I personally prefer deep fryers.
For your body. Air.
For taste. Oil.
Better how? Obviously air fried uses less oil, which may affect the taste negatively. But deep fried food is not healthy if you eat too much of it.
No oil in air fryers
I think you are still supposed to use some oil, isn't it?
@Make it so: nope in the old teal version yes but the Philips and newer ones it's just a mini oven just cycles air around faster
has to do with surface contact and heat conduction, air doesn't conduct heat as well as oil does.
If you want healthy (no oil) air fryer if you want the oil taste deep fryer
I have this exact fryer. Its good easy to use and its nice to be able to lift all the gunk out from time to time. This is a great price.
How do you work the oil in practical terms? Do you use it and then throw out 2 litres of oil or do you keep the oil in there? How often do you deep fry food?
You lift out the element control panel part. Then slowly lift out the filter tray with all the gunk on it. Then rinse the tray in hot water and put it back in. You lose maybe 250ml of oil. I only do this if i can see gunk or its been a while.
I use rice bran oil.
I have kids so it gets used at least once a week for nuggets and chips.
I have this. I personally find the filter useless and I end up simply replacing all the oil, which is cheap enough anyway.
Deep fried tastes waaaay better than air fried, and I have both. Air fryers are more convenient to use though and much healthier
With air fryers, if you're doing chips you're just loading up on carbs without the fat to fill you up.
Stick something like http://www.peerlessfoods.com.au/catalogue/5429/frytol-20-kg in and never look back.
Best oil for frying (all the good crispy chips are cooked in this stuff!!)
Someone could organise some group buys in each state to get a few 20l tins a share it out!!
Mmmm, fried food.
Yeah, when-ever I oven fry chips they always come out soggy.
With the air fryer they are crispy every time. And you can keep going for extra minute or 2 to get the level of crispiness perfect.
So, like an oven?
That's an oxymoron. The two words "oven" and "fries" should never be allowed in the same room together…
Chipped potato in hot fat = real chips.
Everything else is just trying to be as good. Give up already!!!
frytol is animal fat, probably beef which has a high smoke point …. get some statins if you use this stuff.
Try ricebran oil, very low in saturated fat, and doesn't gum up like canola oil.
+1 Rice bran oil. Started deep frying with it recently, and will never go back.
Vegetable oil (rice bran or not) is no substitute for animal fat. Not for health, and not for flavour.
Tried rice bran oil.. Ok crisp, horrid after stench in kitchen/house. Is still vegetable oil, and not healthy in my opinion.
Food is the stuff my great grandmother could make and recognise. That other stuff like vegetable oil and margarine etc is "food like product" and not something I'd ever consider healthy.
Imagine your great grandmother making any vegetable oil.. not an easy task - not something humans have evolved to consume and not something that modern research would suggest is good for you.
Was about to pull the trigger on this, but a quick check of reviews don't fair well: https://www.productreview.com.au/p/tefal-filtra-pro.html
Seems that despite the specifications quoting 160c max temperature, a number can't get over 140c.
For crispy food, you really want 160 - 190c.
Was looking forward to a fryer with a filter, but some reviews claim it only gets the big bits out and the smaller bits remain. It's the small bits that are hard to filter and the bits that ruin the oil. Seems like a failed feature :(
yep, blanch at 160c if food is and crisp at 180c if food is par cooked e.g frozen chips ….
Got one, thanks op👌
Not showing $58 for me??
What's better? Deep fryer or Air Fryers??
