GoWISE 4th Generation Electric Air Fryer Review
When cooking is complete, a beep will sound off and the unit will switch to standby mode. Your food sits in a detachable, non-stick Calphalon coated cooking basket which itself sits in a drawer. The smart design means that when you pull out the draw, you can then detach the basket via a button guard which prevents the draw from dropping off. The parts that you need to clean – the cooking basket and the drawer – are dishwasher safe making the job super easy. A cloth as well as warm water should be able to get the job done most of the time.
There are two drawbacks though – the timer and design of the basket.
It must be noted that the timer is only for 30 minutes. That is enough in many cases but it would have been better for it to go up to the standard hour mark seen in other models.
Furthermore, you don’t get many accessories with this model. While perfect for chips and most solid foods, foods that use marinades or are more liquid will seep through the base. An easy fix is to use either a paper plate or aluminum foil to retain the liquid. If you plan to bake or cook liquids or semi liquid ingredients, it is recommended that you buy the baking pan which comes as a one of the many available accessories.
In our testing, it didn’t cook food as good as the Phillips XL or Black and Decker Air Fryer. This was especially the case when it came to fish. We cooked 3 pieces of salmon fillets and noticed everything was cooked but the sides were not as brown as the top or bottom. Nevertheless, the majority of food came out crispy and was cooked throughout. For the price, it definitely met our expectations.
The pre-sets make the job all too easy and the included 14 recipe booklet is great for beginners. However, the lack of accessories, such as pans or racks makes certain foods tricky to cook. The grated basket, while great for draining oil, can be a bit of a pain when marinating or using liquid ingredients. The good news is that it does come in a 3.7QT or 5.8QT variety so can pick which one suits you.
It’s flashy and sleek and will look great in a modern kitchen. Top it off with a good price and 1-year warranty and the GoWISE Electric Air Fryercomes with our recommendation.
