Im so pleased you seem to be happy with your Airfryer they really are great.

I rarely use the deep fryer these days or the oven to cook foods that can be just as easily cooked in here. Its also Ideal for the energy saving and keeping the kitchen cool in summer months when you need something baking.

Remember that you can also use it to bake a single or couple of bread rolls to go with soup if you only want to where heating a full oven makes no economical sense.

First of all, who the hell do you think to be, for just thinking i could edit a  post over some pointless speech you do???
Come out of what??? Pffff! Please!
Like if you knew what your're talking about.
Think a little....and come down your pedestal, and perhaps you think to keep yourself out of stuff you evidently don't understand, or simply don't agree with.
Because sometimes it's just matter of points of view....

Il try to reply you point by point, but I think it will be lost time just like the other time...

"I have had a Philips air fryer for close to 2 years and am here to tell that Chips/Fries do Indeed come out 'Fried' and are every bit as good as if not better than using a pan of oil to fry them without the waste and expense of oil and the energy used to heat it. "



Starting from the point I don't really know you and how you cook and what for you is okay or not, I can't really think you can expect me to take for good your claims about something being good or  fried as it should be....because it's according to you not to me.
It may even get out  somewhat tastier  according to you, better than frying,  but this is not exactly  frying and maybe  it come out better to you  because you can't fry well!
Then...
You may well eat and cook shit as far as I am concerned and find it delicious.....
So what's the point?
There isn't!

"The powerful fan ATOMISES the fat in the heat and coats everything in a fine mist of oil that then really does 'FRY' the surface of food. All food surfaces get coated very evenly in oil which is the same as what they do in a pan of it."

Too bad frying doesn't mean only frying a surface,  "Mr  trained chef ", and this already says how much you know about cooking,  but frying means also there must be enough fat to enter certain preparations, moisten them, a thing this stuff can't of course do! Atomizes...please....
Don't come here tell me that fried chicken not the  frozen ready pre-fried  but one made from a raw chicken   gets out as moisten  as if it were dip fried...even better if in a pressure fryer!
Then....
Can you fry Bugie in it? Or you'll get something more like baked bugie? If they ever gets out then?  Which is a totally different thing?  Can you fry a spring roll and get vegetables in it juicy and fairly greasy, not watery?    Do you think you can fry a fritto misto piemontese and expect it to come out good as if it was fried  in fat and meat moistened as it should be with your fantomatic fat atomizer???  Not even if it were a jet motor in it!  Am not talking much about certain banalities that here are considered trash food like french  fries or your beloved fish and chips, and bear in mind they come out fine according to you, I just know I could well tell you the difference if it was fried or baked-fried in that thing....because it simply can't be the same thing! Better or worse, to you,  am sorry this is  just not  like  frying in any ways!
But again if for you frying, means frying a coating then we are very far from what's real kitchen!

I got that you will not be possibly ever able to understand that it can't be   properly called frying  what that machine do.
Frying in my house it's another thing! And I told you why.
Now it may get close for some foods like  french fries, get them crispy like your  or any oven  on this planet ever did,  it can  even make them tastier for you, all the hell you want, but what happens in a pan or deep fryer  during a proper frying operation,  can't happen in that thing the same way...better or worse tasting, looking whetever it may be considered.

Just like you can't  properly call boiled something that instead has been steamed,  even though apparently looks like boiled ... it always changes something in the way you cook food and each way has it's own name, and  for some foods,  it change and matters way  more than  for others.

The air fryer arrived today and I was anxious to try it out so I made French fries. They turned out very well and tasted just as good as those made in a deep fryer. They do take longer to make as the potatoes have to be soaked in water for 30 minutes, then patted dry and sprinkled with 1/2 tbsp of olive oil. They are then cooked for 30 minutes. There was very little to clean up so a lot less messy than a deep fryer. Not quite sure where I will store it however as it won't fit in my cupboards and I don't have room for it on my counters.

Sounds interesting, but the time involved for fries is a deal killer for me.  I just dump mine in the deep fryer and have great fries in 5 minutes.  After reading this thread I was considering one, but not now.

 

I find the fries do not absorb that much oil.  I have a line in my fryer that indicates fill level and after doing a batch of fries it is hardly any different.  I don't make fries all that often but like them crisp when I do make them.
 
Gary you don't have to soak your potatoes at all. Just a rinse and pat dry as one would do for normal frying is just as fine when you fry them in the philips. Try it and see no diffrrence. The soak relates to washing starch out and keeping them from going brown.
