for anyone wondering about the little feet on the crisper tray, you're supposed to leave them on. I found out that they are actually silicone, not rubber, so it's safe to use while cooking.
I left mine off lol. Works good broth ways I think
I came here for this comment thank you! 🙌
THANK YOU!!!!I was concerned it was plastic and didn't want to use it until I was for sure.
Thank you! I was stressing about the little feet 😅
Literally was looking/waiting for this in the video, but you’re a god send! Thanks for that!
I forgot to mention when cooking grasy stuff like bacon or wings, add just a bit of water about 1-2 oz then add the crisper tray.
The watr will keep air fryer from smoking when the grease drips down to bottom of basket and remember to add hot water as soon as you remove greasy food .
One more tip to make cleaning easier after adding the hot water, add enough to cover crisper, put back in air fryer, turn on 400f about 5 mins, that extra hot water will lift any stuck on food
Nice tips!
Thank you
Thank you! I would have thought adding water to a fryer would not end uuppp ...Bad...
Pro tip!
Thanks for thinking outside the box!!
I bought the 7 quarts yesterday to replace a rack-style air fryer I have had for a while. I immediately prepared coconut shrimp and sweet potato fries and honestly did not miss the deep fryer at all. The clean-up was a breeze. I'd typically be on the grill on a Friday night, but we have rain all day, so tonight will be wings and onion rings in the air fryer.
Tip for wings: toss them in a bowl lightly with some canola oil. Then season them however and carry on. I use this trick in my convection oven and they come out awesome. This method works well with my old air fryer.
I just got the same Air Fryer from Costco on Friday. I searched on You Tube by name and came upon this video. It was really helpful and thank you for posting this. I will start using is with confidence from now.
Happy I could help. How do you like the air fryer so far?
Using oil is not a bad thing if it's the right kind of oil. Avoid industrial seed oils like sprays, canola, vegetable, sunflower, etc... Use 100% pure olive oil, coconut, avocado, or just good ole' butter and you're good. Remember, fat doesn't make us fat. Carbs & sugar make us fat. Great video!
Hi Dave. First time watching you after I had just bought the same air fryer as you have. I even watched the entire video before I unboxed mine. Your video was great and you demonstrated how it all works. I really appreciate it. I'll unpack mine and try it out tomorrow. Thanks again. 👍😋🍟🍗
Thank you for this video. I was getting ready to take my air fryer back to Costco for a refund. I thought to check You Tube for an instructional video on how to use the air fryer and I found your video first. It was very helpful.
Thank for this! We don't eat fried foods, but learning that this is basically, a small scale convection oven piqued our interest. In 2005, I bought a duel-fuel range, propane burners on top, regular/convection oven below. Have loved the convection! Years later, it's a bit much for two senior citizens, to use that much electricity. We steered away from an "air fryer" because we thought it was only for Fried Foods. Costco has it for $40, on sale, thru 5/15/2023 , so we are going to purchase, not open, make a decision.
Very sorry you didn't like the Instant Pot! We bought the Costco Duo Gourmet in September 2021, $80. And it is now a very valued appliance...yogurt, oatmeal, grains, veggies, pulled pork, soups, pasta sauces, this list goes on and on. I guess it depends on your type of cooking.
Our good experience with the Instant Pot has led us to take a chance on an Air Fryer. Thanks for your helpful video!
I bought this for 60$ CANADIAN at Walmart. Seems like a steal. The thing is built to last it seems, very nice construction and nothing looks cheap on it. No shitty plastic. mine is probably a newer model, there's no concave on the screen and looks way bigger, seems like mine has a couple more presets too. I used it last night and everything came out so well done, way better than using the oven or deepfryer. I'm a single male living in a single apartment and this is a life changer for me! I can't afford to buy my mother one but I think I can save up 5$ a month until next boxing day to get her one.
You’re wonderful! Just got the same model at Costco for $40 a few days ago. It’s still in the box. Found your video, great introduction primer! Keep up the good work!
Awesome. Let me know how you like it.
I bought the $40 one at Costco. I’m waiting for the silicone liner from Amazon . It keeps the fryer clean.
