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.
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. 😃
@@udg- Yes me too we hit the sale, been waiting for it to hit the sale. I missed it last time because they sold out same day within two hours of the sake starting and the store opening. I got 2 🤣🤣
I just got my Gourmia Air Fryer from PriceSmart, the 7.6 l version, and I'm impressed. It can be set to Celsius or Fahrenheit (by holding the Time/Temp button before starting a preset).
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...
@@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.
Thank you for your detailed demonstration! We bought this unit yesterday and found the timer settings confusing. Seemed to be setting seconds, which made no sense with a 4 digit placement screen. You showed us how it works. Their instruction booklet could be better. But, first time we used it for chicken drumsticks it was perfect!
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
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!
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!!
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...
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.
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.
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?
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
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!
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!
Since i sliced my chicken breast into two, they became thin, so it only took 5 mins (flipping partway). But if it's a normal full size thick piece, 8-10 mins will be better (flip partway). hope that helps.😊
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.
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...
Just found your video I after I cooked my drumsticks. I just pushed the wings button and lets it cook. I was supposed to pre heat before? My drum sticks looked fully cooked
Preheat is optional, I prefer to preheat for meat and chicken because I find it locks in the juices, some don’t notice or care. The wings setting works too, if you’re drumsticks were big you may need to add more time. Hope that helps.
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.
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 😋😋
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?
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
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.
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. 😊
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.
no, they are there to protect your basket from getting scratched when you take it in and out. Leave them on. If you're struggling to put the tray in, angle it sideways then lay it down.
was there a different outcome in the finish of your food between using the "AirFry" setting versus the "Fries" setting ? So I've done the carrot sticks bit a couple times using "AirFry" and each time they came out dry and sometimes tough. I do coat them with olive oil - but still they come out dry. Any tips would help.
Air fry will dry out veggies fast, the Fries setting is also using air fry mode. For air frying veggies, cook on lower temp, 375-380 for 15-18 mins at most, depends on how thick the carrot stick are. Also, for veggies, select roast, that will cook at a slightly lower temp and reduce the air flow, preventing drying out. Same with bake. Hope that helps
I’m having the same problem with my new air fryer! I haven’t been able to use it because I can’t get the crisper in the basket. After washing it before it’s first use, I struggled and finally gave up
Bagged from frozen. No need to defrost, just add them straight away to the air fryer, spray some oil on them to ensure they come out crispy. Hope that helps!
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.
If they are room temperature and not too big, cook at 400F for about 18-20 minutes. If straight from the fridge cook at 390F for about 22-25 mins. Hope that helps.

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.
The rubber ends on the crisper tray doesn't have to be removed? will it not burn?
They are silicone. Don’t remove them otherwise the tray will scratch the basket as you put it in and out.
@@MeemReviews ohh thanks haha I forgot silicone exists
Do you remove the plastic caps on the crisper?
no, they are there to protect your basket from getting scratched when you take it in and out. Leave them on. If you're struggling to put the tray in, angle it sideways then lay it down.
Can I use parchment paper in the basket instead of oil mist
I wouldn't recommend it, will block heat circulation.
This was very helpful. Thank you.
You're welcome
was there a different outcome in the finish of your food between using the "AirFry" setting versus the "Fries" setting ? So I've done the carrot sticks bit a couple times using "AirFry" and each time they came out dry and sometimes tough. I do coat them with olive oil - but still they come out dry. Any tips would help.
Air fry will dry out veggies fast, the Fries setting is also using air fry mode.
For air frying veggies, cook on lower temp, 375-380 for 15-18 mins at most, depends on how thick the carrot stick are.
Also, for veggies, select roast, that will cook at a slightly lower temp and reduce the air flow, preventing drying out. Same with bake.
Hope that helps
Thank you for a well done how to use air fryer video....
Your welcome! Glad it was helpful!
Question about the crisper tray has 4 rubber tabs. Do I remove them and throw them away? The crisper tray doesn't goes down if I leave them on.
You should leave them on, they are silicone. Twist it slightly. Or wash it and the basket with hot water first. See if that helps.
I’m having the same problem with my new air fryer! I haven’t been able to use it because I can’t get the crisper in the basket. After washing it before it’s first use, I struggled and finally gave up
I had the same issue with getting the crisper in. Then I tried putting it in at an angle at first and then it seated well.
Put it in at an angle.😅
Do I always use the Crisper? when do I not need to use this?
Just got one. Can't wait to try it out with some salmon.
Awesome!
Were those French fries sliced from raw potatoes or were they the bagged frozen kind? If using the bagged frozen kind, should they be defrosted first?
Bagged from frozen. No need to defrost, just add them straight away to the air fryer, spray some oil on them to ensure they come out crispy. Hope that helps!
@@MeemReviews Yes! Thank you.
Thank you for showing me how to use this. I have one but I lost the manual.
no worries, glad I could help!
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.
Thank you, it doesn't work on this particular model, but the newer one.
It has rubber stopper s do I keep them on?? *x
Yes, they are silicone, they will prevent scratching the basket every time you put in and takeout the crisper tray.
Nice demo
thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
Do you need to put it for 20 minutes? I put my nuggets in for about 5 minutes and it was nice and crisp
ohh. that quick? my nuggets usually take about 10 mins...
We bought one from Japan and brought here in the Philippines. Can we use it to 220v? Thanks
I'm not sure, you would need to check the voltage requirement in Philippines or get a converter.
Forgive me but I can’t seem to figure out the PREHEAT on this model. Your instructions are so clear but I’m slow
For bone in thighs what temperature and for how long
If they are room temperature and not too big, cook at 400F for about 18-20 minutes. If straight from the fridge cook at 390F for about 22-25 mins. Hope that helps.
Is the rack suppose to come with it? I got one for Christmas today & only had the black piece
This model I got from Costco came with the rack. A few people said theirs didn’t come with it, not sure they got it from.
@@MeemReviews thank you. Not sure were mine was brought from probably Walmart but after I stopped freaking out & read the box better lol I did realize mine dosen't come with one which is crazy..thanks again
Pls what should I press that will enable the other icons to show and stay? It will just pop up and disappear immediately
Can parchment paper be used in the basket… I’m dehydrating papaya for my pet bunny and don’t want to add oil?
you can...
What seasoning did you use for the drumsticks? did you spray them with Pam regular?
I just make my own marinade. salt, chilli, garlic/onion. I spray with Canola oil only.
When the temperature is displayed
Press and hold temp button and it will change to celcius
And Visa versa
