George Foreman GHFD6800B Twist N Crisp Air Fryer with Rotisserie, 3L Capacity

I was very excited to try the George Foreman Twist \’N Crisp Air Fryer. I had visions of making healthy versions of my favorite fried foods such as French Fries, Onion Rings, Chips, and Won Tons. Unfortunately, after an attempt to make tortilla chips, I was left less enthused. I used one of the recipes that came with the included recipe book and while the amount of oil used was very little and the flavor was very good, my chips were not crispy but rather soft and chewy. There were some crispy edges, but nowhere near the \”chip\” crispiness I was expecting. I followed the prep and cooking directions exactly but what I ended up with seemed more like stale baked tortilla wedges. Perhaps a longer cook time would have increased the crispiness and if I try this recipe again I will definitely let it cook longer than instructed.
When initially trying to figure out what to make, I looked through the included materials (instruction manual and recipe book) for inspiration and was disappointed that many of the recipes required attachments that did not come with this particular model (such as the baking sheet or sandwich tray). I was also very surprised at how long the cook times were for many of the items. Many of the recipes called for longer times for the Air Fryer than I would normally use in the oven or toaster oven. I was really hoping for a kitchen tool that would help speed up cook times and simplify the cooking process.
With the limited drum and rotisserie attachments, I didn\’t find a lot of other recipes I wanted to make. Eventually I may try cooking frozen French Fries or Potato Chips, but the amount of time it would take to make these in the Air Fryer seems to be not worth it especially if it isn\’t going to be fully crispy. I am now also hesitant to cook anything raw (such as a rotisserie chicken) in the Air Fryer since the instructed cook time for the tortilla chips seemed so off – I would hate to have undercooked chicken due to cook time inaccuracy or to keep having to adjust the time until its done.
This definitely has the potential to be a great kitchen device – but personally it didn\’t live up to the hype for me. It is much too large for me to leave on the counter in my small kitchen and I can\’t see myself using it on a regular basis – especially without a baking rack. There are limited foods that can be made in the drum/on the rotisserie and I would prefer not to have to play around with cook times to try and get the crispiness I expected. I can see this being a great addition to some kitchens, but definitely not all. If you are interested in Air Fryers – this one definitely has some great features but I just can\’t see myself using it that often. I would definitely suggest doing your research and seeing how much use you\’ll get out of the Air Fryer (and how many calories you\’ll save) before purchasing one.
For people who are in a similar situation to myself – busy people with smaller kitchens and a small number of people they are cooking for – I feel this device is too large/bulky and inefficient to be beneficial. It doesn\’t save on cook time and it takes up valuable counter space. It\’s also hard to gauge when exactly the food is done. However, for people with larger families and larger kitchens who tend to make a lot of the items the Air Fryer can handle with ease, this may be a helpful device that can help them to cut back on the calories. Especially if they are able to get other attachments that allows the machine to be more versatile.

I have never had an airfryer before so I don’t know if this is a good thing, but this one would knock the other one out of the park. I thought the airfryer would take up a lot of counter space, but it is easy to use and clean. I would have liked it to have more attachments so I could try them all. The rotisserie attachment was easy to use and it came with it. You will see in the photos that I have taken. Anyone who is trying to cut back and loose weight, and anyone who likes to fry food in a pot with grease, I would recommend them to use this. The chicken I made was so delicious that I cooked it all the way through. It took 45 minutes. It’s almost like the crockpot if you press 4 buttons. I really enjoyed using this product and I am happy that I have it so I can cook in an alternative way and provide my family with a healthier way of eating.
