    Thanks tharmor - this deal was still available a few minutes ago but is gone again now. I think it may reappear again periodically today so, if anyone is still interested, keep an eye on this page:

    Order anyway- they only charge your card when they actually ship the order- and go get a temp card and load it up. If your payment bounces- they ask you for another payment option.

    Ordered. Happy sigh because now I have to re-read the 576 posts to determine the best recipes, cooking techniques and the vague memory of a recommendation to make the cooking rack from a BBQ rack...

    I'm in a similar boat, ordered this as soon as I saw it purely based on people raving about the things!

    No idea how to use it or if I've any need for it :eek:

    Mine was dispatched from the UK- and then went to Staufenberg in Germany (where-ever that is). Its now en-route from Staufenberg to Koln....... Looks like its on a magical mystery tour of Europe........... One way or the other- its definitely not going to be here today- depending on how its tour of Germany goes- it may not even be here next week......... Wish I was in a position to accompany it around Germany/The Netherlands- I could do with a break............

    I was looking at a phillips airfryer in currys today (€129) and thought it was really quite small for a decent size meal. Apart from chips and garbage is there somewhere to see ideas and recipes and what exactly I can cook in it ?

    The reason we were getting so excited earlier in this week on this thread- is the Philips Airfryer we were looking at- is the larger 3 litre / 1.2 kg one- not the small one that Currys have here (same series, larger capacity). The smaller one is fine- if cooking for one- the larger one rapidly becomes necessary- if you're trying to feed a family.........

    Repackaged- as in not in the original box?
    If it new- or remanufactured?

    Mine is now in Liege in Belgium- and has an ETA of Friday here........

    I wouldn't get too upset if its simply repackaged- however, if its remanufactured, I'll be pissed........

    For anyone thinking of getting the XL airfryer, it is too big for the Parcel Motel box so oversize charges apply.

    (Mine is due tomorrow and will report on whether it is repackaged then).

    If you're getting it from Amazon- its free shipping to Ireland- so why bother with Parcel Motel at all?

    When I was checking out the free delivery did not appear as an option - not sure why - so I delivered to PM and then later saw that ye got free delivery so perhaps I missed something.

    I got my airfryer on sale before Christmas last year (smaller analog one) and have started to use it more and more recently (with thanks to this thread!). I haven't used the normal oven in weeks now.

    Some comments I have:

    Giant Aldi Specially Selected Chips: Whoever recommended these, great shout! I find they take a bit longer to cook than the suggested times here (for me its closer to 10 and 10).

    Fresh Chips (peeling and cutting spuds): Found it was really important to soak these in water for at least 30 mins, makes a huge difference to them. Taste different than deep fried, but really nice. Havent done these since we started using the Aldi ones though

    Whole Chicken: Tried a small whole chicken, literally just about fit. Think I cooked it for about 40 mins on 200 (Don't quote me on this!) and it came out great. (I'd recommend a food thermometer to ensure its cooked through)

    Nachos: We really like these as a snack/treat, we used to do it in the oven but this is much handier. We get a small ceramic dish, layer salted Tortilla chips then apply a layer of grated cheese (we use the cheddar & mozzarella mix, but anything will work) and repeat. From cold it takes 4-5 mins to cook (keep an eye on it cause the top layer can burn pretty easily, if this happens just remove the top layer and eat whats underneath!). To remove the dish from the fryer i use a big metal spoon to pry it up and an oven glove to take it out.

    Cleaning: The dishwasher tablet and boiling water worked a treat, thanks to whoever recommended that!

    Cooking times in General: If you are trying something new, as I think has been mentioned lots, halving the cooking time for an oven is a good place to start. I have done lots of different things in it at this stage (goujons, spring rolls, wedges etc) and haven't been disappointed yet.

    Hi all,

    Looking to get an AirFryer for family (2 adults and 2 teenage kids) use.

    I spotted the Tefal ActiFry Family Express XL Low Fat Healthy Fryer, 1.5 kg on offer on Amazon last week for £115 https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00QVKMPDS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and ordered it but it arrived damaged so has been shipped back for a refund. Went to re-order it and it's not £150 :(

    Didn't spot this thread until today so looking for a steer on A) what model AirFryer to get and B) any current bargain alerts.

    Thanks in advance.
