A small fan assisted oven for single and two-person household

The Philips HD9230 / 50 Airfryer pays homage to the trend towards more and more small households. He is clearly a product that in a large family has its place. He is not a deep fryer, but actually a mini-fan assisted oven. He is through his little oven quickly to operating temperature and the air distribution is optimal. Therefore Backofenfrittes can succeed particularly well because the excess moisture is blown off quickly and the fries therefore much crisper than in the large oven.

So hot and dry is the recipe of this kitchen helper and one must consider when scouting its operational area. The best results for fry achieve the thin Backofenfrittes a la McD. Preheat 200 degrees, cook for 12 minutes, interrupting at least three times and shake. Although 750g maximum capacity are given, I would not take more than 500g, otherwise prolong the times and the fries are partially already badly dry. The Alpha and Omega is the multiple shaking of the food - but it creates the machine is not to cook the fries evenly. The result is almost perfect.

(Remember shaking!) 12 chicken nuggets in to a further 8 minutes. A midday lunch for two kids - not overly healthy but at least significantly less fat than from the fryer. And almost no smell in the kitchen.

Perhaps the chef experienced reader can already see where this is going: A sophisticated cuisine is not to do with the Airfryer. Small snacks, fast food from the TK are the main applications. He makes quite Appealing. But as soon as the food contains a lot of liquid, he can not keep up with a real deep fryer. Fries from raw potatoes are hinzubekommen eg neither in normal time frame, even in reasonable quality. Parfried frozen goods, however, is an excellent cook, and breaded cutlets, chicken, fish fingers etc. work very well also mini-pizzas, pasties / tacos and egg rolls. With a lot of patience and shaking obtained excellent fried onions from Rohzwiebeln. You can even bake delicious little cakes, but there are just that little cake: if it's worth the effort, you have to decide for yourself!

For me the Airfryer is an additional tool alongside the microwave for quick preparing small meals. Large quantities require too much time. He can crunchy / juicy when the hang after a few attempts and the temperature has been found in the optimal ratio at the time so the food does not dry out the one hand, on the other hand is not still raw. This is with fresh produce, a tricky endeavor, I can the reviewers with 1 star because quite understand.

The acquisition price is therefore in my opinion too high for the shapely mini convection oven due to the limited use area.
