Included are:
- A large non-stick bowl
- A barbecue Stage
- Tongs
- A Frittierkäfig
- A barbecue skewer with chicken fork
- A pan
Operation of Vitair via an intuitive menu on the cover. While this is in English, but thanks to the imaging still easy to translate.
8 Gar programs are preset:
- Quick Program
- Chicken on the spit
- Fries in Frittierkäfig
- Baking
- Pizza
- Steak in not included steak cage
- Skewer
- Turning the rotary function
In each of these programs, the cooking time and temperature can be individually adapted.
Here, the temperature between 50 and 230 degrees can be varied, the time between 1 and 60 minutes. You can also set a timer set to the Garstartpunkt. When opening the lid to add more ingredients or stir into the bowl, the cooking process is interrupted, then continued when closing.
Meanwhile, I have tested a few dishes:
- TK-fries in Frittierkäfig without fat, the best fries I've ever eaten (French program)
- TK croquettes in Frittierkäfig without fat, crispy brown on the outside, inside nice and soft (French program, time is shortened slightly)
- Fresh chicken breast, turkey breast, pork tenderloin, salmon fillet marinated in soy sauce before and / or olive oil for 15-30 minutes, cut into cubes, so tender and juicy the meat was never (skewer program)
- Fresh breaded cutlet in nachgekauften Steak cage, well browned and tender (Pommesprogamm)
- Fresh whole chicken on the spit, but not quite as nice browned and tender meat (chicken program)
- Thawed frozen scampi in Frittierkäfig, crispy and delicious (200 degrees, 8 minutes)
- Fresh vegetables in the non-stick bowl or with the meat in the grill cage, crunchy and tasty
- Aufbackbrötchen, crisp and brown on the grill stage (baking program, 12 minutes)
The Vitair hot air fryer is so versatile and a great addition to the kitchen.
What is missing is a recipe booklet. From the enclosed brochure only cooking times and temperatures for different dishes can be found. I browsed for new preparation ideas simply times in the recipe book of Actifry and tried various dishes varied. The Actifry works differently than the Vitair at a fixed temperature of about 150/160 degrees.
The only drawback at the Vitair is (besides the lack of recipe book) the development of odor.
Although it smells in the kitchen not to frying fat, but still smells of the respective courts and used spices are distributed fairly intensively by the ventilation of Vitair in the kitchen or around the home. If at all possible, you should place the device on the cooking space under the hood.
The accessories of Vitair can be easily cleaned in the dishwasher. When the grill cage already more intensive cleaning is necessary times, but still easy to do.
The noise is not greater than that of a microwave.
The program end is indicated acoustically.
The cooking process can be traced well through the transparent cover. During cooking, the interior is lit as long as the temperature is heated. Meanwhile, the lighting switches off briefly (if the temperature has been reached).
The cap is determined when you open it. So he can not simply fall back.
To remove the hot frying basket and open, you really have to cheat a little, so as not to burn your fingers.
As for the quality of the various dishes is recommended As the Klarstein Vitair hot air fryer definitely a good alternative to conventional fryer and an energy-saving variant of the oven.
