Questions... If anyone owns such a product...
1. Worth the price?
2. Should I buy it?
3. What all can be cooked in it?
4. Taste of food compared to deep fryed?
5. Anything else I should know?
1. If you love fried potato fingers or other such stuff, then the airfryer is for you, cooks fantastic with much less oil. I now love the taste of french fries from the airfryer than deep fried.
2. Absolutely go for it.
3. We cook all the deep fried fast food items, like french fries, wedges, etc. We just buy a frozen pack from a super market and use it with the airfryer. They also say that you can bake in it, once wife baked muffins in it and turned out to be pretty good. For small quantities you can use the airfryer to bake, for rest just use the oven.
4. Taste wise, I love the airfryer more than deep fried.
5. I bought one from olx, it was new (kind of) and costed me 7k,
Philips model. The guy who sold me said the reason was that he just bought it and he was moving out of town, he also gave me 3 mths old
flipkart invoice. I powered it just for a sec at his place to see if the unit was working. When I came home, I was horrified to find that once opened the tray would not go back. On close looking I found that the heat grill was hanging loose and their was sticky plastic grease all over the inside. It took me an hour to clean it & fix it. I think the guy switched it on with the packing material still inside to test, and later when smoked billowed from the vents he realized the mistake. He maybe tried to clean it which is why the heating element came loose and he never knew how to fix it back. Lucky for me, nothing was broken and was fixed easily.
