Philips Airfryer - anyone have?

[Speedster]

For that 1 to 2cm extra space? 'the bigger', that is the xxl, a revision of the xl. You know corporate buzzword bingo.

I think he has the non-XL one. My XL is labelled as 6.2l / 1.2kg, that quite a bit bigger than the 4.8l one

Good the essential XL earlier in the week.

Help a newby out. What's your favourite item to cook in it?

Chicken. I think air fryers were specifically made for chicken, it just happens to cook other things too.

Yoh I see the hisense air fryer oven is gone.
That would have solved your size issue.

This onw will as well but it's fugly

Paid R1499 for the 4.8l in Oct last year.. Wish I bought a bigger one.. But it sufficient for two ppl

I have the XL/6.2l and sometimes it’s not even sufficient as a single person, how the heck do you make the 4.1L work for two people?

I see somebody attempted steak. It’s difficult because it’s so easy to overcook. What I do is use specifically ribeye, rub in some softened butter, a bit of garlic, salt and ground black pepper.

Both under cooking and over cooking will ruin it so I won’t give a specific time as it varies by thickness, but I’ll report back once I have it nailed. Great with mushroom or pepper sauce.

I personally think steak is the worst thing to cook in an airfryer. Borderline blasphemy actually.

It’s not so bad lol. I also prefer stovetop but it smokes too much and I can’t figure out how to turn this damn extractor on…

For a 3cm thick sirloin steak.

After pre heating the oven for 3 minutes.
I use 200 degrees for 7 minutes to get medium rare.
I put this on a sheet of foil to save on the cleaning.

For a thick tri-tip rump steak.
15 minutes covered in foil at 180 degrees, open foil and another 10 minutes.

Reverse searing is great if you know what you are doing.

Sounds good. Need to try that. I normally do russians and chips. Frozen onion rings (from woolies) come out very tasty too.

Just experiment. The beauty of an Airfryer is you can pause, stop, change the temps or even the time on the fly.

I will try this.

Lol the worst steak i ever had was from an airfryer, I prefer stove top and smoking up my whole place, adds to the ambiance.