I just got one a few days ago
@@takeontravel9076 you might find it harder to clean than the basket itself, especially f making fries and other non greasy foods but a tip working for me is, after cooking greasy or sticky food like chicken winds or chesee, is
1. Add a few tablespoons of water to the bottom basket 1/4 cup at most, Be Sure it's not reaching the liner where food sits. The water prevents the drippings from food to burn then begin smoking
2. After removing cooked food, add a drop of dish detergent and enough water to COVER the liner in basket Place back in AIRFRYER turn on 400°F
5 to 10 mins.
While your enjoying your food the airfryer is lifting off the stuck on stuff, now you just need to wipe off out the gdease
Hi i just the same air fryer about 2 weeks ago, the basket was going like yours but after few times it gets easier.
Give the crisper tray a little push down when you inset it, then it won't flop out.
So far I'm really liking mine.
Great vid, thanks for the demo
Just got my new Gourmia air fryer at Costco and I am watching your review right now. Just worried that it might get the smell the first time you use it. But while watching your video that there was no smell. Thank u I am excited to use it.
From across the pond, just purchased from Costco £37.
Thanks for the video 👍
You’re welcome.
Very helpful review.....thanks so much! I just got one of these air fryers from Costco and mine was also on sale for $39.99 when I got it a couple months ago. I used it for the first time after watching several RUclips video's but yours was by far the most helpful and detailed. I figured for this price it would be a good first choice because I wouldn't be upset if I didn't like it as I would if I got an expensive one. My first attempt worked out well. I want to try the chicken wings like you made and an anxious to experiment with it. I live in AZ so heating up the oven in summer is not something I want to do. Consequently, there are so many things I don't have for half the year. This is a great option!
Dave first time seeing one of your videos reference the airfryer. I bought the same exact brand and model from Costco. And like you it's still in the box. Has been sitting in the Box for at least a month. I think you did a really good job on the video may decide to keep mine. Will be looking forward to another video thanks so much
Thanks for this review. I just got home from Costco with it, on sale $39.99,
will try for dinner tonight.
I hope you rescued that spare chicken wing you left in the crisper basket :) Thanks for the video! Bought this at Costco when it was on sale as you mentioned 👍
They seem to have this air fryer on sale about twice a year, I love it. Thanks for watching.
LOL, I was wondering about that wing!!!!
Poor little wing got left behind :-(
Bought the same fryer and even after reading the instructions, couldn't figure it out. Please show how to use it without one of the pre programmed settings. This was a great video.
I’m having the same issue
I usually just press the Air Fry button and set me time and temp there? Does that work?
Same. I just got talked into an air fryer by the same company but not that model because I was under the impression that the food would be cooked faster too. My first attempt at chicken drumsticks was a fail, partly because the book that came with mine does not show drumsticks so I used thighs. They did not come out cooked and I had to try an start time up again but I need to get more familiar with the display as I could not just get it to add a bit of time. That is of course user error on my part.
Thanks to your video I learned how to out my air fryer back in the box, in prep for moving. I agree that I had thought it would be faster than the oven.
Hoping to use my air fryer for fish & fries. I've always worried about trying new appliances that something will go wrong😮. Maybe this winter?
I just bought mine at Costco for $39 on sale. Haven't unboxed it yet but really looking forward to putting it through its paces. It's just my Wife and myself, so this unit should work out just fine. Thanks for your great content. Just hit Like and Subscribed. God Bless.
I got one for Christmas I only tried sweet potato fries. I am so glad to watch your video it gave me some confidence to use mine more I am going to experiment more and be a li'l adventurist.Thank you!
I also have one of these gourmia air fryer cookers that I got at Costco also sitting in the Box because I don't want to leave it sit on my counter. But I will mail try it like you have since I thought working much easier to understand thank you for the good simple clear demonstration of this product
Is there a way to not preheat food? It always automatically does it
I just bought this very same air-fryer from the Costco outside of Paris, France for 60€. Was intimidated about having to read yet another Product Manual. Am so very grateful for your video. Seeing is believing. Definitely looking forward to trying it out now, thanks to you!
Très bien. I’m glad you found my video. Let me know how much you like the air fryer.
