Phillips Air Fryer | Product Review |

If you love fried food but cannot put your health and fitness at risk then Air Fryer is a perfect appliance for your kitchen.

I bought Air fryer 8 months back and honestly, I am loving it. I had been using microwave oven since 5 years but despite the convenience they offer, I always had doubt that cooking food with microwave oven makes food less healthy. According to a study, the  radiation which interacts with food molecules can cause long term, permanent health hazard.

So, I was looking for substitute of microwave oven and while buying AC in an electronic shop it got my attention. I asked salesperson for its features and found it pretty attractive. After some research and discussion with family, we bought our New Philips Air Fryer and trust me that was the best decision we made towards our health.

You can cook almost anything in air fryer. Whether your favorite dish is Paneer tikka, french fries, muffins, chips, cakes, bread, samosa Air Fryer can prepare it all. 

I stopped buying cookies, biscuits, bread from market. I bake my own bread and cookies now. Within minutes you can have crunchy golden fries or roasted kaaju, crispy and healthy chickpeas.

Recently I tried pizza in my Air fryer and i got that perfectly crisp bottom crust that can be difficult in any oven. I was so happy that now I can have pizza without guilt of having junk food loaded with cheese, sugar and extra sodium.

Technology Used

An air fryer is a kitchen appliance that cooks by circulating hot air around the food using convection mechanism. It is a smaller version of convection oven. A mechanical fan circulates the hot air around the food at high speed.

I am enlisting some Advantages (Pros) and Disadvantages (Cons) of Air fryer :

Pros :

1. Low Fat meal prepared with less or no oil.

2. Healthier food.

3. Uses hot air circulation, so food cooked from all angles.

4. Really Fast and Quick.

5. Easy to use.

6. Compact in size, appropriate for a family of 4 or 5.

7. Easy to clean.

8. Lesser power consumption compared to Microwave oven.

9. One can use stainless steel utensils also to cook food.

Cons :

1. Small size resulting in crowding.

2. Not good for large family due to small size.

3. As food cooks without oil it turns out to be dry if overcooked, need to be extra cautious about timing.

Although food won't taste exactly the same as deep fried but it will be healthier because you will use less oil.
