Philips Airfryer - anyone have?

The HD92xx range is digital. Just different capacity.

HD96xx range is analogue.

Best advice I can give is go for the biggest capacity there is. I have the 9240 XL one that often goes on special at Loot and Takealot and even that might be too small at times for a family of 4. Especially if you want leftovers for lunch the next day.

Thanks, will try to get a special black friday.
 
Got one from Loot, R 2 399 for the extra large. Now just waiting on delivery!
 
Got the Advance XL from Hirsch for R2000.
Samoosas that aren't fatty just aren't the same.
 
Well they were crispy. Just didn't have the fat running down your chin when you bite into it.
Then again they were (sad and unhealthy) vegetarian samoosas so maybe that was the problem.

I haven't made samoosas specifically, but found that for most foods lightly brushing them in olive oil makes at just as good as frying. Not sure how well it would work for frozen foods.
 
I use olive oil spray on most of my meats and veggies before seasoning them.

Helps to crisp it up nicely. Especially pork fat and chicken skins.

I've had my airfryer for a few weeks now. Is it normal for the mesh at the bottom of the basket to rust? I'm really hoping not.

UPDATE

Disappointed with service from Philips. Sent in the airfryer to Loot. They emailed back that yes, there is discolouration evident on bottom of the mesh, but they need to contact their supplier. Supplier's response:

Note that I have soaked the basket repeatedly in hot water and sunlight liquid, even rubbed with a paste of bicarb which did not remove the discolouration. Anyway Loot just emailed me that they'll be refunding me the amount I paid.
I really enjoyed cooking with the Philips. Don't know whether to get another one or look at another brand.

Lol, I think I mostly bought the Philips to make chips!

It's perfect for that. Russians are dead-easy and delicious too. My brother made fried chicken twice: Once it was fantastic the other time it could have been better. It think with enough practice, some basic skills and common sense it really is the ideal kitchen appliance.