Hi Dave just ‘found’ you and loved your video!! Also loved your comment when you touched the side of the basket🙈😄! I’ll be waiting for your next notifications from now on as I’ve just invested in an Instant Pot Duo (with air fryer lid) AND a Gourmia from Costco (£54.00 here in UK) but a lot less expensive than even Amazon. You’re a natural presenter so we’ll worth following.. thank you. 🇬🇧☘️🥰🥰🥰🥰
Molly. Thank you for your kind words. I get comment ranging from nice to insulting, but this one was very thoughtful and I do truly appreciate it. I hope you have a great day.
Thank you so much, I got this air fryer for Christmas. You helped me alot.
I just got mine today. Thanks Dave, I found your review very sincere. Please keep posting various recipes.
Thanks, will do!
I just bought this air fryer and I’m glad I found your review , informative and entertaining .
I agree.
I have just bought one online, still not dispatched yet...wow, can't wait to try mine... Thanks for your great review.
Great video! Very thorough. Costco has this on sale for 2023 Pre-Black Friday and i was wondering if i should get one. Thanks to your review ive made up my mind to purchase one. This was a great review!
Thanks Dave for the demo seen them in coso wasnt sure to get one but since i seen ur demo defenly going to buy one jt looks just the right size for meals for one
Thank you for showing me how to use this Air fryer. I ordered this one yesterday, and I received it today
You have a gorgeous kitchen very clean tidy place loving the brown units 🎉
Thank you. I appreciate that. I do love my kitchen.
Can you do another vidio in the air fryer could you do the big roast 🤔 😋 🤣
I might just give that a try. I usually only do smaller stuff.
I've been thinking about buying this when it comes on sale at Costco now they have it on sale I'm going to buy it thank you for showing this today👍😎
Thanks for the review Dave! Will be picking one up at my next costco visit.
Thank you so much Dave. I am happy I bought mine today.
I air fried my Aldi.’s seasoned fries in my Gourmia 8 qt fair fryer. They were crispy/crunchy on the outside and soft inside. Delicious.
Excellent. Glad you like it.
Struggling to get the tray back in...believeable review!
I promise it gets easier as it gets broken in, and as you learn the perfect angle.
If you rub a little baking powder on the wings a few hours before it crisps the skin.
I’ve seen them do that on America’s test kitchen. I’ve also seen some guys use cornstarch with some nice results as well.
15 minutes ore-heat is a lot. I bought a Cosori 5,5 airfryer a month ago, it preheat in 5 minutes, I make a lot of different things in mine, love it and it saves electricity.
I’m glad you like the air fryer you bought. You should make a video about it.
I got mine for $50 CAD at Walmart on Black Friday (normally they are $100 CAD here)
Thank you so much for this video. Like you I don’t purchase new items as soon as they come out.
I just came back from Kohl’s with the Gourmia 8 qt air fryer on sale plus coupons. I read reviews for a few brands. I bought a different one as a gift in March.
I will try mine later. I did not get the metal rack. It is ok.
So Dave, now that it's been a year---Are you still using your air fryer? Any recipes?
I am. I’m planning on making a few recipe videos this summer
I'm not a creator on YT because all the Trolls out there. I usually don't troll..... but you left my wing in the basket when you were warping this video up....
Um, That's my wing!!!!
You just got a new sub!!!
Love it, keeeeep them coming!!
You will be at 50K in a week!!!
Thank you!!!
Thanks for the vote of confidence, but I won’t be at 21k within a week😂😂😂.
Thank you so much for the video. I just bought mine, but smaller. But I’m going to go at it with more confidence thanks to your video. I’m subscribing.
Glad I could help!
There was these little rubber plugs on the crisper tray. Are you supposed to leave those on?
from what I've read online, you're supposed to keep them on. I found out that they are actually silicone, not rubber so it's safe to use while cooking.
Thanks! I've never been interested in buying one as I've found most of these gadgets don't get used much and just take up space. However I found a brand new unused one exactly like yours this morning outside of my apartment where someone threw it out. I thought I'd grab it and give it a try.
Did it work?
@@daveshouseofbbq No :(
Hey Dave!
Watching your video on the Gormia Air Fryer. My cousin has one that I seen and I’m doing my research on one because I’m highly interested in getting one and came across your review and like the way you do your reviews from a regular everyday guy point of view. Because of your review I plan to purchase one!
