Quite a surprise - Observe the temperature choice!

After a scathing review but (the other times we have uncommented), I was very curious to see how the Philips would make. Today the device and the same evening came I made fries with it. Namely, the ripple chips from Lidl.

I have the device preheated 4 minutes (at 200 ° C) and then set for 8 minutes at 190 ° C and then again for 8 minutes at 180 ° C. In basketry 400 g of chips, or almost half a pack.

The fries are nice kunsprig and become brown to act somehow burned without. Sure, frozen fries are frozen fries but compared to prepare in the oven, I found the Philps fries much better and also cooked more evenly. Important might be that you do not choose the temperature is too high. While efforts are being recommended 200 ° C, but I suspect that there were those 200 ° C that have the other reviewers brought the charred chips. At night time I would even take each 180 ° C and, if necessary, 8 and 9 minutes instead of two times 8 minutes.

The interruption for half the time is recommended so that you can take out the grid with french fries and "turns", ie the grid shakes. With some practice, that's no problem.

Of the 400 g fries I am alone become very tired, delicious ketchup to salt and good it is. For a family it is as difficult to get a gang of hungry fries hero tired. The capacity for chips is indicated with 750 g. Well, a little more than my 400 g can fill it, but I would say that it is something ungemütlch for fries from 500 g and the "Apply" is more difficult.

So you should start with 500 g and distribute and push the same again 500 g in the Philips for such cases. So then you have each a couple of homemade chips on the plate.

What is a disaster, the guide !!! It has set full here on a purely pictorial representation. Sure, thus saving you the translation in the usual 17 languages. But nowhere is read, whether we should by heating the device in advance, etc.
Even in the cold on the website of Philips has not brought as these comics instructions. However, I could find on the Philips pages, that there is still an XXL model of this machine, which then has a lot more capacity.

Of course, the XXL model is even greater, with the already tested here Standart model is quite voluminous. Stand area approx 35 x 35 cm, height 30 cm well. One of the construction work is due to the thermal insulation. Even 16 minutes fries Make the outer parts were all well lukewarm but dangerously hot in any way! Of course, one is not to be a device running unattended with infants, but in normal operation, it may be difficult to burn here.

Ander it looks natural when taking out the fry basket - which of course is hot as hell.

From the sound of her, you realize that the nice size housing developed a little watering can-like sound. Thus one can live. Also unmistakable is the very loud beeper when the food is ready.

In the digital display the set temperature will be displayed, but not the actually prevailing. That's a pity. But what you can watch "live" is the counting down the clock, in the last 60 seconds even with second indication, otherwise in one minute increments.

Overall, I am pleasantly surprised by the device. I would recommend it. For smaller families who do not want to heat up every time the big oven for a few fries and do not want to have a proper fryer from caloric and health reasons What you need, however, is the appropriate place in the kitchen.
