Although the Airfryer is advertised as "Heissluftfritteuse", this term is not applicable. Frying means that the fried food is cooked in hot fat floating and can not replace hot air. By Airfryer although you can cook French fries, but should be the pre-fried oven chips.
The unit is supplied with a grill, which is also urgently needed, because the basket of Airfryers only has a size of 19 x 19 cm and a height of 8 cm. Through the grate the food to be cooked on two floors. We prepare the Airfryer love marinated chicken legs (drumsticks) to so you can cook for 5-6 per floor drumsticks at a time. Since the Airfryer compared to a conventional convection oven has a much smaller oven, it is heated in less than three minutes up to its maximum temperature of 200 ° C.
The Philips HD9230 is operated via a digital LCD display, which allows you to pre-set cooking times of up to 60 minutes. About the end of this time, the unit will beep means information and then switches itself off automatically. The cooking temperature is also set using arrow up or arrow down keys on the display.
The operating noise and odor nuisance during operation adheres completely within limits, with the smell and smoke development is strongly dependent on each cooked food to be grilled. Marinated meat, the fat hits the hot drip tray, smells and evaporated more than if you just cooked oven fries. For sensitive noses it is therefore advisable to operate the Airfryer in preparation of greasy barbecue food under the cooker hood.
The cleaning of the device is simple, because you the basket and the drip pan can simply wash in the dishwasher. The gentler alternative is manual cleaning using a soft sponge, soap and warm water. The Airfryer is best wipes inside out with a damp, moistened with a few drops of detergent cloth. Only if fat injected to the heating element, which is the top of the device, a slightly more elaborate purification procedure is necessary.
The Philips Airfryer has become an indispensable part of our kitchen any more. Whether you want fast times baking rolls or croissants cook, crispy, pre-fried French fries or marinated chicken drumsticks or salmon, all that the instrument can really first class. However, to replace a conventional fryer capable of Airfryer not definitely. One disadvantage I feel also a bit too small sized oven. If you want more than half a bag cook (about 400 g) or more fries marinated pieces of meat at a time, I recommend purchasing the larger Airfryer XL. This device requires only a slightly larger footprint, but can serve for a considerably larger oven.
