like some say, you need to buy the oil spray in order for it not to be too dry. but that spray then is an added cost. but the good thing is, you put in, set time and cal walk away rather than need to watch over it like traditional frying.

but i still think they dont taste as good. and see the design, some can be difficult to wash. yeah they do sell those non stick paper etc, but end up more and more thing in your kitchen

+1

If cant see the food very difficult to cook using air fryer if you don't remember the settings for every different food

oven are hard to clean and this is oven design.

With pull out tray, you can soak it in water also no problem.

I uses less oil. Oil good or bad?

i use khind 2500, cheap and with window so i can see whats happening inside. use nearly daily and much faster.

I still have traditional oven but now not using.

as mentioned by many get air sprayer to make your food tastier and less dry.

oil makes food tasty. Use a lot or less, up to you.

i have one AF as well..

since need to spray oil, then too much hassle. i just deep fried fries and wallah less than 5mins..

yes..the pros less oil vs many oil used.

Coat food with oil before frying to avoid becoming dry.

just go for it.
worth it

OK. Bought early gen philips one (no digital, all manual dials). Easy for meal prep since we are working parent and busy kids. Every morning wake up just pop whatever for kids lunches. They know how to reheat. Even in MCO they still prefer their meals to be air fryer prepared

Clean up a bit leceh lah - i just threw mine into dishwasher once or twice a week. Once in a while have to "steam clean" - its in the instructions.

i have 1 of the similar design at home thats why i suggested it

its actually easy to clean if you ignore the heating element, which is on the top, usually things dont go to the top, unless you put wrong thing into the fryer, ie powder.

cause when fryer start, air will circulate, if you put something with alot of powder, then they might blow upwards, then its your problem, like putting iron into washing machine, dont blame the washing machine go kaboom.

liquid or oil will just drip downwards, usually you have a tray at very bottom to collect oil, all you need is wash that frequently, and sometimes wipe the internal (leave the heating element on top untouched), and do not do it while its hot, its alot easier compare to use oil to deep fry, ALOT EASIER.

that's only a problem when you don't cook often! hahahaha
if you use them daily like i do.. i don't even need to follow their manual or guide anymore.

but how you keep your oil/left over oil? don't tell me you pour all of it into the basin every time you deep fry something ah.

storing left over oil is something from the past unless you still do them but definitely not for me.

Bought airfyer 7 years ago, still using it today.

Oven cook taste better.

Airfyer does contribute to healthy eating because it drains out any fats or oil.

Airfryer is good for if you dont want to waste time but it doesnt taste as good when deep frying.

Make sure you have good circulation in the house otherwise you will have a smog.

The net is kind hard to clean so make sure you have tin foils.

Make sure to clean and check it regularly because small cockroaches can get into it and they love leftover oil.

for years never clean the oven because it's messy to clean. Grim got stuck to all the walls. So I prefer the pull out tray. Squeeze some detergent and water and let it soak. Much easier.

well if you able to know if the food is cooked or not without looking at it, then go ahead, im not a pro, i prefer to see whats happening than just guess

that's why i say just get the one from buffalo.. i think it will solve the mentioned problem. Like it or not the phillips air fryer you have to clean the top over time.. both the basket and the top is a pain for cleaning anyway that's why i'm using cubie XL at the moment it's an ALL in one. Only drawback is.. using an air fryer it needed less time... salmon for instance.. 22 minutes vs 15 minutes. and cubie i need to preheat few more mins there

used cooking oil rm1.50/kg

Start with the preset and soon you know what food works well and what don't and for how long. Chicken and pork works well. You should try the crispy skinned roasted pork etc. Fish, traditional frying with oil still far better. For big whole chicken roasting, still need the oven.

Good for reheat. Can make soggy biscuits back to original state.

the problem is with how do you take care of the left over oil? if you pouring it into the basin.. i suggest you to stop doing that.. in a long run it will clog up the pipe and give you more trouble..

PS: don't pour oil in especially when it's hot.. hot oil + cold water it will form layers of unwanted fat much quicker.
