      Agree glass is safer so many products with harmful chemicals out there. However what is the point in the basket being made of glass when there are other components made of other toxic materials as it cant be 100% glass?

      • Lizard Spock on 27/07/2024 - 21:59

        As long as the non-stick Teflon isn't disintegrating into your food is it still considered unsafe, right?

        • Wickadz on 28/07/2024 - 00:37

          I thought there was certain gases released from the Teflon too that made it unsafe - overheating?

          • RolloTomasi on 28/07/2024 - 10:30

            @Wickadz: Yep, Teflon's harmless to ingest. The only time it's actually bad for you is when it's gassified and inhaled, which only happens above normal cooking temperatures.

            So if you're not using it above 260 degrees or so, even if it's flaking off, you'll be fine.

            Teflon is the lead paint of the cooking world.

        • spaceflight on 28/07/2024 - 19:16
          +2

          Yes it's considered safe

          PTFE/Teflon is chemically inert at temperatures below 260 degrees Celsius

          • skysurfer on 29/07/2024 - 00:58

            @spaceflight: Its not considered safe by me so you could edit your comment to say its considered safe by you ;-)

          • OzzyBrak on 29/07/2024 - 09:20

            @spaceflight: It’s the PFOS/PFOA in the product and not the actual PTFE is my understanding.

    • cloudie9 on 27/07/2024 - 22:15

      Don't think there is a plastic, other than the outer shell… other brand mostly metal on the inside if thats what u mean.

      My wife loves it, the glass bowl also makes checking on the cooking progress a breeze.

      We just got this one, also bought it for the glass to avoid plastic. Our first air fryer and it’s great. The glass basket and metal tray just go straight in the dishwasher when you’re done!

      Metal. I’m guessing stainless steel as we’ve run it through the dishwasher and still looks brand new

  • MeesusEff on 27/07/2024 - 22:36
    +1

    Looks good. Have an instant Vortex and the tray and basket itself has flaked. So annoying when we don't even put it in the dishwasher

    • TEER3X on 27/07/2024 - 23:24

      Did you use paper towels to clean it

      Or scrub daddy?

      • MeesusEff on 28/07/2024 - 00:53

        Nope, just soft sponge. Some of the basket was because the tray scraped against it so whatever guess it doesn't touch our food but was pretty annoyed about the tray. I emailed Instant to find out what the coating was, they didn't answer directly and just sent me another. Same thing happened so mmyeah hope it doesn't end up giving me cancer since we're still using it lol

        • TightLikeThisx on 28/07/2024 - 08:30

          I had an Instant Vortex Mini and this happened to me as well.

          I ended up getting this one and it is good except for the basket being heavier and the lack of warm up time. Also I suspect that the warm up time is greater due to the basket not being made of aluminum. The element takes a few minutes to click off.

  • Daddy Chill on 27/07/2024 - 23:20

    I was looking at this on Amazon. I want something more safer than plastic

    • hornbill on 28/07/2024 - 01:37

      Agreed, though usually it’s a non stick surface basket not plastic. I just wonder if the mesh in the glass bowl on this model also has the same nonstick coating anyway.

    • spaceflight on 28/07/2024 - 19:17

      Plastic is safer than glass as plastic will not shatter into sharp pieces.

      • skysurfer on 29/07/2024 - 01:05

        Plastic is so prevalent and persistent we all have toxic micro plastic contamination in our bodies now. Not just our stomachs, our blood and organs too. Heart surgeons have now looked for and found it in hearts. We all love the convenience and low cost of plastic but I dont think it's worth being poisoned.

    According to one review, it doesn't heat evenly and food gets burnt even if temperature is lowered.

      Potentially user error? Food does need to be rotated and setting applied for relevent food type.

    How different it is from
    https://www.mydeal.com.au/healthy-choice-electric-convection…? I am looking fo something which can be used as oven as well

    • WasBargain on 28/07/2024 - 02:19

      I can't remember price but didn't Aldi have something like this recently?

    • Russ on 28/07/2024 - 09:45
      +2

      How different it is

      That one looks like it's made from thin sheet steel. Similar ones I've seen before had the "door hinge" wear out after a couple of years.

