4、FAQ
Q1｜Is it difficult to clean?
➡️ The Gaabor air fryer uses a food-grade non-stick coated inner pot, which is easy to clean with just a rinse and wipe – a lazy person's dream!
Q2｜Does the food taste good?
➡️ The Gaabor air fryer uses 360° hot air circulation technology for even heating, resulting in a crispy exterior and tender interior that is more fragrant, less greasy, and healthier than deep-frying.
Q3｜Is the capacity enough? Is it enough for a family of three?
➡️ 4.5L large capacity, can fit a whole chicken, enough for the whole family.
Q4｜Will there be a plastic smell or safety hazards?
➡️ The Gaabor air fryer basket and inner pot both have a food-grade non-stick coating, and the outer shell is made of high-temperature resistant PP plastic. They also feature automatic overheat shut-off and anti-scalding handles, making them much safer than open-air frying.
Q5｜What to do if air fryer breaks down?
➡️ Gaabor offers a 1-year warranty policy, and free replacement is provided for non-human-caused damage.
Q6｜Is the delivery time fast?
➡️ Users who place an order on the Gaabor Life website will receive delivery within 1 working day. Cities near Sao Paulo can enjoy the new Gaabor air fryer in 1 to 3 days.
5、Key Details to Avoid Pitfalls
- ❌ Zucchini has a very high water content (approximately 95%), and will become soggy and soft if left to sit for too long after coating. It's recommended to bake immediately after coating and avoid prolonged storage.
-
❌ Zucchini has a high water content, so even an air fryer can't achieve
the same crispiness as potato fries. The finished product has a crispy exterior and a soft interior; please
accept this before trying.
- ❌ Leave space between the zucchini strips, otherwise they will become soft and not crisp. Baking in batches will yield better results.
