Review: Philips Airfryer Avance XL – Air is the new oil

LOSE THE OIL NOT THE TASTE WITH THE PHILIPS AIRFRYER

Philips Airfryer recently celebrated it’s 3^rd Anniversary, and we dropped by their Orchard Road celebrations to let the Philips Airfryer team know just how much we were enjoying our healthy fried food at home.

We were recently asked to try out the Philips Airfryer Avance XL and, for the past 5 months, we have been frying food the healthy way and have discovered exactly how ‘air is the new oil’!

Our Editor Clare has been cooking up a storm in her kitchen and has earned the thumbs up from her bubbas for dishes like – Pop Corn Chicken, Sweet Potato Fries, Stuffed Peppers, Crispy Fish Pieces and Roast Potatoes and has also used the very versatile Philips Airfryer for quick tricks like – warming up a quiche and making yesterday’s pizza into a hot yummy snack.

Clare was pleased to tell us just how easy and convenient the Philips Airfryer is to use:-

“The Airfryer I have been trying out is the Philips Avance XL, it has 50% more capacity than the Viva Digital model, we are a family of 4 but the Avance XL model would be suitable for large families too. I was happy that the unit itself is of a nice size and does not take over the kitchen work surface. With easy to follow, simple instructions, touch screen capability and recipe book included even I couldn’t go wrong!”

“The best part about using an Airfryer is that you use far less oil without compromising on taste. I also appreciated the versatility of the Philips Airfryer, I searched out lots of tried and tasted recipes online and found that it is not just for frying food.”

Here are some technical notes to back up the Philips Airfryer product promise:-

How does the Airfryer function?

• Patented Rapid Air technology for fast and precise circulating of hot air that mimics frying.
• Patented starfish design for evenly cooked food without turning.
