Albeniz Turbocharged January 20, 2014 Share January 20, 2014 Dear Folks, Thinking of making some fried chicken wings and French fries but have always been concerned about the amount if oil used in conventional cooking. I was looking at some youtube videos and was quite amazed at the little amount of oil used in the air fryer. Has anyone used this before? Would appreciate if you could share your experience. Would the food be crispy? I am particular interested in making fried chicken and pomfret. Is this machine good? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albeniz Turbocharged January 20, 2014 Author Share January 20, 2014 Looks like quite a good investment for someone who likes to eat fried food. Suitable to fry promfet using this machine? Does it take longer time to fry chickens wing compared with conventional method? Is it easy to clean? Sorry, I have so many questions. :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lala81 Hypersonic January 20, 2014 Share January 20, 2014 i have. it's just working like a convection oven. Fries tend to be more like jagabee then macdonald's french fries have to be careful, don't use on solid surface. Cos the hot air vents out, discolored my solid surface. I suggest only place it on wood or other surfaces which u know can handle the heat. i've only tried french fries. Lol... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babyt 4th Gear January 20, 2014 Share January 20, 2014 (edited) never use before but to me, the concept is like BAKING, putting food inside oven and dry bake. imagine u bake fries and chicken without oil, where got nice?? fried must use oil then is nice.
