Great value, perfect size

I own a coffee shop and used to purchase my pastries from a bakery. The chef ended up having to quit for health reasons and I couldn't find a good replacement. So I decided to bake my own. Please note: I don't have a full commercial kitchen but my back room is health department approved. I verified with them what I wanted to do and then purchased this oven. My shop is NOT a bakery. I don't need to make dozens and dozens of muffins and rolls per day. But the demand has gone up since I took over. I've learned how to modify my recipes to work with my little toasty baby. I can fit 9 jumbo muffins on the basket tray (I use paper lined silicone individual muffin cups - 5-6 ounce size). They bake beautifully and clean up is easier. I also have two mini muffin silicone trays that I bake on two racks to produce 3 dozen "bites" at a time. The biggest challenge are my jumbo cookies. I tried finding a flat tray to fit but ended up using the crumb tray with silicone sheets to line it. I can bake 5 cookies at a time (3" cookies). I contacted the manufacturer and was able to order another crumb tray so I can switch out and bake more without so long between batches waiting for my tray to cool. To say I put this little oven through it's paces is putting it mildly. Pros: Price, hands down the best price I've seen for the size (I got it on sale and then was given a gift certificate so my cost out of pocket was only $40 - I see it is currently $99 on sale and I want to buy another as a backup). It is lightweight and easy for me to move. I store it on a shelf and move it to my prep-table to bake. I've been using it now for 8 months and I bake 5-6 days per week - at least 3 hours per day. I typically set it on Bake at 400°F to start my muffins and bake them for 5 minutes before turning it down to 320°F for another 30. As soon as that batch is done I will reset it for the higher temp again to work on the next batch. It holds it's temperature really well and quickly reheats. For my cookies I use the Convection setting and preheat to 350°F. Once I put in the tray I lower the temp to 310°F and bake them for 15-16 mins depending on the type of cookie. I cannot rotate my tray since it has the lip but the cookies seem to do well enough. I use an ice cream scoop to keep my sizes consistent but I've learned that I have to flatten them a bit in order to get a nice, evenly baked treat. I make them ahead of time and freeze the dough. Straight from the freezer to the oven - they bake perfectly every time. There are so many settings I haven't used on this oven but I'll still list it as a "Pro". Never know when you'll need them. I already have a bagel toaster so I don't need to use this but I'm tempted to play with it just to see. Cons: this is more of a "things I would change but I cannot complain section". The doors have a small gap and allows heat to escape. Having baked all summer I can tell you it does make the room warmer! I would have also liked an internal light but that's not really that big of a deal since my backroom is so well lit. At first I would have complained that there are no trays and racks available online that will fit the oven but after reaching out to the manufacturer I'll leave that alone. The cost for the new tray was very reasonable and the shipping was quick. The ONLY other thing - even though I use the convection setting I do still rotate some of my pastries. With that gap in the doors the food that is in the front of the unit doesn't get done as quickly. I set a separate timer to rotate things so that I don't lose my full bake time alert. I've been tempted to put a small strip of rubber on the edge and see what happens. In conclusion: I love my little oven. My husband calls it my "Easy Bake Oven" (lightbulb not included). My customers laugh at that but they enjoy what it produces. UPDATE: 1 year and 8 months in and my little oven is going strong. I bake anywhere from 6-8 batches per day, 6 days per week and this little thing is a beast. I love it so much I am going to purchase another just to have on hand in case something happens. I think that's the highest form of praise I can give.

One of the safest, best ones to cook in! Just swap out the aluminium baking tray with a steel one!

I'll be honest - I hesitated a lot before buying this airfyer + over combo from Gourmia. The one I had before was also from Gourmia but with a non-stick coating inside and a pullout basket. I'd been planning to change it and was therefore looking for steel interiored alternatives. This was available at a promotional price but was still high enough. The reviews I read weren't that great as many complained about the door handles becoming hot and what not. So I did my own research (I'm good at it) and found that on another platform -Mamavation, they had given a detailed pros and cons review from materials, built and usage perspective and this product featured in the one of the safest airfryers list. The only thing I had to do was swap out the aluminium baking tray with a steel one from Wildone. I followed instructions and cleaned all the parts as mentioned before my first use. We used it for a variety of snacks - Samosa, baked dumplings, spicy chicken dry, chicken popcorn's, savoury chickpeas, and good old fries! They turned out pretty good. The best part, the door exteriors and the handles were absolutely ok to handle and unlike some reviews, were not dangerously hot. Besides, one would use oven gloves any way, right? The product side fits our needs and current space well. And the biggest thing is now I'm less worried about toxicity etc. Don't just go by the reviews (including mine), do your own research and buy what you need. P.S: Wanted to post a picture, but the Fryer is neatly tucked away in one of the kitchen cabinets. Will update with the photo on the next use for sure! Happy cooking!

Amazing!

It’s been around 7 months give or take since I’ve had this wanted to really put it through its pace and I gotta say I’m amazed. It’s awesome absolutely worth it we scooped it up for the cheap so even better! Stainless steel small yet big enough for a rotisserie chicken some French fries re heating stuff we even baked banana bread. There’s a learning curve but honestly no complaints works just fine it’s slightly loud but I’ll take it it’s the fan it’s thin timer wise it’s adequate I didn’t expect my fries to be ready in 3 minutes I’m ok waiting 6-9 mins if it means they’re healthier! The material is great glass seem thin but it does the job just fine the accessories seems a tad flimsy but it’s not like I’m pushing them to the max they’re just varying nuggets or fries or veggies nothing crazy so I’m ok with it. Great purchase love it takes longer to cook obviously but much healthier I love this thing worth it for my needs and lifestyle.

The best air fryer and oven🫶🏼

I am delighted with this air fryer and oven. It cooks food quickly and evenly, leaving it crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, while using much less oil. It is very practical, easy to use, and easy to clean. Plus, it offers ample space and various functions that make it easy to cook a variety of recipes. Without a doubt, it is an excellent purchase for a healthier and more convenient kitchen.
