Philips Airfryer - anyone have?

@Craig_

To give you an idea, a pack of 4xdrumsticks + 4xthighs cooks within 20 minutes in my airfryer. Also switch off once done. Nice for an inverter as well.

Supper takes me not even 30 minutes to prepare from start to dishing up.

My oven which has a fan + elements takes at least 10/15 minutes to reach temperature. And then the chicken at least 45 minutes?

My other small air fryer toaster oven (Bennit Read or something cheap), takes about 45+ minutes as well. Got it to bake small breads and muffins when we didn’t have an oven.

Oven and steamer is still the best for veggies. (I have a little steamer for veggies as well which runs alongside the airfryer).

17:30 - Chicken spiced and into airfryer (18 minutes for Philips) , veggies cut and into steamer (10-15 minutes)
17:50 - plates out and preparing salad. Dishing up chicken and Veggies. Airfryer basket in dishwasher. Steam baskets in dishwasher.
18:00 We eat.

Supper is done. Cutlery and crockery in dishwasher. Dishwasher on.

Relax.

I do take 5 minutes to clean the airfryer element with hot water, a brush with handle and soap every 2nd or 3rd use. If it was very fatty food more regularly

Also to add, because the airfryer is on a timer and you get used to how long your prefer meals take, makes managing with loadshedding SO MUCH EASIER.

If loadshedding is at 6PM. I know if I put a whole chicken in at 5 it will be done. So when EskomSePush send me the 55 minute reminder I quickly pop the food in without stress.
Anyways I take effort to write out why it is a good choice for the price compared to the alternatives. I also take effort to share my experience and settings. The rest of you just name drop and nothing more.
 
This guy Uses a toaster oven to make his meals, Take his advice on aifryers with a pinch of salt.
I'd cry if my toaster oven broke.

But I also have two airfryers so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
 
If you want something on a budget I can highly recommend these for the price.

Otherwise I highly recommend the Philips XL at R2000 - R2800 with regular sales.

The XXL is amazing but too expensive unless you can get it at R3800 or less when on sale.

Can also double as a makeshift fishtank.
 
Just came by to see the rude, hostile comments from some members. Those wanting honest feedback on Air Fryer/AirFryers can look elsewhere. MyBroadband Forums have really gone to s#!t, not by all but taken down by a few unruly members with no human respect.

It's because some people can't read thread titles. We don't post pictures of our Datsun Go in a Rolls Royce thread.

Air fryers are overrated.
The guy in the link sums it up pretty well.


Remind me why you are posting here if you are clearly not interested ? Problem is that this thread is invested by trolls.

Also, point me to your post in this Philips thread where you have put some effort into a review.

I know. I did the same. :X3:

Maybe a couple of other tips for everyone.
Keeping your Philips XL Clean and some other Tips:

• To clean the Grid and Basket.

Just take out the basket holder and the basket/grid, leave the basket in the basket holder, pour some sunlight liquid in and fill it with very hot water and let it stand. You can then just use the back of a soggy sponge to clean the grid. Very easy!

• To clean your Philips airfryer and fan:

Yes! Your airfryer also needs to be cleaned. Take a torch and look at the element! Sies man!

Get a spray bottle, fill it with some sunlight and water. Put a dry cloth at the bottom to catch the dirt and water. Now use the spray and spray the element and top properly! Let it stand and repeat maybe with clean water (no soap). Dry everywhere you can reach and switch it on for 5 minutes (with the basket in!)

You can also turn your airfryer upside down and use a scrub to clean the element side. Switch it on a again afterwords for 5 minutes (with the basket in).

• The drawer for the Airfryer start to become a bit squeaky and tight over time.

Get a can of Q-20
View attachment 610266

Remove the basket and grid. Close the drawer. You will notice part of the rail/slider sticking out. Put a little bit of Q-20 in the slots. Magic!!!

• Cheesy and sloppy stuff on the grid (like those fillets with the sauce in):

Put some baking paper on the grid!!

• Instead of brushing food with oil, just put the chips or veggies in the basket, use spray and cook and spray it all!!!

Shake it and spray it, shake it and spray it!

Now your turn. Otherwise I will assume you are just here to troll as well.

Oh no why should I bother when one's views are told to be "utter rubbish"

Troll then, says the guy who posts in an a Philips thread just to say it is overrated. Now that I have linked you to some proper input, write a comparison to your experience and the air fryer you are using. I bet you are just here to just piss on the floor....

Wish there was a way to tag you lot so it can be filtered to a the bottom and those who put effort into reviews and comparisons can be bumped to the top.

Wow and using the word Overrated is objectionable, look above, point is you can't accept the opinion of someone else that goes against yours. I was not rude, hostile and objectionable, you are.

The title of the thread is "philips airfryer anyone have", I do, tried it and the video matches my experience, only I dont think its dumb but it is overrated. I did nothing to warrant the hostility and rudeness that comes from you or Epah.

You are trolling and have added nothing of value, nor dit you bother to read my experience posted various times. Same goes for many others who drown out the good input and effort put into their experience. Again, if you have no interest investing in a Philips not consider someone with first hand experience, why are you posting here?

To troll. I am still waiting for your input on your experience and the product you are using and how it compares to my experience.

Pay for Twitter Blue to your buddy elon, you guys speak and probably act very similarly. This is MyBroadband.
 
This won't interest the trolls and will add value to the thread. I am experimenting with doing it a bit differently. Added veggies as first layer and chicken pieces on top. Lots of butter and pepper. Wrapped in foil. Interested to see how it turns out.

Still nothing of value to add. Can't even stay on topic.

What product are you using and how does it compare to the experience I posted various times drowned out and the Philips Airfryer, the product of this topic.

You talk absolute hogwash. I am just taking you up on your hypocrisy. Sure, I can be a chop some times, especially if I didn't have my coffee, but you have no intention to bring spomething of value. You blatantly ignore the in depth opinions with actual results I post, because it goes against your agenda, whatever it is.
