Ok, so I always wanted to get me one of these convection oven thingies especially for Ramadaan. A few years ago found out about something like this but it was way over my budget. Last week I walked through the shop and saw about 20 of these air fryers, today I went and there were about 4 on display. I thought eish, i better get me one of these or else I am going to hunt for them, they are obviously selling like hot cakes. I brought it home. Unpacked it and experimented with a few things. I tried samoosas as the inaugural food in the air fryer. Told bachoo I won’t be making samoosas for her until I get the air fryer. So she was waiting anxiously for the samoosas. Then I tried Cutlets and chips. Very easy to use and clean. Last year this time we were moving house and I remember clearly sukkeling to clean the deep fryer, not a very nice job to clean a greasy oily deep fryer.
The outcome:
As I am one that doesn’t like oily fried food I think this is perfect for me, I am not sure if Madala will agree. The chips are crispier then oven baked chips. The cutlets were perfect. The samoosas were crispy and tasted normal to me without that oily taste. Obviously if you are use to ghee vari roti’s and all of a sudden you eating something air droog, it is an acquired taste.. We are use to having oven baked chips.
The only thing I think I needed to maybe brush some oil on the samoosas so they got a more even air fryer tan.. but even with it being half tanned it tasted normal and crispy. Great product if you looking for oil less cooking. Just need to experiment a little more to get the right settings etc for each thing. I am very glad I managed to get mine before Ramadaan..eish, Now I can relax, I am almost prepared for the holy month.
PS. Bachoo also enjoyed the samoosa..
Next to test fish fingers, pies, spring rolls, kebabs..
I tried the Pies and spring rolls.. they also tasted fine. The pies were great the best so far in the air fryer. I also tried some pataria was nice.. think some oil brusing and it will be normal..
I finally tried samoosa’s brushed with little oil and it taste normal and looked normal..
Only thing is with chips i think u must eat it immediately.. stale chips are never nice anyway..
Anyone else have an air fryer? what do you think compared normal fryer?
All contestants will participate in a cook off at the end of the year.

Slmz.. I bought the philips airfyer about 2months ago.. I will never regret the purchase ! I use frozen chips and it tastes almost the same as fried chips.. Makes the best garlic rolls ever.. Springrolls really come out nice as well.. I even airfried viennas and the taste was the same as oil fried ! Today made pies for my daughter in the airfryer and came out the same as oven baked..I have yet to master home made fresh chips in the airfryer .. Would recommend it to any1
I also got it last week and have been experimenting.Samoosas have to be brushed with oil.Spring rolls also taste better if brushed with oil
I’m considering getting one as well, however I’ve heard people say that anything fried in there goes off or tastes funny if not consumed immediately…
Got it, love it, use it everyday. Uses very little electricity! Made just about everything in there, including pies and tarts. They baked perfectly.
salams the fryer sounds interesting wat is the price
salams the fryer sound interesting wat is the price.

salaams i heard about the actified fryer ,is there a difference in the Philips air Fryer and the actified fryer. I was looking to buy the Philips one but it is over my budget.How big is the air fryer and how many pies can we bake. Also looking at convection ovens, due to price.Really confused ,Where will i buy a airfryer 4 R1699.00.
Salaams Ruksana
Where can I buy this in South Africa please.It sounds amazing.
Slms Nanima, how long does it take on average to prepare samoosas (for example) in the air fryer? Jazaaks!
about 10 to 15 minutes you have to just brush some oil before u put in if you want the golden brown normal samoosa look
can anyone tell me which appliance is better to buy, the tefal actifry or phillips airfryer.
Ask Nanima?
Has anyone managed to fry cheese samoosa and spring rolls in the air fryer. Everything else seems to work fine but these two apparently. The springrolls were fine just burst open a little?

Everyone is talking about savouries and chips….what about everyday kind of food? Chicken, steak, etc?
Also, wich is better? the tefal or Phillips? Do you have to preheat the fryer?
Time-wise compared to normal pot cooking….is it quicker or the same?

Ayesha Hoosain Kanjee Takes a while to get used to using it correctly, brush or spray defrosted samoosa’s with a little oil and don’t over fry as that’s when it dries out, boil chips until almost soft but not mushy, drain, spray with oil and fry, chips come out perfect and not oily, soak the tray in the base of the airfryer at night with warm water and bit of sunlight liquid, easy to clean in the morn and if u really lazy like me u can line with foil, just allow for enough air to flow
