I am very happy with the Cosori Air Fryer. It's the perfect size for the two of us. I like the fact there's very little oil being used - that helps with cooking a bit healthier ruclips.net/user/postUgkxD4Qeo-HRLxMfom_PDinM_SBfes00qJsB for the two of us. The biggest tip is do not put parchment paper - the pre-cuts are very nice - in the basket during the pre-heat setting. You will catch it on fire. Also use Avocado Oil if you're using oil. It has a high smoke point to it. RUclips has been great with finding recipes for the Air Fryer.
Nice review, but I would have liked to see the cooking results without boiling the potatoes first. If I'm gonna fork out 175 dollars for an airfryer I want it to be able to cook the potatoes raw.
Jack Brazier i don't think you have to boil them, I have put frozen French fries from the bag in mine and they came out golden and crunchy like I fried them I was amazed
I have two different air fryers, and I love them. The two I have cost way less than the Phillips brand, so there are cheaper ones out there. "Fried" chicken comes out crispy and tastes even better than deep fried chicken. The inside is juicy, the outside is moist. I also make fries in mine, but I have never boiled the potatoes first. I just cut them, blot them dry, toss them in a bowl with a little olive oil, paprika, salt and pepper and mix lightly. They come out tender on the inside and crunchy on the outside and taste way better than deep fried ones. BTW, this was the first video of yours that I have watched, but it won't be the last. Great job.
For anyone who cooks, a major consideration on these cooking machines/utensils would be how easy they are to clean. You might want to touch on that in the future.
I have a Todo model air fryer. It is absolutely so easy to clean and I was most impressed at just how quickly it cooks meat. I can cook chicken for dinner faster in this than it takes my rice cooker to make the rice! Stir fry takes 15 minutes, chicken in 30. Lovely! Doesn't heat up my kitchen in the summer time for 3 hours! Worth every penny!
YESSSS!! It's the best thing ever!!! I use it for almost everything!! Bacon, burgers, sweet potatoes, veggies and so much more!!! I only paid $99 for mine. BTW...i answered before even watching the video!!! I love your channel!!!
Since you have to boil them first and cool couldn't you do the same thing in the oven but instead of baking them use the broiler to crisp up the outside?
Thank you fitman! I just purchased one from Kohl's last night for my mother in law who loves to fry everything but needs to cook in a healthier way. Appreciate the video
The two things I don't care for (we have one) is the lengthy prep time etc and the size of the inside. I have a family of 5 so I have to do that lengthy process several times to make enough food.
looks like my parents wasted their money. smt the thing is huge and we don't have teh bloody space in my small kitchen. they keep making me want to move out more and more. we're a family of 3, we don't eat a lot of fried food, and I'm trying to be healthy so I plan to do that even less. they are sold you can cook near damn anything in there, and they better be right.
I cook for 2 elderly people who love "old school" fried foods. One of them owned a Philips air fryer but had never used it, so I was free to try it without the expense of buying one myself. WOW!! I LOVE it! One of my favorite treats is fried chicken skin. Raw chicken skin rinsed and dried with paper towels, a sprinkling of salt and pepper, then dredged in flour. Into the air fryer at 390 degrees for about 10 minutes, turning over at least once. The skins turn out delightfully crisp and tasty. What a treat! I save the chicken fat at the bottom of the fryer, refrigerate it in a clean glass jar, and use it here and there in different recipes.
I got the Big Boss Air Fryer and it was $75 on Amazon, it is made of real thick glass and you can actually see the food cooking. I have made fries in it, buffalo chicken strips, and roasted veggies and meats. I use it as a fryer and as an oven. I love mine because I dont have a full size kitchen here in my kitchen studio so its perfect as a fryer and an oven.
I too own the Big Boss and highly recommend it.. I love how the lid turns over and sits inside the bowl so its easier to store.. I've cooked steaks, burgers, fries, roasted pork and beef and whole chickens in it.. it always turns out great food.. I even do biscuits but they have to be flipped over for the bottoms to brown.. well worth it tho for the taste and speed.
