Philips Airfryer - anyone have?

Chicken raw weight?

Edit: and temp setting

what temperature?

Mmm.. I didn't check weight but it filled the whole basket.

had it at 170 for 40 min (turning about every 15min) and blasted at 200 for the final 5 minutes to properly crisp up the skin.

Is turning really neccassary ? I thought the whole air convection thing negates that?

Not really but I find with things as big as last night and especially with stuff like chips piled on top of each other the airflow is limited to a degree and turning or tossing it now and then gets it evenly crispy all over.

My airfryer died last night
After Load shedding stopped, i turned it on and it ran for about 5minutes and then just died.
It was the checkers platinum brand and only about 18months old but I guess you get what you pay for.
Think I’m going to get the philips Xl or xxl next.

Haddock in the airfryer (160c for 7 minutes) and a green salad with balsamic and olive oil for dinner

According to the master airfryer (the BF, it's his toy lol), it was 20 minutes on 180, then 10 at 200. He scored the skin, and rubbed with a tonne of mustard powder.

I had a swan blender, was a POS. So Id rather spend extra money and get a Philips airfryer especially after my experience with cheaper types of airfryers.
The reviews for the Milex look good: https://www.takealot.com/milex-power-airfryer-xxxl/PLID53563370/reviews

Can someone confirm, is the benefit of the Air Fryer less oil? Or just cheaper electricity per fry?

I've seen these devices going for a while now and wanted to get one but not sure what my use case would be.

It is a gadget.
It is a nice gadget.
It is an awesome gadget.
It make really nice and crispy food.
It uses little electricity, cooks fast, with or without oil.

So similar to deep frying but without the heart-attack?

Dependant on what oil and how much you use, but yes you could say its similar to deep frying without the heart-attack.
I find it a lot more convenient than using the oven from a speed perspective. So I believe that the electricity usage should be lower.

Did you manage to see when the loot special is on until?

Just youtube. Lots of videos. Also read through this thread. Lots of pictures. If you still not sure, stick to an oven.

So my mom is staying with me for a little visit, needless to say, she saw my airfryer at work and took the Loot offer for her own one

Lol. Checkers also have the XL on special at the moment for R2899 with a free blender too. Got one and used it last night. Suitably impressed
