you'll regret getting the smaller one if you're feeding five
unless the kids are very young I doubt very much you would get enough chips in it for all of ye
i filled it and had enough chips for myself and two four year olds

had a tefal for a week it was find also in that the food tasted every bit as good
how long it may last is another thing

Hi

The kids are very young - 2, 3 and 6. Also the childminder tends to give them their main meal so really its just myself and my husband in the evenings and I'm hoping that if we are making chips for the whole family (which wouldn't happen often) then because they cook fast, the 2nd batch will cook while we're eating the first - well that's my logic!!

The Philips take about 20 minute for chips fresh and about 22 frozen. The Tefal takes about 28 minutes depending on quantity. The downside with the larger capacity in the Tefal is the more you put in the longer it takes and with large quantities of chips they tend to get mashed up with the paddle.

Halogen ovens are often compared to the airfryers, think they have a bigger capacity and the cooking times are similar, halogen might be a few minutes longer but more versatile. There is probably better value around than the one in the link below, I got that one for €20 less a few weeks ago. Just to give you another option.

Hi

I ordered the above yesterday but this one - http://www.currys.ie/Mobile/Product/tefal-gh806115-actifry-plus-fryer-white/317448/396.2.9#ctl00_ctl00__nestedContent__mainpageContent_ProductFamilyDetailsView1_liProductDetails

Is now the same price - its 1.2kg capacity vs the 0.8 with the Philips but doesn't have an adjustable thermostat. We're 2 adults and 3 young kids - am I mad getting the smaller one?? I've heard great things about the Philips one but very little about the tefal one??

The tefal one is also only in white which is putting me off!!

Any advise??

I was given an Actifry a couple of years ago. It's a great machine but, in my opinion, you're somewhat limited in what you can cook in it. The paddle has a tendency to break up anything delicate you put in it. Good for the likes of chips or sausages etc., but I'd imagine it would break up fish or larger food.

Thargor

The paddle in the actifrys isn't mandatory, you can remove it and it still cooks stuff, still prefer the Airfryer though.

My sister uses the airfryer for her family of 4 (2 adults and 2 kids around the same ages as yours) she tends to just cook in batches and it suits her fine. Frozen chips cook quickly enough in it, about 12-15 mins for skinny chips, and usually in giving the kids their food first she then actually gets to eat hot food because the kids have finished most of theirs in the mean time and she doesn't have to leave her food to get them drinks, sauce etc

Thanks a lot for that, just ordered the double layer rack with skewers.

stimpson

6.90 for the cake tin is grand for the cake tin, but €16 for postage is a bit rich.

I bought 5 of them and will bang out the other 4 on adverts after Christmas

I tried my first chicken breast in the air fryer today, seasoned it with Schwarz Chicken Herb and Spice Blend and slapped it in for 13 minutes without preheating.

Result: juicy, tender chicken fillet.

I can only imagine how good a Steak tastes!
Next week for sure.


So I tried doing a second one to see if I could get it crispy, preheated for 3 mins, sliced the fillet in half width ways and slapped on for 15 mins.

Came out a bit dry and less tender.

Today's lesson:

Less is more in the Air Fryer!

Whoops that post was destined for the non BA thread, my bad.

My cake tins arrived today. Here's a sneak peak of this brownie recipe. I think the grease proof stopped the heat getting at the top, so next time I'll just grease the tin. Smells great though.

I'll be banging them out on adverts soon, but if anyone on the thread wants one for €15 collected, then PM me.

Its now part of the Buy-4-pay-for-3 range- aka if 4 people here get together you get 4 for £91 x 3 = £273 = £68.25 each

A bit messy having to club together- but its back at a very reasonable price again.........

I've a couple of these cake tins left if anyone wants one cheap. They're going up on adverts tomorrow.

There's a couple of new ones on Adverts asking 140 & 150, might be worth a cheeky bid.

Will it cook enough chips for 4 ppl ?

Thargor

Its only 0.8l of space so 4 people would be pushing it I think. Its a mini fan oven that cooks meat to perfection in half the time of a conventional oven with half the mess which makes it the best thing I ever bought for the kitchen, dont know why they made chips the central focus of the marketing, potato done in hot air is never going to taste as good as potato done in a deep fat fryer. It does do onion rings, chicken nuggets, spring rolls, frozen burgers etc as good as or better than the fryer though, way cleaner taste of them.

They aren't as nice as a deep fat fryer but are nicer and easier than oven cooking them.

Thargor

Yeah oven chips definitely come out of it better than the oven alright and nearly as good as the chipper but Ive never done good home made chips from mine. fish and chips in 15 minutes cooked to perfection every Friday though, these chips:

What I do is typically more like potato cubes instead of chips which can come out lovely and crispy. Or else sweet potato fries can be really nice from it

Nope, original 0.8L that started this thread.

Thank you. That should be more than big enough for two adults I'd assume?

Thargor

Depends what you're cooking, definitely plenty to do the meat for 2 adults.

Either chips or wedges and the meat in the oven or the meat in the Actifry with rice or mash or something.

Thanks for the help.

Is it worth buying this for a family of six? Would it be big enough?

Ive spotted one in Currys (on phone so cant link) that e109. Would i be correct in saying that its a newer model of the one on Amazon.

Really thinking of going for it if i wouldnt have to be cooking 3 or 4 baskets full every time.

Thanks.

Ive never done nice home made chips in mine either, anyone any tips?

This is the newer model in Currys - http://www.currys.ie/Product/philips-hd923020-viva-airfryer-ink-black/322950/408.0

It's €109 and will be the one I am going to go for. It's a pity they have none in stock in the shops in Jervis or Liffey Valley for store pickup though :-( Home delivery does is not coming up as an option for this one!!

I'd say not.. There's an xl model, someone linked to a deal on the German Amazon site earlier in the thread, which would be more suitable..
Have to say, they're fantastic - haven't used my oven since I got it

I got my XL model from amazon.de for €177 during black friday. Like you, I haven't used my oven once since I got it!

Depends what you are cooking, but it could have room for 6 people. Chips for 6 shouldn't be a problem. It'd fit 5 regular-sized burgers if that is what you wanted to make.

Cleaning: Easy. I put the basket/tray into the dish washer.

Philips have a guide for cleaning the element, which I have done once since I got it. It was easy enough.

Splash of oven pride and a lash of boiling water leave it soak and then just give it a wipe out & that's after cooking a steak, I don't clean it after cooking chips on their own as there isn't really any need.

Piece of pee. 2 items ( Basket and surround ), into dishwasher. Job done. Alternatively, warm water & WU liquid. Simple. I've been lining the bottom of the unit (not the basket) with a layer of tin foil lately, almost negating the need to clean it after every use.

That is a much better deal, more precise with temp and timer than the amazon model. Wish I had that updated version.

And a double layer accessory?? No competition!