I am cooking up a storm in it since I got it lol. All of my new recipe videos have been air fryer recipes. I am obsessed with it and the fact that I can watch the food cooking.
Thug Thanos Not so much consuming less calories, but eating foods that I would not eat before because of all the fat. For example, I would never really eat fries because if you eat them out, not only are they loaded with fat, but loaded with the worst artery clogging inflammatory fat their is, hydrogenated oil. I can have chicken wings also with out the added grease and calories. I have over 13 recipes on my channel that I made with it that I can enjoy from time to time with out the guilt trip.
The point of the "air fryer" is to "fry". Hence the "fryer" in "air fryer" . What did you think it did? You thought it planted, grow , rinse and wash, slice, season and serve them on fancy French perle dinnerware?
Hey man I made some meal prep for breakfast and lunch this week: Healthy Shepards Pie and High Protein Breakfast casserole. Loved them and actually saved money at the grocery store. Keep up the good work my brotha.
I bought this air fryer last week with my girlfriend. We love it! I used red potatoes for the air fryer. I sliced them up into wedges and let them soak in water for 20 minutes. Took them out dried them off a little bit of olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic powder. They came out amazing! No need to boil them. They always come out golden brown with a nice crisp.
I was able to get the same results in a toaster oven on the conventional setting & my toaster oven only cost me $35 not $175 so I would recommend saving your money.
I bought my air fryer for 89 Canadian dollars, I bet you can get the same model in the States for 60- 70$. It's more convenient than a toaster oven, my chicken is perfect every time, homemade sweat potato fries, etc.
Kevin I had it for more than a year. I like it but I'm not madly in love. The only downside I can think of is it's too small to do meal prep on. I know people here in my community who are religious about their air firers!! I've even seen instigram and snapchat accounts dedicated for airfry recipes and how to take care of the machine. To me it's a real time saver, I find it way more faster than the oven. I always do burgers and french fires in it, yah not the healthiest but much better than take out!
I love mine, I season unbreaded chicken wings, spray them with pam and throw them in there, half way thru I give them a toss to evenly distribute but they always come out perfect!!!
I bought an air fryer 2 weeks ago and I use it every day. I love it. I normally do party wings with seasoning and coconut oil for about 20 minutes and it's amazing
My fried battered chicken takes 30 minutes to cook. One hour seems extreme. I have cooked thighs, legs, and wings comes out perfect everytime. I love the air fryer. I have a cooks essentials off qvc well worth yhe money!!
Sir, you can get LF - 7615 Electric Air Fryer for $39.99 with this coupon: BKFDLF, www.gearbest.com/cooker-steamer/pp_623368.html?lkid=12025956， enjoy!
I have the Nu Wave Brio and just love it. I paid $99 for it with free shipping about a year ago and find myself using it all the time. The food is consistently uniform and good.
My aunt brought me an air fryer when I started loosing weight! LOL! I've never used it. Great video by the way, I liked how you cooked a meal they suggested.
We just got an air fryer and in experimenting phase. We appreciate the videos. Have cooked fries and chicken wings. The fries are not the same as deep fried, but love them just the same. The chicken wings we believe are better than deep fried.Fro researching different recipes we have noticed great differences in cook temps and times. Quite eager to see this device perfected, lots of potential. We did wings at 360 for 30 min with dry rub with coconut oil, just a little. The skins were very crispy and the meat was juicy, no flour or batter. No way to replicate in a regular oven .
I have one and love it! I mainly use it for when i bulk (which is 95% of the time) to have high carb, high protein, low fat foods. Please please include some awesome recipes with this thing!!