Glad I could help, and I am definitely a regular everyday guy.
I have been going back and forth on whether or not to get an air fryer. I saw this one at Costco yesterday, and now after seeing your review I will go back and purchase it. Thanks for the video showing how things turn out!
I saw it at Costco yesterday and it was 39.99. For that price it’s a steal. I really like the way it works
Change temperature buttons only change the time. What am I doing wrong?
Hi, I just saw your video, thank you for recommending this air fryer.
Could you please tell me which brand of Sriracha seasoning that you used for your chicken wings ?
Thank you
Just bought this air fryer at Costco for 39.99 on sale but my question is, how do I adjust the temperature? Thx!
Thank you for your demo, great job and the switching of certian foods also good advice 😀
Very helpful. Brand new to air frying!
Hi so pleased to watch this video, as I just got mine today and was annoyed that the basket was hard to push in...the whole fryer pushes back!!!
Does it get easier with time?
Thanks again for that informative video.
Yes, it gets easier with time, and it gets easier once you figure out the perfect angle. Thanks for watching.
Thank you so so much for your reply. I was in two minds whether or not to use it or return it.
Thanks from the UK!
Great review! Very thorough!Thank you!
great video. I have the same one and it cooks great but unfortunately the smell of burned plastic is still there after 2 weeks of using. Did you smell/ taste it at all?
I'm glad you like the air fryer, but I'm not sure that particular model is actually all that good. I have the two drawer Gourmia, also from Costco, and it's a lot slower and a lot less convenient than a different air fryer I have made by Cosori. The Gourmia doesn't have programmable settings,s o every time you turn it on it defaults to 20 minutes and 400 degrees, and you have to manually change it every single time, whereas on my Cosori you can program each setting to whatever you want, so if you discover that you favorite brand of french fries needs a certain time and temp, you can program the fries button and have the exact setting ready at the press of a single button. It's especially handy for bacon, which air fryers do a great job on. I also like how the cosori has different settings for types of food, like chicken, shrimp, fries, bacon, etc, whereas the Gourmia's buttons are for the various functions like Broil, Bake, AirFry, etc. and there are no buttons for types of food. The Gourmia seems like it's capable of things that the Cosori doesn't do, like dehydration, but as an actual air fryer/oven the Cosori is faster and much more convenient, and the basket is better (detachable, two piece basket). I might return the Gourmia honestly, only had it for a few days.
Hi, what model of Cosori you have exactly? I'm in the process of getting a air fryer myself. Thank you.
Can you adjust temperature on this model or is it just pre-set programmes???
How long is the warranty? I have had mine 1 year & the basket has a hole in it. the grease has been leaking in the bottom of the unit.
OK Dave….
Thank You for the review of the air fryer we both have. Just out of curiosity… What was the name of your death metal band? Maybe as I’m air frying my fries, your band’s music is what will be my ‘using my air fryer for the first time’ music.
thanks dave
Just got this airfryer at costco the only issue i have is the bottom tray is hard to get in
It has rubber bumps on all sides to keep it from falling out when you tip it over to get food out. Best way to put tray in is tilt it at a downward angle as you press it into the bottom
I just got one at Costco
So im glad you like it 👍🏻👍🏻
Let me know how you like it.
Thank you for an honest thorough review. Thank you for your video!
thanks, for the video, i am going to buy one tomoorow from walmart, $49.99
Hi there Dave. I just got one of these today from Costco and thought I would learn a little about it and found your channel.. I enjoyed your video.. I am anxious to try chips and chicken in it... Very well done and thanks for sharing... Take care and be safe my friend...
Had a difficult time getting the crisper tray back into the basket due to the silicone "feet". Anyone else have that problem...and how did you overcome that?
Hi, mine just arrived today and having the same issue with the crisper tray. I’ve emailed as not sure if it is a fault??
The tray is thin metal. Gently bend the feet in/out till you get the right "tightness".
@@annking6911I had the same problem until I flipped the tray with them turned upwards, rather than downward.
did you take off the silicon thjng?
I just cannot get a crispy skin on my chicken thighs, what am I doing wrong. I dry the chicken ,spray with oil, what else can I do? 2:57
I got a 8 qt one like that so it helps it to watch you. Thank you!
