Whereas a few years ago, hot air fryers were hard to find on the domestic market, today, there aren't many people who haven't heard of low fat air fryers. Tefal had been probably the first to bring out their own version and this has become incredibly well-liked despite its high price in comparison with conventional deep fryers. However, the battle has begun and Philips has now launched their model which has a totally different look to the Tefal. So what are the main considerations you must think about when making your decision.
Areas you should consider are who is going to use the air fryer, where you are going to use it, what you actually want it for, dependability and of course the price. Let's look at these aspects in turn, but first, a short summary on how they work.
With a standard deep fat fryer the food is submerged in hot fat, air fryers work by circulating very hot air to be able to heat and crisp up the outside level of the food. Exactly how the air is distributed differs according to the air fryer model, but food is cooked quickly and without making use of anywhere near the level of oil needed for a deep fryer. With the low fat air fryers, this may be simply no oil if you are using frozen chips that are already coated with oil, or just a tablespoon for 800 to 1000gm of fresh food.
Please note We said 'low fat' air fryers as a few models that are marketed as air fryers work in an alternative way and will routinely dip the food in and out of the oil (e.g. the De'Longhi Rotofry). Although this uses approximately half the oil of a traditional fryer, it is far removed from that used by the low fat air fryers manufactured by Philips and Tefal.
Moving on to who's going to use the fryer - Many adults will be able to use the air fryers and this is especially relevant to those who have difficulty gripping things as there is much less danger when managing deep fat fryers. You won't have to deal with a couple of litres of boiling oil and worry about burning yourself.
Your kitchen is obviously the right spot to use your air fryer. Nevertheless, because it doesn't have to hold a couple of litres of oil or fat, it's much easier to take it away with you to show it off to friends, or use within a caravan or a vacation home.
As for what you want it for, so many people are thrilled to be able to eat chips that actually taste like they have been deep fried but without having all the calories. Potato chips are certainly one of the main cravings when you are dieting thus, making this an easy way to have what your brain craves! Another thing to mention is that the two main low fat air fryers cook different types of food items. They both cook potato chips and meats, yet one will work with stir fries, currys etc., while the other will even bake cakes and part-baked bread! Unfortunately, they both don't do everything so you have to determine where your preferences lie.
The reliability of low fat air fryers has come into question of late, and it is too soon to evaluate given this is quite fresh technology. The Tefal has had some issues but the Philips is far too new to discuss. Users however, mostly seem very happy making use of their purchase.
Price is always going to be a consideration and you should shop around to get the best value. Even though Philips at this time has got the highest RRP, you can get this air fryer for around the same price as the Tefal. If price is your main consideration, the De'Longhi is certainly the cheapest but is only going to cook food suited to deep frying and uses more oil.