I bought the Cuisinart TOA-60 Air Fryer. The reason I bought this was because its much more compact than most of the bigger units out there, Its stainless so it goes with all my other appliances and it game me a 3 year warranty unlike others that gave 90 days up to 1 to 2 years. I do not eat meat so I didnt need a big bulky one like the one in the video. I have cooked potatoes in my air fryer without having to boil first. It also does a lot more than just air dry: 7 functions including air fry, convection bake, convection broil, bake, broil, warm, and toast Allow you to choose between the bake, toast, broil, and more oven features
Let me burst some bubbles on this price point. I just bought this exact unit at my local Salvation Army for 7.99 us. Never buy these products new because many of them wind up at yard sales and thrift stores on the cheap
Thomas Just nooooo!!!! I have an air fryer and it is literally my favorite thing EVER. fries come out perfect and it’s so much better for you. I recommend it to everyone. My grandparents bought one and love it too. You can make anything in it, this review didn’t do it justice. Also, no need for the fancy $200 shit. Mine was like $75 and it’s perfect. If you’re even remotely health conscious, then this is the way to go 100%. Can’t recommend enough.
I have a air fryer and I love it! I don't typically like fried food but because I use healthy oil it makes it that much better. I fry shiitake mushrooms with a tiny bit of olive oil and sea salt and they are Amazing! I also fry cauliflower and its so so good. I would definitely buy it again.
First of all ! you don't need to boil the potatoes first ! I make them all the time with a little Olive oil in my air fryer. They take about 20to30 minutes at 375. second of all ! I bought a farberware air fryer at Walmart for 80 bucks! It's awesome! I cook everything in it! great deal! I've had it for a year! no problems.
Thanks to your video I confidently buy 2 of them today. Where I live counter top deep fat fryers are out of stock and the air fryers are in abundance. Was very sceptical about getting one. You're a big help. I'm actually getting the healthier alternative and I don't have to figure out how to get rid of all that oil now. Yayyyyyy
I haven't looked at the comments, but if you had prepped the oven baked ones the same way as the air fryer, I'm pretty confident they would have turned out identical.
If you boil them first and have a baking sheet ready they will come out the exact same. You don't even have to wait for them to cool. Just boil them until soft but still firm and place them in the oven at 415 and bake for 30.
I have the Faberware Airfryer and it's great. I make fish & chips often when I need a quick meal. Air fried chicken tenders are great as well. I even do kale chips and plantain chips. All of these made with NO oil, only cooking spray which has 0 calories and 0 fat, and the food still maintains the great taste, moisture, and crispiness.
I love my airfryer as you Can also Cook the best chickenbreast straight from the freezer And it does not get dry Or tough! Just super tender inside plus a crispy skin without even thawing beforehand. Also Pupkin wedges without preboiling get supercrispy (And crispy tempeh... And...And...😋
Hi Kev I love my Phillips airfryer. I paid over $250 NZD for mine and it isn't the large one so $179 sounds ok to me. Pork belly cooks perfectly Low carb buffalo wings cook quickly too Great time saver
i never boil the potatoes but i do after I cut them put them in salt water with a bit of white vinegar in cold water to get the starchs out. 2 washes you get clear water. drain and cook
Looking into buying an air fryer, so your review was helpful. I'm not sold enough to pull the trigger for almost $200. I'm going to find a cheaper one... your vid was a good into to the world of air frying tho. Thanks!
