Philips Airfryer - anyone have?

Question about the Airfryer to you all: does it save on electricity?
Yes, an oven chows more electricity with it's bigger element and takes longer to heat up.
However a convectional oven will also warm up pretty quickly because it has a fan to blow the hot air around
 
I installed a normal kitchen sink spray-hose on one of my hot water taps in the scullery sink and it works wonders to clean the basket and tray! Wash the dishes as per usual and use the hot water to jet out any gunk/oil etc into the drain - just make sure to clean the drain pipes every once in a while.
 
I have seen loads of reviewers on Takealot complaining about the enamel starting to come off on their air fryers after some time, like a year after purchase.
This had me concerned, so I consulted Dr Google

And found a YouTube clip where this annoying Yankee chick was explaining do's and don'ts about air fryers and she mentioned that some of those Spray and Cook tins have some type of ingredient that isn't good for enamel.
She advises using normal avocado oil in a spray bottle instead
That's one sure way to **** it up. I always use a little bit of olive oil to rub the basket before preheating. Otherwise you can use an oil mist-er/spray to use in similar fashion. Obviously the one you add oil to it like olive...

I use one of these.. but not too often. Only for chips and samoosas.

 
Compact ovens are 2000 watts, average airfryer is 1400watts , to compound that an airfryer is 30% faster than an oven.
So, let's try and figure out a factor of saving here. A chicken that uses 10 units of electricity in a normal oven would use XX? units in the airfryer

You're looking at around 50% less power cooking in an airfryer vs standard oven.

Hahahahahaha hahahahahaha
 
My air fryer only uses maximum power (~1200 W) until it's heated to the relevant temps. Then it runs at around ~300W with very occassional short spikes of 1000W+ to keep temps up.
 
Does anyone have a smart plug with power monitoring that can test the power draw of an air fryer? Would be interesting to see the result

And supposedly less saturated fat. So you save on later not having to take meds, possibly or perhaps delaying that.
 
Anyone order 99-x from the States? Apparently this, plus citric acid = KFC.

Col Sanders sold them the recipe after he sold his KFC business.
