Product Review: Phillips Air Fryer

The Phillips Air Fryer is amazing! 

We bought the Phillips Air Fryer HD9220 a few years ago to make a healthy version of chips, however since buying it we have realised that it is way more versatile than we first thought. I make wedges from scratch, coutons for a salads, cook steaks, chicken kievs', meat pies, sausage rolls, those packets of yum cha and doughnuts. Basically I have found that most things (especially things that you can put in the oven)  can be thrown in there. Apparently you can do a cake - personally I am a bit skeptical but I am willing to give ti a try.

 Of course a steak is always better on the BBQ but sometimes that's the last thing that you want to be worrying about, so you heat it up chuck the chips and the steak it and it cooks it all in one go! 

I am going to give you guys a pros and cons list because I LOVE pros and cons lists! Also I think it helps break it down so you guys don't have to read a 7 page review that you are going to get bored reading when you really want something that makes it easy to make a decision. 

Pros

• Quick 
• Oven Baked wedges in the oven can take up to 30 minutes to get crispy from frozen but in the Air Fryer its much quicker at around 15-20 minutes depending how you like you're wedges. 
• Easy 
• Preheat to the temperature you want. Put the food in and every now and then pull it out and toss the food to ensure an even heat distribution. 
• Healthier 
• Who doesn't like fried foods? Personally after a while I get a stomach ache from too much oil. With the Phillips Air Fryer you don't need to add any oil so it makes it a much healthier alternative. 
• Easy Cleaning 
• The non-stick coating means that it is much easier to clean. Pull out the frying basket and the dish and throw it in the dishwasher. 
• If you've left it longer than you would admit to I have found if you put water and dish washing liquid in the dish and heat it for 15 - 20 minutes it takes the hard to clean stuff off. 

Cons

• The size 
• The size that we have was is great for about 3 - 4 people but any more than that and you would probably struggle.
• Because it is a bit bulky it makes it a lot harder to store. Living in an apartment with limited storage also does not help! But because we use it so often space was a sacrifice we were willing to make. 

Would I buy it again?

Yes, 100% yes. It had made cooking much easier and more convenient plus lunches are a breeze!