Thank you for the video. I brought the nu wave air fryer because I was trying it out. I absolutely love it. I've brought the 3.7 quart but now I am looking into the Phillips 6- 10 quart. After this video, I will definitely buy the Phillips
Hey Kev great review on this air fryer I've been looking at them in the stores But didn't know too much about them or which one to get ? this Philips airfryer looks pretty cool the price I think a little too high but in the long run I think it's a much better and healthier way to eat I have a Q&A so say I want to fry up some veggies cauliflower zucchini Exedra but wanted to chicken wings also do I have to dump that oil and wash out the container and put new oil in it ??? I know I know I know it's a silly question lol but had to ask P.S. I think as far as boiling the potatoes then letting them cool down yeah I might seem like a lot of work but for me I do prep meals so I think the night before well I'm cleaning up the kitchen after dinner I will just boil the potatoes throw them in the fridge for the next day them put them in the Phillips air fryer just a thought lol Hugs & Love xoxox
Nice job on the comparison, sir! I've always wanted to see one of these in action. Thanks! FYI: Fries [that are good] are usually a "double-cooked" item. That's how the fast food folks do them, as well. (The vendor provides the 1st cook, then freezes them.) That said, a more even comparison would have been to boil and refrigerate ALL of the fries, then bake half of them in the oven and cook the other half in the air fryer. And, you can probably save time in the future on this recipe by boiling the potatoes a day before you plan on frying them. Now your "day of" prep time is about 10 minutes!
I love this. You always have something good for me. My brother in-law has an air fryer that he never uses. I think i will borrow his forever because i can really use it.
The reason the recipe calls for boiling then cooling after in the beginning is refered to as blanching. Its what gives fries their texture. You could just throw them in there and cook them without blanhing, but no matter how you cook fries, the boiling and cooling first to blanch makes a huge difference.
Fries and wedges are always better when made from pre-cooked (boiled or steamed) potatoes - regardless of whether you're finishing them in a deep fryer, or oven (including convection ovens like the air fryer.) As per the air-fryer recipe, cool the pre-cooked potatoes down then slice them, then bake/fry them. The center gets creamy, like you mentioned, and the outside gets crisper. I'd be interested in what you think if you used the same starting point for both machines (oven/fryer).
Did the recipe ask for oil in the potatoes? You stated that you were going to be carefully placing the potatoes in the air fryer making sure you don't get the oil in the air fryer. So do you still use oil in the air fryer?
We just got one with my wife today. My wife made some chicken wings and they were good. She did not use any of the provided recipes. She didn’t even open the book. She just made them how she normally does and we cooed them for about 15 minutes and 😮 wow!!! They were good. It’s amazing to see how much grease wings already have. I recommend getting it. Now, I’m not sure how we are gonna clean this.
Airfryers don't cook evenly. If they did, all the major fast food chains would switch to it as a way of being healthier. It won't give you the same taste as deep fried foods which use more oil.
yes, I was given an air fryer for Christmas, and I really enjoy my air fryer, I've cooked turkey wings with my air fryer, yum yum very delicious, I'm thinking about doing those potato wedges now😉
Isn't the purpose of not eating fried food to cut out excessive oils/calories? so what's the point of buying an air fryer if you still have to use oil.
Konna Deep frying uses a lot of oil. his method uses so little oil, you couldn't even gain weight from that. it was like a tsp for the entire pan of fries, versus cups of oil to deep fry.
Utado Ladii I mean.... a tblsp on healthy oils still won't make you gain weight. my weight has been the same for years too and I use oil. if you use a tsp of oil on a dish, that's like 1 calorie. lol you can't gain weight from that. it's excessive oil and unhealthy oils that makes you gain
Natalie Prather ok...i should also mentiomaif check on ur endothelial cells. oils are terrible for u....not just pure fats ur body doesn't need also ur cells arteries etc.
I might recommend trying to shock the potatoes in cold water after cutting them and testing that to eliminate the lengthy step of boiling and then cooling.
Great review, thank you. I was wondering if I prepared the potato wedges ahead of time (according to the recipe) and made a large bag of them to freeze, would they turn out the same? Frozen to air fried? I think this would save on the prep. time and make it possible for my daughter to enjoy them with the same ease as using a store bought bag of fries. Thanks in advance for your answer.