      If your food spits while cooking, it's much easier to clean a glass bowl than to scrub the interior of that oven - you can put it in your sink and leave it soaking for hours, to soften food debris. If your food drops debris, like crumbed chicken, the glass bowl may be easier to clean out. And if something gets baked-on, it's easier to scrub off glass than off a metal pan.

      However, you may at some stage drop and smash the glass bowl, or the plastic handle could break off, so your steel one may last longer, depending on how clumsy your household members are and how durable the plastic parts of each type are.

      Airfryers are just mini ovens.

        I am wondering if I can use the 'Healthy Choice 6.5L Glass Digital Air Fryer' in all function like baking etc which covers all of the function and operation of this 'https://www.mydeal.com.au/healthy-choice-electric-convection-airfryer-23l-1700w-air-fryer-oven-bake-black-3862394' poor convention air fryer has some extra functions.

        • star-ggg on 30/07/2024 - 19:55

          Yes but the portion size you'll be baking will be tiny in the 6.5L. I would want to be sure I can get small enough baking pans to fit but still large enough to be worth the cooking effort. It would also take some experimentation with temperature and timing as the smaller capacity means the heating source is much close to the food.

  • Baghern on 28/07/2024 - 01:05

    Im curious, anyone know the basket dimensions ? Looks pretty big

    I believe Philips XXL is 21 x 21 cm

  • Deviner on 28/07/2024 - 01:38

    Just clarifying as it's hard to tell from the pics.
    Is there any room underneath the mesh here?
    Just thinking if you chucked food in, does the bottom get cooked or are you having to rotate the food for it to cook the bottom?

    Saw a comment above saying food needs rotating, but I don't see the point in a mesh if you still need to rotate?

    • Wolfenstein98k on 28/07/2024 - 07:12
      +1

      The mesh allows air to get under and the food to not just bake on and burn.

      You always need to turn because this is an oven, where the heat comes from the top. The highest food gets direct exposure to the heating element while the lowest food is insulated by all the other food, and the stuff in the middle doesn't get any air flow.

  • clippers on 28/07/2024 - 06:23

    I have one. It is a proper air fryer. The air exhaust holes are in the middle rear of unit.

    Have cooked salmon and roast pork belly (the cuts from Aldi fits perfectly), plus the usual frozen stuff. Glass is heavy, I can't flick chips mid-cook like with plastic basket - use tongs.

    There is room underneath the mesh. At the bottom of glass bowl, there is a raised step all around so the mesh sits on the step, leaving approx half cm space underneath.

    Mesh is stainless steel. Can buy square replacements easily from Amazon Temu etc.

    • Wolfenstein98k on 28/07/2024 - 07:14

      Coated stainless steel or pure? It looks black so it looks like it has nonstick on it

    • clippers on 28/07/2024 - 07:46
      +2

      It's typical stainless steel silver grey colour. Not non-stick.

      Cooked Aldi marinated drumsticks directly on mesh and bits did stick to the mesh. Easy off with dish brush.

      • R3XNebular on 28/07/2024 - 09:33

        I put the mesh through the dish washer. Usually 95% of the gunk comes off. Might be some stuff stuck which requires a flick

    • fookos on 28/07/2024 - 10:30

      Thanks. Does the air exhaust flow out being the unit horizontally or is the vent angled upwards?

      • clippers on 28/07/2024 - 14:58

        Air exhaust out horizontally

    • star-ggg on 28/07/2024 - 13:32

      What about the heat element? Does the glass bowl directly connect with the metal element?

      On my benchtop oven, the top is glass with the metal element integrated in the center.

      • clippers on 28/07/2024 - 15:07

        With the glass bowl inserted into the air fryer body, there is rubber lining in between the bowl rim and the black plastic housing. This forms a seal.

        There is actually another mesh (non removable) between the fan and heating element within the housing and the glass bowl. With a torch, you can see when this top mesh starts to get oil/gunk buildup and possible to do light maintenance cleaning.

  • Pistoll on 28/07/2024 - 08:48

    Good first air fryer? We're looking for one because we have a big oven and most of the time we're cooking small amounts so it's just overkill. Not sure on the two drawer options, size, brand etc.

          Anything with a plastic feel to the paper like coffee cups and "biodegradable" bowls has PFAS otherwise the oil and liquid would cause the structural integrity of the paper to fail.
