Air Fryer...Is it that Good?

The Philips airfryer is good stuff. Make damn good fried chicken ...crispy skin and juicy meat. Can eat friend chicken everyday with no guilt as so much oil is drained off the chicken during the cooking process.
Used less than 10 times almost 5 month ago. You need to practise else food tnda to overdry or undercook
Have one at home, bought it at a sale, other than the no oil frying, it takes time to cook. The compartment storing the food is rather small, as oppose to the size of the air fryer. A good convenient cooker, it is, rather than that, the conventional oven, & whatever is still the best.
Bought it at a sale...:p
Damn good gadget ever invented..... I paif $348 but now can be gotten for $200+ wiht
Cooks with most of fats n oil strippwed from the meat without affect its taste. Many ways of using it... the sky is the limit - just figure out. I saves you electricity too....... make curry puffs better than original && you tiao too

Blessed is the ignorant
what about the smells/fumes?
any?
You fry anything that produces smell, it will smell...have you ever cooked?? air fry fish...you get FISHY smell...
You will have to buy PURE COCONUT oil, do you know, it is very & I would say, extremely difficult to find Pure coconut oil...I have tried all the neighbourhood shops including the ones, specially selling food for Indians, even the Malays one, looking for pure coconut oil. Not the low grade type nor the ones, they rub on their hair etc...
When yo do find them....you 1 litre is expensive too...& you ask the Indian shops they tell you, pure coconut oil hard to get these days..
I only use Extra virgin coconut oil for all my cooking. Been using the Nutiva brand which I get from iHerb, http://www.iherb.com/search?sug=nutiva raw coconut&kw=nutiva vir&rank=3#p=1
I avoid heavy frying because it is unhealthy. Use it to fry eggs, pancakes,....
Smell is not that overpowering.
Fumes, not that much ....you get that if you have hot oil dripping onto hot oil collected in the tray. The workaround is to throw out the oil after you cook each batch. The amount of oil collected from airfrying just 4 pieces of chicken is shocking. Now, I eat my fried chicken with no fear.
I have seen those copycat ...the tray is different. And I believe the patent is on the tray ...that's why the air circulation in the Philips model works.
One tablespoon of oil is all you need. Fresh fries tastes so much better than the frozen types.
How do you season the chicken? Battered in flour to get the crispy effect?
Can't afford to eat french fries because it costs too much health wise:(
Even if you use fresh potatoes & coconut oil, there is a problem with acrylamide which is a carcinogen. It is formed when potatoes are cooked at high temperatures
Even without flour, can also get the crispy effect.
the downside is, the compartment is too small for big object.
How much does the airfryer cost? where to buy?