Bad review, this product is really worth it. You don't have to boil potatoes, it literally does the same job as an oven or deep fryer. Can't imagine me not having one
CarlyUTube not for fried chicken tenders and thing like that just have a healthy wash, seasoning and whole wheat flour and spray oil(0 calories). Tastes so much better eating air fried tenders than plan old chicken breast. It’s like having guilt free delicious chicken nuggets or tenders. Basically a dream come true.
maybe but i know that when mom got out the lard, yo' best be eatin'. I mean to say fried potatos and the like were so much better in the lard.....childhood!
I am very happy with the Cosori Air Fryer. It's the perfect size for the two of us. I like the fact there's very little oil being used - that helps with cooking a bit healthier ruclips.net/user/postUgkxD4Qeo-HRLxMfom_PDinM_SBfes00qJsB for the two of us. The biggest tip is do not put parchment paper - the pre-cuts are very nice - in the basket during the pre-heat setting. You will catch it on fire. Also use Avocado Oil if you're using oil. It has a high smoke point to it. RUclips has been great with finding recipes for the Air Fryer.
Nice review, but I would have liked to see the cooking results without boiling the potatoes first. If I'm gonna fork out 175 dollars for an airfryer I want it to be able to cook the potatoes raw.
Jack Brazier that's what I'm saying... too much of prep work
I hear frozen french fries come out perfect. Just a side note. So maybe frozen wedges will be faster (maybe not as healthy.)
Making your own potatoes in advance and freezing them might be a solid option.
Jack Brazier I air fry my potatoes all the time in my air fryer with out boiling first they come out great and I bought the NUwave for 99 dollars
Jack Brazier i don't think you have to boil them, I have put frozen French fries from the bag in mine and they came out golden and crunchy like I fried them I was amazed

Great job.
fulluvjoy what brand air fryers that u had use?
What brand do you have? I Can't afford most of the ones I see.
fulluvjoy can you give me the brand?
Which one you have
Bish what brand do u have?

Jemster I have one and it's easy and fast to pop out and hand wash, the one I have you can also dish wash the basket. Cleans up fast in no time.
The Philips air fryer is very easy to clean.
Jemster actually very easy just wash the basket in the sink
YESSSS!! It's the best thing ever!!! I use it for almost everything!! Bacon, burgers, sweet potatoes, veggies and so much more!!! I only paid $99 for mine. BTW...i answered before even watching the video!!! I love your channel!!!
Since you have to boil them first and cool couldn't you do the same thing in the oven but instead of baking them use the broiler to crisp up the outside?
yes this would've worked and it would've took the starch out of the potato, which also makes it taste better. :)
steveo9043 I microwave mine cool slice and air fry or baker the same as in the video
It's way healthier and tastier to boil, cool, and set them in the oven at 425 F for 15-20 minutes.
Thank you fitman! I just purchased one from Kohl's last night for my mother in law who loves to fry everything but needs to cook in a healthier way. Appreciate the video

Hey man I made some meal prep for breakfast and lunch this week: Healthy Shepards Pie and High Protein Breakfast casserole. Loved them and actually saved money at the grocery store. Keep up the good work my brotha.
Dylan I swear I was just online searching for recipes for this yesterday.. but gave up !
celyncapo me too.
Dylan are you saying you did the prep menus in the air fryer?
Dylan 😍😍😍😍
I bought this air fryer last week with my girlfriend. We love it! I used red potatoes for the air fryer. I sliced them up into wedges and let them soak in water for 20 minutes. Took them out dried them off a little bit of olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic powder. They came out amazing! No need to boil them. They always come out golden brown with a nice crisp.
i like how your review is factual instead of bias opinion, keep up the great videos!
I waned it so bad that my husband gave it to me for Mother's Day like 2 years ago and it's the best. I cook all my meals and my kids meals there.
I was able to get the same results in a toaster oven on the conventional setting & my toaster oven only cost me $35 not $175 so I would recommend saving your money.
These do more than just bake dude.
Joe Quintero BH
It’s pretty much a convection oven but easier and quicker and easier to clean than a toaster oven
You can also bake a pizza in a toaster oven.
