Philips Airfryer - anyone have?

We used to buy cooking oil every month, I can't remember the last time we bought oil. Also there is no oily residue.

Regarding convection ovens. The air fryer is quicker to use, it heats up in seconds. It is designed to get an efficient airflow, a conventional fan oven does not have a very aerodynamic flow.

The electrical consumption difference between a conventional oven and an air fryer is quite substantial.

I reckon on the electrical savings and the savings in oil that our air fryer will have paid for itself inside 2 years.

Plus it is easier to clean than an oven and very easy to use.

Those are sensible reasons for buying the thing. I have absolutely no issues with that at all.

But people shouldn't be fooled into believing that its any healthier for you, or that it is an oil-free frying system. It's not...

Yes, but you need a suitable container. Small aluminium trays work, but I use a small metal pie dish lightly "greased" with butter.

Problem is you cook the crap out of the yolk and you're still adding fats and taking up (I'm assuming here) more power. Nothing wrong with a pan and a little oil or butter, and you have the bonus of control...

But you have to watch over the pan. With the airfryer, once you know what you are doing, you just put the whole meal in, set the timer and do something else till the bell rings.

My wife has just said the biggest problem is that the basket is always in the dishwasher. She wants another basket!

Sure, I'm referring specifically to the egg though.

Personally, I'm a more scientific cooker, so nothing ever goes into the pot or oven at the same time or temperature unless it's soup I'm making.

Personal preference though, and the convenience doesn't sell me. Will for many others, but then again, I find it does the same job as a decent convection oven...
 
damn you guys! convinced me to get myself one as well... :)

Will get it from DionWired, I see they are R1500 there
 
What is the difference between this and that glass cooker thing that verimark sells. Also a fan with a small heater.
 
I do oven bake wedges and chips in the airfryer and they come out better than nandos wedges. I don't add any oil either as oven bake potatoes are usually pre oiled.
 
I had to resurrect this thread. Last year we got a Logick convection oven as a gift. It is similar to the air fryer but its bigger and actually works a damn side better than the Phillips. We cook practically everything in it. I even did bacon in it on the weekend and it come out awesome. They on special at Game for R379 which is a steal.
 
Wow, this is a good price! Do you perhaps have a pic of what it looks like, or is it like a microwave oven?

Also, can you make like Chips in this thing?

Its the one for R379. Yeah you can make chips, you can actually make anything. I have made pizza, a beef roll with roast potatoes, chicken and beef pregos, bacon, etc etc. It seriously is amazing.
