Philips Airfryer - anyone have?

Nadir said:
We have an airfryer for the past 5 years+. My father actually got the original air fryer from Hirsch on the launch day since it was on promo. We have been using it 3 or 4 times a week. On Friday we got the XL from Hirsch for R1999

When i moved out last year, the first thing i got was an airfryer since I cant cook to save my live yet and I use it almost daily instead of the oven. I even make toast in the airfryer and my toaster has been gathering dust for the past few years

How has it impacted on your electricity bill

What temp and time do you use for toast? I find that the bread gets too crisp.

I use either 180 or 200, but more 180. I dont leave it in until it gets crisp. I like it my bread lightly toasted, so I remove it just after it starts browning
 
This thing is fantastic. 7 min and done.

Yeah definitely not a novelty in this household. Gets used almost every night for kids and at least 3 nights a week for ourselves.

I'll never even try to make chicken any other way. Crispy skin with perfectly cooked and moist to the bone.

I've even started making our fritatta dishes in it.

@APoc184 please give me some advice on chicken. How do you prepare the chicken, how hot and how long?

It depends on the size of the drumsticks and thighs but I generally do 20min at 180 for the smallish sizes from Checkers. Bigger ones I've had to to 25min or so. And if the skin is not crispy enough to my liking after said time I would blast it at 200 for a few more minutes, checking it every minute or so.

Did you soak or smoke the eisbein?

Smoked in this case. And for absolute best results I would boil it for 90min early in the morning and then leave it in the fridge for the rest of the day to properly dehydrate the skin for ultimate crispiness. Then 30-45 min at 160 with spices and salt to taste. Proper crackling then.

But I've had good results with it straight into the airfryer as well. Usually 60min at 180 and a further 30min at 160. But then the meat is not fall of the bone like the pre-cooked method.

We usually do steak for about 12min max at 200 for medium rare. Also depends on the thickness. Thin cut means shorter time.

Will take a few times for you to get the hang of it.

For something like pork Chops where you want the fat rendered properly lower and slower is better.
 
Anyone use the Russell Hobbs - Purifry Health Fryer?
Got it in the ebucks store for 8000 ebucks.