I bought my air fryer for 89 Canadian dollars, I bet you can get the same model in the States for 60- 70$. It's more convenient than a toaster oven, my chicken is perfect every time, homemade sweat potato fries, etc.
I love my air fryer! The absolute best thing I've purchased this year.
Best thing ever, love my little GO WISE fryer. Steaks, fries, salmon with crispy skin, little veggie rolls, empanadas..Yummm!!
Kevin
I had it for more than a year. I like it but I'm not madly in love. The only downside I can think of is it's too small to do meal prep on.
I know people here in my community who are religious about their air firers!! I've even seen instigram and snapchat accounts dedicated for airfry recipes and how to take care of the machine.
To me it's a real time saver, I find it way more faster than the oven. I always do burgers and french fires in it, yah not the healthiest but much better than take out!
What's the difference between an Air fryer and say a NuWave oven?
I'm already triggered of the spelling of " Instagram "
No difference at all. They're both air fryers I think. I've only seen the Nu Wave air fryer not an oven
Ahmed Awami hold on you do burgers in it too
NuWave isn't JUST hot air.
I love mine, I season unbreaded chicken wings, spray them with pam and throw them in there, half way thru I give them a toss to evenly distribute but they always come out perfect!!!
I don't have this exact one, mine only cost $80 I think they do the same thing worth the price
Air Fryer is the real deal. I feel like I am doing a informercial everytime i talk about it. Goes nice with the George Foreman Grill.
I bought an air fryer 2 weeks ago and I use it every day. I love it. I normally do party wings with seasoning and coconut oil for about 20 minutes and it's amazing
I'd love to see more recipes using this - battered items etc!
Samantha Jane I have one... battered foods take a while to cook. I tried fried chicken, it took over a hour

sjwilson1079 hey stop telling people this secret. I buy a lot of this stuff at yard SALES NEW
What if they air fried some nuts. U never know
don't worry I won't bother...If want fries I will use oil..end of story

I have a air fryer and I love it! I don't typically like fried food but because I use healthy oil it makes it that much better. I fry shiitake mushrooms with a tiny bit of olive oil and sea salt and they are Amazing! I also fry cauliflower and its so so good. I would definitely buy it again.
I got a air fryer for Christmas and aint used the stove or microwave since
First of all ! you don't need to boil the potatoes first ! I make them all the time with a little Olive oil in my air fryer. They take about 20to30 minutes at 375. second of all ! I bought a farberware air fryer at Walmart for 80 bucks! It's awesome! I cook everything in it! great deal! I've had it for a year! no problems.
Aren't air fryers just countertop convection ovens? If you happen to have a fancier toaster oven or regular oven, this might be a duplicate purchase!
vanillishakez Thanks for your honest opinion.
Do you even know how it works? Lol
I was thinking the same thing, I'm not sure though..
It’s more contained so the heat is more centralized. But yea it’s a convection oven. No more no less

Thanks to your video I confidently buy 2 of them today. Where I live counter top deep fat fryers are out of stock and the air fryers are in abundance. Was very sceptical about getting one. You're a big help. I'm actually getting the healthier alternative and I don't have to figure out how to get rid of all that oil now. Yayyyyyy
Wow! that's a lot to pay for a unit that requires you to boil potatoes before air frying.
hunchovb but is healthier
No you don't.
Don't have to but it creates a different texture
I don’t boil my potatoes before using it dab dab whip dab
No ive cooked many a raw potato in mine its fine
I haven't looked at the comments, but if you had prepped the oven baked ones the same way as the air fryer, I'm pretty confident they would have turned out identical.
You gave a very professional and helpful review. Thank you.
I moved to Puerto Rico and the fact that you have captions in español got me to sub.
If you boil them first and have a baking sheet ready they will come out the exact same. You don't even have to wait for them to cool.
Just boil them until soft but still firm and place them in the oven at 415 and bake for 30.
