The PowerXL Air Fryer Grill is a versatile countertop appliance designed to provide a wide range of cooking functions, including air frying, grilling, baking, toasting, rotisserie, broiling, and reheating. It aims to deliver delicious family meals with convenience and efficiency.
The PowerXL Air Fryer Grill combines multiple cooking methods into one unit, making it a comprehensive kitchen solution. Its primary function, air frying, utilizes high-speed convection cooking to achieve crispy results with little to no oil, similar to deep frying. This is particularly effective for breaded items. The appliance also features a dedicated grill function, allowing users to achieve outdoor grilling results indoors, complete with char-grilled food on a non-stick Grill Plate. The added benefit of superheated air in the Air Fry/Grill mode ensures quick and even cooking.
For baking, the unit offers convection cooking suitable for pastries, cakes, pies, and cookies. It can also handle homemade or frozen pizzas, crisping the dough and melting cheese from the top. The toast/bagel function is designed to brown and crisp bread on both sides, accommodating sliced loaves, English muffins, bagels, rolls, and frozen waffles. The broil function is ideal for melting cheese on burgers or cooked items, searing small cuts of meat, and cooking open-faced sandwiches. Additionally, a reheat function allows for warming prepared meals without searing.
A unique feature is the rotisserie function, which cooks food with a convection-style rotation. This is perfect for whole chickens or roasts, ensuring they are crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and evenly cooked. The appliance uses various heating elements and an air frying fan, depending on the selected function, to optimize cooking performance.
The PowerXL Air Fryer Grill is designed for ease of use with a straightforward control panel. It includes a Temperature/Darkness Control Knob for setting the desired cooking temperature (200°F–450°F) or toast darkness. A Function Knob allows users to select from various cooking modes like Broil, Toast/Bagel, Rotisserie, Air Fry, Bake/Pizza/Reheat, and Grill/Air Fry-Grill. The Time Control Knob sets the cooking duration, ranging from 1 to 120 minutes. For cooking times less than 20 minutes, users are instructed to turn the knob past 20 minutes first, then back to the desired time to activate the timer correctly. A Power Light indicates when a cooking mode and timer are set, turning off once the timer expires.
The appliance comes with several accessories to support its diverse functions. The Drip Tray must always be placed at the bottom of the unit, below the heating elements, to catch any drippings. The Pizza Rack is used for toasting, baking, grilling, and roasting, while the Crisper Tray is specifically for oil-free fried foods and broiling. The Baking Pan is suitable for baking and reheating various foods, and deeper oven-safe pans can also be used on a rack. The Grill Plate is used for grilling steaks, burgers, and vegetables. For rotisserie cooking, the Rotisserie Fork is used for whole chickens and roasts, designed to be inserted through the food and secured with screws.
Tray positions are adjustable, allowing the Crisper Tray, Pizza Rack, and Grill Plate to be inserted into any of the three slots between the heating elements, depending on the recipe's requirements. The glass door allows users to monitor the cooking process without opening the unit. When cooking foods with higher moisture content, using the Baking Pan below the Crisper Tray or Pizza Rack is recommended to catch dripping juices. For optimal results, it is suggested to turn or flip food halfway through the cooking process for even cooking.
Maintaining the PowerXL Air Fryer Grill is crucial for its longevity and performance. After each use, the appliance should be unplugged and allowed to cool thoroughly before cleaning. The exterior can be wiped with a warm, moist cloth and mild detergent. The glass door should be gently scrubbed on both sides with warm, soapy water and a damp cloth; however, the unit should never be soaked or submerged in water.
The interior of the unit can be cleaned with hot water, a mild detergent, and a nonabrasive sponge. Care should be taken not to scrub the heating coils, as they are fragile. After cleaning, the interior should be rinsed thoroughly with a clean, damp cloth, ensuring no standing water remains. For stubborn food residue, a nonabrasive cleaning brush can be used.
Accessories such as the Drip Tray, Pizza Rack, Crisper Tray, Baking Pan, Grill Plate, and Rotisserie Fork should be hand-washed with warm, soapy water. Caked-on food on accessories can be loosened by soaking them in warm, soapy water. All components must be clean and dry before storing the appliance in a clean, dry place. Regular cleaning of the Drip Tray is essential, especially when cooking juicy foods, and it should be emptied if it becomes more than half full during cooking. The manual also advises against using metal scouring pads, as pieces can break off and create an electric shock hazard.
