Re: Air Fryer

ive eaten fries and sweet-potato fries made in an air frier. not bad if fresh, wait 10 mins and not so great.

Re: Air Fryer

YES! It’s brilliant, i have the philips one. It’s like a mini oven but more powerful and much faster. It also cooks food all the way round - like home-made chips for example. I think it’s a brilliant thing to have in the kitchen and have used it numerous times. Highly recommended.

Re: Air Fryer

Its takes a lot more time than normal frying ,and as queer said, if you don’t eat the fries when they are fresh, it doesn’t taste very good.

Re: Air Fryer

fries come out great in this and take a max of 15 mins - homemade chips take longer.

Re: Air Fryer

Thanks for the input !

I am not so worried about fries but I want to have something where I can cook samosas and chinese spring rolls without deep frying

In that case.diamond. I woukdnt waste my.money cuz it sucks. It’s not made.fir frying samosay, spring rolls etc. It never gets.crisp nor brown and whatever crispness it does reach…goes.soggy in 5 mins flat.

Waste of money imho. :slight_smile:

I have the t-fal actifry.

Re: Air Fryer

I disagree! I use it for samosas and spring rolls as well - they go v crispy!! they dont brown well though so i’ve tried brush oil OR egg - both work well! Much healthier and don’t taste as heavy.

Some months back I put this thread.

I have heard about actifry that as it revolves so the small food items broke in it.
Moreover can u fry pakoras in Air fryer?
What i have concluded is its just a fancy name of oven to psychologically gratify you by putting the name FRYER with it. Samosas can be done with egg brushing in oven and come out really well.

I haven’t used any of these but would like to try them. Don’t want to waste money on it though if they don’t work too well.

I bake samosas and spring rolls in the oven. Honestly, I think they come out pretty good. Not heavy and greasy. You can always brush them with oil or spray with a cooking spray before putting them in.

Re: Air Fryer

Homemade fries take longer than 15 minutes? From what I have experienced, deep frying takes no more than 5 minutes.