I think he did that for the test batch.
TheStallion234 no, he didn't, he says in the video the air fryer wedges were boiled first, the oven ones weren't.
Or microwave first.
I just bought a Toastmaster 2.5 liter air fryer at HereToday for $39.99. $79.99 at Walmart. Can’t wait to use it. Great review btw.
This was an excellent video, I love how detailed you are and I loved how honest you were about the prep required A++
I have the Faberware Airfryer and it's great. I make fish & chips often when I need a quick meal. Air fried chicken tenders are great as well. I even do kale chips and plantain chips. All of these made with NO oil, only cooking spray which has 0 calories and 0 fat, and the food still maintains the great taste, moisture, and crispiness.
I love my airfryer as you Can also Cook the best chickenbreast straight from the freezer And it does not get dry Or tough! Just super tender inside plus a crispy skin without even thawing beforehand. Also Pupkin wedges without preboiling get supercrispy (And crispy tempeh... And...And...😋
In my opinion it deserves million dollar all my food is made by this fryer i really recommend this fryer for everybody !!
Hi Kev I love my Phillips airfryer. I paid over $250 NZD for mine and it isn't the large one so $179 sounds ok to me. Pork belly cooks perfectly Low carb buffalo wings cook quickly too Great time saver
i never boil the potatoes but i do after I cut them put them in salt water with a bit of white vinegar in cold water to get the starchs out. 2 washes you get clear water. drain and cook
Great Video Kev! You should keep incorporating Kitchen Technology in your videos. I thought this was really dope.
Just your reaction alone at 4:42 has me sold.
Looking into buying an air fryer, so your review was helpful. I'm not sold enough to pull the trigger for almost $200. I'm going to find a cheaper one... your vid was a good into to the world of air frying tho. Thanks!
Thank you for the video. I brought the nu wave air fryer because I was trying it out. I absolutely love it. I've brought the 3.7 quart but now I am looking into the Phillips 6- 10 quart. After this video, I will definitely buy the Phillips
Hey Kev great review on this air fryer I've been looking at them in the stores But didn't know too much about them or which one to get ?
this Philips airfryer looks pretty cool the price I think a little too high but in the long run I think it's a much better and healthier way to eat
I have a Q&A so say I want to fry up some veggies cauliflower zucchini Exedra but wanted to chicken wings also do I have to dump that oil and wash out the container and put new oil in it ??? I know I know I know it's a silly question lol but had to ask
P.S. I think as far as boiling the potatoes then letting them cool down yeah I might seem like a lot of work but for me I do prep meals so I think the night before well I'm cleaning up the kitchen after dinner I will just boil the potatoes throw them in the fridge for the next day them put them in the Phillips air fryer
just a thought lol
Hugs & Love xoxox
I believe this product is a great investment, Phillips need to pay this man for this review...
pro tip buy the grill attachment
Nice job on the comparison, sir! I've always wanted to see one of these in action. Thanks!
FYI: Fries [that are good] are usually a "double-cooked" item. That's how the fast food folks do them, as well. (The vendor provides the 1st cook, then freezes them.) That said, a more even comparison would have been to boil and refrigerate ALL of the fries, then bake half of them in the oven and cook the other half in the air fryer.
And, you can probably save time in the future on this recipe by boiling the potatoes a day before you plan on frying them. Now your "day of" prep time is about 10 minutes!
iv got this fryer love it healthy food every time
I was skeptical, but I'm super into our air fryer. 8/10, definitely recommended.
Share more recipes with air fryer! I'm struggling with the air fryer bought :(
I love this. You always have something good for me. My brother in-law has an air fryer that he never uses. I think i will borrow his forever because i can really use it.
But how well does it cook Pizza Rolls?
Aperture 4.0 Great pizza rolls, frozen burritos, pot pies, etc.
