or getting a mitt super greasy.
When you turn food half way, do you press END first or just pull it out? Also I noticed the rack has four rubber parts on it, should I remove them? It’s kind of hard to put it in the basket with the rubber parts on and I am not sure if they can stand high temperature. Thanks!
Those are silicone and are there to help the tray supposedly stay in when emptying food, and I never had to bend anything to set the tray in. You may have to adjust a little though.
@dorothea1111 Hopefully you figured it out by now, you can just open the basket, the air fryer will pause automatically and resume when you insert the basket. The silicone tabs stay on. Tilt the tray and then it's easier to insert.
Some people said they can't change to Fahrenheit, my steps were: 1) Plug-in and press the middle light button 2) Press and hold the middle Temp/Time button for 5 seconds (I even tried it with only pressing the bottom half of "Time' to see if it made a difference, it didn't and still worked) 3) Beeps then shows 200C or 400F.
I've got the same model as you. I've just started using it but I have a question.........when The recipe book says to use "two table spoons of oil" , where do I put the oil?
what dishwashing soap brand will clean the crisper tray inside the basket the best, and fastest? when i don't use foil to put my chicken in, the chicken fats and grease tend to stick everywhere. what's the best dishwashing liquid that will cut thru that stuck on stuff?
I've only ever used Dawn Dish soap and washed by hand and it comes clean every time. I never use any foil or liners, they defeat the purpose of using the air fryer. I have often been lazy and left it to clean the next day. In that case I would let it soak for an hour or so in hot water and dawn soap, and it comes right off. I cook chicken often and have had no issues. Another option is to soak it in hot water and a dishwasher tablet. I also have a separate video on cleaning the air fryer.
I have this air fryer. It cooks foot really well. My only negative about the air fryers is that the trays are a faff. The bottom one is hard to get in and the metal tray always falls in and when it comes to raking the food out, you have to use a knife or something to take the metal tray out and again with the black bottom tray. Silly really, but good otherwise!
Tilt the crisper tray sideways to insert and remove. Use tongs to lift the rack, does require a little skill depending on what you have placed on it. hope that help.
Thanks, but I can also cook them in 8 mins on the stove and they taste much better. I never understood why people would cook longer just because it's a 'trend' Each to their own.
I wonder IF I will like the fried foods without oil. Like the fries, do t hey still have taste? Can you spray them with some oil and does that help? Same with other foods. I like Not using a lot of oil, but none seems like it would ruin some foods. You did a great job, I will come back !!
@deborah lariscy. yes, I usually spray my fries with some oil, otherwise they dry out very fast! I always add a little oil to all my foods (1-2 tablespoons can make a big difference)
I just purchased today and never used. So watched your video gave me great idea of using it. Thanks fir the review 👍 very useful my friend. Just want to ask why did you sprinkle backing soda over the chicken before placing in the air fryer?
Sure, I have various chicken recipes and more that can be found on my Facebook page. Feel free to follow. Here is the link to the Chicken thigh recipe: facebook.com/MeemReviews/posts/pfbid0Dxkkd7BfEczhf3pvTJtJfYjyxjv1JupDziQ58GeoR6fXrzMHLmXjETqkvu88K5gDl
Yes, for sure. Be sure to wrap the foil tight so it doesn't fly around inside and potentially hit the heating element. Also, I'm not sure, but I have a feeling wrapping fish in tin foil may create water from the fish.... i think...
Not intentionally. I rotated it and it fit in fine. I didn't have any problems getting it in so I didn't realize I needed to address it. After a handful of comments, it was suggested to angle it first then lower it down inot the basket.
I don’t think so, cleaning the basket is very easy. Just hot water and dish soap. Soak overnight if u really need to but everything always comes off easily.
No, no, they're there to prevent the tray from scratching the sides of the basket because you'll slide it in and out all the time for cleaning etc. Keep them on. 😊

Excellent Review.
thank you!
Thank you for your info. Can you use can you wrap fish in tin foil so it doesn't fall through the rack when cooking fish and chips together?
Yes, for sure. Be sure to wrap the foil tight so it doesn't fly around inside and potentially hit the heating element. Also, I'm not sure, but I have a feeling wrapping fish in tin foil may create water from the fish.... i think...
Can I use parchment paper in the basket instead of oil mist
I wouldn't recommend it, will block heat circulation.
How do I get the manual, there was none
It should have come in the box, otherwise you can get all the manuals on the Gourmia website. You will need to search the model you have.
0:27 I notice you skip the part where the crisper tray doesn't fit.
Not intentionally. I rotated it and it fit in fine. I didn't have any problems getting it in so I didn't realize I needed to address it. After a handful of comments, it was suggested to angle it first then lower it down inot the basket.
Is it worthwhile to get silicone liners for the basket, like those sold on Amazon? Or is it easy enough to wash the basket?
I don’t think so, cleaning the basket is very easy. Just hot water and dish soap. Soak overnight if u really need to but everything always comes off easily.
Fantastic thanks
You're welcome!
Good review. 👍
Thank you, glad you found it useful!
Do you pull the little rubber feet off the crisper tray before use?
No, no, they're there to prevent the tray from scratching the sides of the basket because you'll slide it in and out all the time for cleaning etc. Keep them on. 😊
What is the temperature and time for frozen hamburgers
Try 400F for about 10-14 mins. It’ll depend on the thickness and size.
Do I always use the Crisper? when do I not need to use this?
