Air Fryers which do not use teflon

[johnny333]

I had Phillips air fryer. I find it cooks like a mini oven. I can get food cook with pretty much same result using a oven.

I have a full size electric oven but the problem with ovens is that if you don't use them regularly they eventually develop problems e.g. the oven door locks up, they trip the fuse of the whole house,.. This warning was provided by an experienced sales person.
So if I want to use my old oven I will have to get it serviced :(

I'm looking at the smaller airfryer as an oven replacement. Only need one to bake small quantities of fish. The smaller airfyer will also do it more efficiently, using less power then a full sized oven.

i don't fry my food these days. my rectum is telling me to stay with salad, steamed and sautéed vege. tonychat is the best!

That is why I recommend juicing. If you use a slow juicer very little heat is developed, maximizing the nutrients you get from the fruits & vegetables. When it comes to juicing I will invest in organic veggies/fruits because I know that the nutrients will not be wasted through cooking.

I want to move away from frying & use a airfryer because it is more efficient & uses less oil

What about a convection oven? Small, cheap and easy to clean.

I use a blender of 600w, I think after blending my juice is warm. Not good for health?

I moved out recently with just a rice cooker and a pot. I don't fry as I don't know how to. I got bored with just dumping everything into the soup and I tried to bake using my rice cooker. It spoilt the rice cooker a few times after that but my sliced potatoes are cooked.

i bought happy call, juice blender, oven and many more cooking machines.

but i seldom use, now my house all store up with all these cooking machines.

now, i mostly just steam fish. cook soup...

With costs in Spore so high today you need something to cook at home. Fortunately nowadays you have a wide array of small appliance to choose from e.g. induction hob, gas hob, airfryer,... In fact I would say that prices of these appliances have fallen when compared to the past.

I got my built-in oven 10+ years ago & back then it cost me $1,300+. If I was moving into a new place today today I would save the space & $ by getting something simpler. Such as those multi cookers which are both steamer & oven, or an airfryer. Those induction cookers are also much cheaper now.

A bit side track from the topic..

How much do you juice per day? I find that when i juice about 900 to 1000ml, including green veggies added to it, i have the feel good effect and the next morning i have the high energy effect.. By the way i drink it in the evening. The green veggie chlorophyll really do wonders..

I only juice in the morning.

About 800ml, more or less. I aga aga. if the beetroot is a big one I use half, if small I use the whole vegtable. If I can get both swiss chard & kale I will use both. I have been cutting back on the carrots because of concerns about it being too sweet. If I get those tiny organic apples from NTUC, I use 2 of them. If they are the bigger ones, 1 use one of them. I sometimes add an organic cucumber & that has plenty of juice.

Unlike in the past, nowadays I am feeling good. No problems with aches & pains or lack of energy

It's not practcal to juice more than once a day because I am also supplementing with products that have t be taken on an empty stomach. Can imagine the problem of trying to juggle so many different products. 1st thing in the morning Serrapaptase/Natto---wait 2hrs---collagen supplements--wait 1 to 2 hr--juicing--then lunch time with the bulk of my supplements.

Some people prefer blending to juicing because it is more filling as you retain the pulp of the veggie/fruits.

Those that get serious about blending usually use a Vitamix or Blendtec blender, those units have a larger motors that will last longer & do a more thorough job of blending.

For a better idea of what the Buffalo can do take a look at the Arshia air fryer which is quite similar. However the Buffalo uses stainless steel & has more cooking options i.e. more buttons.

Buffalo is a Taiwanese company & all their videos are in mandarin & in my opinion they don't do a good job of selling the benefits of their products to the internet users. However the cookbook they provide is in english & seems to be good. One can always down load the recipe book from Phillips & use it

my ingredient:

6 stalks of Kale, 6 to 9 lettuce leaves, 1 beetroot, 5 to 7 carrots, 2 apples, 1 cucumber, 10 cherry tomatoes, 1 thumb ginger, 1 lemon ( 1200 ml)

I sometimes drink green tea mixed with the juice of half a lemon. Suppose to drink it 1st thing in the morning before anything else. It's supposed to help with detoxing & weight loss. I've never added lemon to my juicing.

If I do that I wait about an hour before juicing.

Initially I added ginger to my juicing but nowadays I just take supplements of curricurum & ginger.
It's suppose to help prevent cancers.

Oh forgot that I've recently started to add chlorella to my morning juices & in the evenings I take spirulina pills.

Yes the normal oven easily breakdown if don't use regularly and it is difficult to clean. I am using the halogen oven that has a glass bottom. Very easy to just wipe off. Can bake chicken drumsticks easily without using any oil.

When I use a stainless steel pan to fry, I often get black marks which require plenty of scrubbing to get off. Which is strange because it happens even when I use minimal heat e.g. frying eggs It also happens only on some of the stainless steel pans & not others Unfortunately it happens to the more expensive Sitram french made pan :(

So far I have used the Buffalo to bake fish & it is very easy to clean the stainless steel mesh tray & pan. I only use detergent & a sponge. I don't see why the other brands are using non-stick coating Maybe it is cheaper material than stainless steel

I don't normally eat chicken because of the hormones they pump into chickens but I want to check out the rotisserie function of the Buffalo

where do you get the buffalo frying pan?

 

[Froggy]

I avoid Teflon as much as possible. My non-stick wok uses marble coating (Korean made).

Was in CK Tang last week and bought 2 Ceramic coated woks, do you have any comment regarding this like health concern and also the durability?

 

[johnny333]

where do you get the buffalo frying pan?

I bought it from the agent Song Cho. I went to their showroom at #04-03 Plaza Singapura.

They have more showrooms all over Spore. You can visit their website for the address of the other locations www.songcho.com.sg