You’re welcome. Thanks for watching
Thank you for this helpful video ( from the uk :) )
Have you removed those 4 rubbers from Black Basket or it needs to be fixed. Thanks in advance
I have kept them on
I'm thinking you probably could have removed the top rack and put the bottom row back in for like 5 mins!
I’m having trouble changing temp/time if I don’t preheat
Your description of Bachman sauce was hilarious!!
Thanks. I love that stuff.
Cont. to my first comment. On the switching, I was referring to your suggestion when using the metal layer extension. 🙃
I bought mine from Costco last week. One thing I forgot was to look at the most important info… Teflon coating. It’s very toxic for our health. I’m going to return it back & will save up to get the stainless steel air fryer oven.
I returned mine
Some videos show lightly spraying your food with oil.
Thanks for your review very informative
Maybe grease from top rack dripping onto bottom rack might not allow bottom rack to render fat properly and get crisp?
Could be. I have since cooked a batch and rotated the wings and they come out much more even.
Thanks for the video! Time to get cookin!
Can I used it the phil. 220 volts.
I’m not sure what this means.
How would you cook enough chips in that fryer for 4 people?
Use both levels
I saw one the other day at my local Meijer store
I spray my chicken with Peanut oil...fantastic, much better than any other oils...
I cannot figure out or see in the manual how to drop or separate the basket
The basket stays in the drawer. Is that what you’re talking about?
Your video just made me get one 😅 thanks
Nice. How do you like it?
Where can i get a recipe book for this air fryer?
There are many recipe books for air fryers I. General, but I don’t think there is a book specifically for this one.
Not exclusive to Costco as I bought the 5qt version at TARGET!
It’s a worth it to have a air fryer ?
If you have a large family, like 5 or more people, I’d say no. For smaller groups I think it is, mostly because it’s more efficient than turning on your full size oven to reheat things. And it truly does a better job of making things crisp
Great review thank you.
So the crisper tray comes with these rubber things on them. I took them off. Are we supposed to?
I left mine on. It hasn’t seemed to cause any problems.
No, the manual says to leave them on, it keeps the tray in place. You can take them off for cleaning.
I've read online that they are silicone, not rubber. so it's safe to use some cooking!
I just bought one 1 today at Costco canada for $ 79.99
How would you make baked potatoes and what degrees,and how long….
I have no idea. I’ve never tried to make baked potatoes in the air fryer.
Anne Coble there is a little recipe book that comes with the air fryer but also lots of RUclips videos here I found for baked potatoes 🥔 and all kind of veggies 🥦 🥕 nice 👍🏻
We cook our bakers, rub olive oil and sea salt on 2, cook 380 22 mins, turn over another 20 mins, come out like restaurant quality
It tells you in the manual @ Dave and Anne
I got the same a few weeks ago. Working fine, but I don't know why I am not able to alter the temperature. In the manual, it says to press the temp/time display and then you should be able to change it but I am only able to do that changes in the time settings but not in temperature. Have you tried to change the temperature in it?
I change the temperature all the time. Don’t you just press the temp time button a second time to get to the temperature settings?
@@daveshouseofbbq just checked again after reading your reply. Nope, definitely not working. I guess I have to talk to the company's customer care. Thank you for the letting me know :)
When pressing the Temp/ time button, you will see which side is blinking and that’s how you know if it’s the temperature or the time. Then press the minus or plus buttons
Dave!! Bro!! Do they have that nasty coating on the inside? Appreciate the vid.
There is definitely a non stick coating in there. I’ve seen a couple from other manufacturers that appear to be stainless steel.
Nobody mentioned the strong chemical smell it omits.
I ran mine at least 5 times, hoping it would burn off. It didn't.
Had to return it.😢
I never noticed a chemical smell. Slight plastic smell for the first couple cooks, but it dissipated quickly
The directions reccomend running a burn off the first time at 450 degrees for 30 minutes..I did and it seems OK now..❤
@@daveshouseofbbq No way, been there, done that.
@@barbaraalden6013 Been there, done that.
Useless garbage. 😬
For the mouth feel sprits some olive oil
