The main advantage for me is that you can save with the Airfryer significantly time.
He needs little or sometimes no warm-up time and the dishes are in significantly faster time ready when my conventional oven.
The ideal example you may get with french illustrated.
When I made TK-fries in the regular oven, then take these to a minimum 30-40 minutes until they are done. Depending on the thickness. The point at which that become greasy fries and baggy then crisp and dry is reached quickly. The French then of course a disaster.
In contrast, the French Airfryer be inside even and bit tender and from the outside they are beautiful crisp. Ideal and exactly as I like them. And the process usually not even required 20 minutes.
With homemade chips I spray just a little olive oil on french slices and into the basket. Super easy and the result is visually and taste a dream!
Since the basket is of course full of holes and that with greasy foods (meat etc.) leads to the formation of smoke when it drips into the bottom of the pan, it is recommended that there some water to fill and you've got no problem with that. Otherwise, you can cut baking paper without problems or use aluminum foil. Works great.
The display is digital and the 'Touchen'. The settings for temperature and time can be set using arrows. Very simple and intuitive.
There is also an on / off button and a lock button, where you can deposit his own attitude. For example, for dishes that are often prepared.
After the warm-up time, a tone sounds, so you know that the Airfryer is ready. Even if the set time has elapsed, you will hear a melody. So you always hear when the unit is ready.
If you times forgets to turn off the part which is not so bad, because it has an automatic shut-off.
The block weighs on the seven kilos. But you do not wear it so constantly around with you, that's why that's okay.
For us it has its place in the kitchen and makes visually what her. Of course you will always wondered what that be because, when company comes. But that is then quickly explained and most are enthusiastic and want to see it in action.
The cleaning is very simple, you can both - the basket and the bowl - remove and clean if necessary in the dishwasher. But under normal circumstances it is not really dirty, so that the cleaning by hand in the sink super sufficient.
What is always criticized in conventional fryers of smelly grease smell.
So here I can say that when Airfryer has almost no odor. Sure, if you or something makes fish and then opens the cage, you can not avoid that odors occur, but while using the device, I can hardly or no odor perceive. Very pleasant.
The fan can be heard, of course, that here you can not say that the unit operates quietly. In comparison, my convection oven is quieter.
Gibts there any other improvements?
Yes, there is. For example, should be Accessories attend a device with MSRP 299,99 definitely. Say baking pan or a separator bar, so for example fries and meat can be cooked in the same cage / operation.
Moreover, I find the plastic packaging from the case a little slack. The part where the basket is reingeschoben / rausgeholt is easily bendable. So you have to stay only once hang stupid and already the whole drawer is moved. There I also see room for improvement.
But otherwise I am more than satisfied with the prodigy and therefore it was allowed to move in with us home.
All in all I am delighted with the Philips Airfryer.
It is time-saving, uncomplicated and fast.
Negative is the price and the lack of accessories.
