Firstly - The Airfryer replaced no fryer. In the end it's more like a pimped mini oven. Oven fries and croquettes you get so actually quite good back (in a blind test but all have the real fryer recognized). But when I tried my beloved Buffalo Wings (fried chicken wings which are then coated with a spicy sauce) prepare in Airfryer I quickly realized the limits. Although I have wet the wing as in the (incidentally very good and appealing) instructions with oil and several times shaken, they just were not consistently crispy but only in some places and otherwise rather soggy. When I would have done in the oven. In addition, you can taste dishes are wrapped in a batter before frying or an unstable form have completely forgotten (because the whole simply passes through the basket). What are quite works well convenience products from the freezer.
The device itself is a nice, well-made piece of equipment and very easy to use. In principle, you have only set the temperature and the cooking time and place to be fried in the basket in the drawer. Done. When cooking, there is a moderate noise but which is quieter than eg a microwave. The exterior remains in a touchable temperature. Afterwards, the frying basket (and if necessary the whole drawer) in the dishwasher. In addition to the frying basket, an alternative cooking grate is still supplied me small shashlik skewers. So far I have the still never used, but I can well imagine so, for example, to cook a fried chicken breast finished.
As I said missing for me is still the real relevance of such a (not very cheap) device. In principle, you can do anything what you do with it in an oven. Does anyone no oven (yes in some student flats there are still) then he will probably want to make hardly such a device / can. If you want to do something different in the oven and cook side dishes alongside in his Airfryer then this is a useful application, but for more than 2-3 servings simply lack of space. However, I must admit that the cook in Airfryer me much more pleasant than occurs in the oven. French example should not be cumbersome upside down on a hot plate, but briefly pulling out the drawer and shakes.
The possibly slightly lacks the relevance but that does not mean it's a bad device. Who wants to cook low fat, plenty of room in his kitchen and the leisure can take some time to deal with it make the Airfryer certainly some interesting things on their feet. Many will thus perhaps to cook his favorite style. But you should really not my you get a fat-free fryer.
