Check title.
You're welcome.
I wonder if this oven makes the crust crispy.
Yes, it can.
Do these go to 250C at least?
I have a little electric pizza oven (masterpro) and I believe it goes over 300c and has a pizza stone. Doesn't quite hit the magic 400 mark, but the results are amazing
Yeah I feel like 230C isn't gonna cut it.
@Jackson: I believe that 230 with fan forced (air fryer) is equivalent to 250. Also more even (consistent) cooking, faster (by 25%) and drier heat.
@poohduck: Its a fan forced oven with more airflow, there's nothing else special about it. But yes it will cook faster and dry things quicker because of this.
@samfisher5986: so, you're trying to paraphrase what I said? You still managed to miss out that a lesser temperature is needed and it is more consistent heating.
@Jackson: Normal oven probably has 5 times the capacity to heat up so this will be quicker to get to temp, thus quicker to cook thus less electricity. Having said that a convection microwave would be better as the extra space to store it isn't necessary. Be good for camping is all I would buy it for.
@Geoff01: Saves wear and tear on Normal oven which is getting damn expensive to repair or replace and also is a much bigger pain to clean. I'm skeptical that the normal oven heats up quicker for less energy. The selling point on the smaller devices is they cook more quickly because of smaller space to heat to correct temp. And smaller space to heat is less energy per the standard scientific equation.
So, it's an oven?
Good luck fitting a roast in it.
Portugese chicken!
All air friers are….
Well it technically bakes food, not fries it, but yes.
Toaster oven with fan, now known as Air Fryer by the clever re-labellers at Phillips.
Oh boy… You can't say that stuff here mate it's blasphemy!!! I learnt that the hard way when I said so it's a fan forced oven once…. 😱
Yeah I don't see the point. I owned a toaster oven similar to this thing (only with more height obviously). What a pain in the neck it was to clean. May as well get that Breville one (I think it is) that was designed for pizza. Or one of these and do multiple things with it (and multiple pizzas at once too if you want with extra racks people have lying around from their microwave: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/397064.
I didn't think there was any hope it would do good pork, but boy was I wrong. I've been roasting pork in one and finally getting great crackle ALL OVER. A few days ago I did a tray of those "southern popcorn chicken" things from Colesworths, and last night a packet of 6x "premium" sausages from Coles that were marked down to $1.50 from something ridiculous like $10. I've also done soy/honey chicken drumsticks, chicken nuggets, fish, it will do cakes too - in other words all the same things an oven does only much easier to clean. Especially as I only clean it after several uses.
Yes, I have one of those Glass bowl oven thingies, they are definitely the go to for a pork roast. If I had to pick just one appliance that would probably be it as can do the same job as these air fryer/toaster oven things but will also manage much larger items and does a better job with things normally baked. If I was installing a new kitchen I would now skip the expensive wall oven and just get one or those instead. The drawer type air fryers are pretty good and quick for the small jobs though.
this is the perfect solution, my deep fried pizzas were starting to ruin my figure
But pizzas are round…. And so is my figure…
People keep forgetting that round is still a shape. So you're still in shape. Don't let other people dictate what your shape should be!
Pretend you can sing (between wheezing), pay some hack to string together some canned tracks on a synth, wear underwear 6x sizes too small - and give Hipp… um, I mean… Lizzo a run for her money.
It's very…thin… probably no good for regular roasts
Have some hot, soapy water ready and when you're done, (& oven cooled), unplug and wipe all surfaces/clean racks. Every, single time. It takes only a few minutes and keeps it clean & long-lasting. FYI
Why do Coles insist on copying Aldi?
They reduce the range of regular grocery items to make way for all these crappy so-called "special" deals. And they also stop selling certain grocery items and replace them with "coles" branded stuff.
And worst of all, they make the checkouts different and expect shoppers to help with packing their own shopping. Except when they're expecting you to scan and pack the entire trolley full.
They should be selling these pizza ovens in KMart instead, that's what KMart is for. Coles is for your weekly groceries.
They probably don't want people going to Aldi for junk like this, trying their food, so start shopping less at Coles.
All these "special buys" (ColesWorths appliances) get drastically marked down after a few weeks. Woolworths had a small white ceramic fan heater a few weeks ago for some crazy price like $60 or $100 - I forget now… but I bought the exact same one last year from them for just $5 when winter was about to end. I bet this thing will go down to about $15 if they sit unsold another week.
Edit: Actually I wouldn't be surprised if the manufacturer contacts them… "Hello, Coles? Aldi ordered us 7500 pizza ovens. Deliver be on late July. You want order many too?" (Surely Coles couldn't get them ordered, made, and shipped here fast enough just by following Aldi catalogues.)
They'll slap the words 'air fryer' on anything that heats up air to cook these days.
which coles have it though in which states?
doesnt' look to be on coles online. So they expect you to go to a physical store lol no thank you. haven't been to a coles phycially in 2 years don't intend to start now.
this seems to be 1700W to heat 15 Litres or about 110 Watts per litre
a typical freestanding floor stove oven might be 2500-5000, average 3000W to heat 45-70 litres
my 900W 1.5 litre Anko/KMart air fryer looks like about 600 Watts per litre - so it really fast to heat up
if my freestanding oven is 5000 Watts for 70 litres or about 70 watts per litre, then that suggests the air fryer would be quicker to cook - but !
I tried cooking frozen chips in my 900W 1.5 litre Anko/KMart air fryer - https://www.kmart.com.au/wcsstore/Kmart/pdfs/42854821_Manual…
and they were still not done after 25 mins and tossing a few times - due to the crowding in the small basket
when milady popped a similar amount of frozen chips in our freestanding floor stove oven (spread out flat single layer on a baking tray - top shelf with griller element) they turned golden in 6 minutes
so we still use the big oven - it seems cooking time may be much faster with a red-hot griller element than a fan-forced baking element ?
Thought it would take at least 6 minutes to heat the oven space. Did she pre-heat?
The 1700W is a negative and also suspicious. That is because 1700watts is the maximum power output for 110V US appliances. It seems they can convert them easily to 240v because that 1700W comes up again and again in cheap kitchen appliances. Things like Ovens, Kettles, heaters etc can get up to 2200watts. Officially 2400watts should be possible but they must take into consideration losses in the cable or something
$89.00 at Coles Katoomba NSW at about 9.30 am 27.07.2022!
Floor stock now marked at $69 but scanning at $49 at Coles Katoomba — 2 left.
Any one bought one and used it? looking for some constructive feedback if it works well for frozen foods :)
