PowerXL GLA-1001 10 QT Air Fryer Oven Review

PowerXL GLA-1001 is an air fryer with 10 quart cooking capacity and can cook in temperatures ranging from 120°F to 400°F.

Cooking

Just like most air fryers PowerXL GLA-1001 cooks well. Meat is tender and juicy, french fries come out crispy and vegetables are tasty as well. Food is not greasy so you know it’s healthy.

PowerXL GLA-1001 warms up very fast. There’s only heating element on top though so you might have to flip around some foods halfway through cooking process but at least in most cases that isn’t necessary.

To make cooking easier PowerXL GLA-1001 has 10 cooking presets. They don’t always work great so if first results with them aren’t satisfying feel free to experiment with temperatures and/or cooking time.

Presets

The 10 presets PowerXL GLA-1001 has are:

Preset	Default Temperature	Default Cooking time
Reheat	240° F / 115° C	12 minutes
French Fries	400° F / 200° C	18 minutes

Clean up
