GoWISE 12.7Q XXL AIR FRYER - FIRST TEST - MOROCCAN PORK

I debated about what to try to cook in this first and decided my Moroccan Pork dinner would make a good candidate.  I have cooked these chops in the NuWave and really liked them so I had a good basis of comparison to work from. 

I put the NuWave away and cleaned and prepped the GoWISE.  I put foil on the drip tray the same as I would under the basket in the NuWave and turned it on for it's initial 5min recommended warm up.  Yes - I read the manual.  While that was doing it's thing, I started my pork.


Seasoned thawed pork cutlets with Ras El Hanout spice.
Let sit for 10min.
Spray lightly with cooking spray.
Add SF breadcrumbs - spray lightly again.
Let rest 5min while preheating fryer.

While that was sitting - I looked over the recipe book.
Directions from Recipe Book for Pork Chops:
400° for 8min - flip - cook another 12min - pretty straight forward
I generally don't flip my food and I know the NuWave took about 20min to cook 2 chops and they are similar wattages so it should yield similar results but always check your internal temp if you aren't sure.

Breaded, Ras El Hanout seasoned, center cut pork chops
Round 1 - 8min at 400 as advised
What I did:
400° for 8min - internal temp was 137°


Looking good - already getting crispy

[Did not flip] - put on for another 10min = 18min total. 


Final internal temp was 188° - minimum temp is 145° so this was plenty and probably means I could have done another 8min instead of 10 - but the recipe called for 12min so I split the difference.


FINAL RESULTS - BRILLIANT!!
Beautifully cooked, still moist inside with a crisp outside - very nice!  SO nice I almost forgot to take a picture before devouring it!  

Very impressed with this maiden voyage - looking forward to tomorrow!
