tinyfish Posted September 6, 2015 Report Posted September 6, 2015 A friend told me about his new Philips Airfryer and how good it was so I picked one up. I have only used it once but it makes great tasting french fries. The fries taste like they were deep fried. I must say this is one expensive french fry cooker, I guess my health is worth it. Here is a pic of the fries. Quote
MacKenzie Posted September 6, 2015 Report Posted September 6, 2015 tinyfish, could you over night Purolator a few to me;) Quote
PRippley Posted September 7, 2015 Report Posted September 7, 2015 Ohh, if I could only eat one food for the rest of my life.....🟠Quote
ckreef Posted September 7, 2015 Report Posted September 7, 2015 Never used an air fryer before. Fries look good. Quote
tony b Posted September 7, 2015 Report Posted September 7, 2015 Since I already have 2 deep fryers, I'm actually holding out and not jumping on this one! If you do it right, fries don't pick up that much oil/fat. I've even done them in duck fat - heaven! Quote
tinyfish Posted September 7, 2015 Author Report Posted September 7, 2015 For me I was only eating roasted, mashed or baked potatoes at home so the airfryer is a nice little appliance. Quote

bosco Posted September 7, 2015 Report Posted September 7, 2015 interesting. I always see the Tfal at costco and can't understand how it works. Perhaps it is time to grab one of these. Any benefits of the phillips over the tfal??? Quote

Any benefits of the phillips over the tfal??? Both have good rating. The tfal might be bigger and it has an arm thats spins and agitates the food for better air flow. Quote
Syzygies Posted September 9, 2015 Report Posted September 9, 2015 I have a convection oven. The reviews make me wonder about rack setups that optimize for this "air frying" effect in a convection oven: Suspend one's rack well above the drip tray, and dead center in the convection breeze? Most of us haven't adapted our cooking habits to convection; this "portable convection oven" reveals what is possible. Quote
tinyfish Posted September 9, 2015 Author Report Posted September 9, 2015 Air frying is like a giant hair dryer cooking the food. Quote