Asking the real questions
All the frozen junk foods that you'd usually microwave taste 10 times better in the air fryer
The reason the recipe calls for boiling then cooling after in the beginning is refered to as blanching. Its what gives fries their texture. You could just throw them in there and cook them without blanhing, but no matter how you cook fries, the boiling and cooling first to blanch makes a huge difference.
Just that cooking time alone has turned me off from getting this product. I don't have an hour plus to cook some fries.
Qtipz123 is only 16 minutes with no oil. I think that save fats
Qtipz123 h

I cook fries in 10 mins. This review wasn’t really good tbh. Also don’t use Phillips it’s a waste of money
Fries and wedges are always better when made from pre-cooked (boiled or steamed) potatoes - regardless of whether you're finishing them in a deep fryer, or oven (including convection ovens like the air fryer.) As per the air-fryer recipe, cool the pre-cooked potatoes down then slice them, then bake/fry them. The center gets creamy, like you mentioned, and the outside gets crisper.
I'd be interested in what you think if you used the same starting point for both machines (oven/fryer).
Fit men do cook, it's true.
If you own a body, you should learn to cook. ✌️
I bought an air fryer a year and a half ago. Best purchase I ever made.
Love that you traslate all you can!
Thanks for being inclusive!
BOOM en español hermano!
I bought an air fryer a few months ago. Love it. They are fairly tiny but when all of us usually create our own meals, it's too big of a deal.
I would love to see you do the Instant Pot 😀
quixoticmantis I vote the Instant Pot as well! There is a massive Instant Pot community on FB!
Did the recipe ask for oil in the potatoes? You stated that you were going to be carefully placing the potatoes in the air fryer making sure you don't get the oil in the air fryer. So do you still use oil in the air fryer?
Awesome guy!!!
This is the first video i watch of this channel and i really appreciate the spanish text in it . Awesome job!
Can you do a meat in the air fryer to give another perspective please?
Stephanie yes
yes
Yeah I made fried shrimps in mine. Taste just like deep fried too and all I did was spray em with a little Pam
We just got one with my wife today. My wife made some chicken wings and they were good. She did not use any of the provided recipes. She didn’t even open the book. She just made them how she normally does and we cooed them for about 15 minutes and 😮 wow!!! They were good. It’s amazing to see how much grease wings already have. I recommend getting it. Now, I’m not sure how we are gonna clean this.
Airfryers don't cook evenly. If they did, all the major fast food chains would switch to it as a way of being healthier.
It won't give you the same taste as deep fried foods which use more oil.
You have gained a subscriber today like your charisma and your charm you seem really into your videos wish you the best
I so enjoy my air fryer. I will get the larger one (Philips Air Fryer XL) in the future!
yes, I was given an air fryer for Christmas, and I really enjoy my air fryer, I've cooked turkey wings with my air fryer, yum yum very delicious, I'm thinking about doing those potato wedges now😉
I love the product but hate the price.
i have an airfyer not the phillips but i love it! Easy clean up and such a healthier option.
That "BOOM!!!" never gets old for some reason lol
🅱️oom
Thanks for the review... Gastric Bypass and cant have fried foods but miss them sooooo much. I am going to give this a try. Thank you !!
Isn't the purpose of not eating fried food to cut out excessive oils/calories? so what's the point of buying an air fryer if you still have to use oil.
Konna Deep frying uses a lot of oil. his method uses so little oil, you couldn't even gain weight from that. it was like a tsp for the entire pan of fries, versus cups of oil to deep fry.
instead of a lot of oil, you use a little bit of oil.
Natalie Prather you will if u do it over your lifetime. I a. 100% oil free..my weight has stayed steady for over 2yrs.
Utado Ladii I mean.... a tblsp on healthy oils still won't make you gain weight. my weight has been the same for years too and I use oil. if you use a tsp of oil on a dish, that's like 1 calorie. lol you can't gain weight from that. it's excessive oil and unhealthy oils that makes you gain
Natalie Prather ok...i should also mentiomaif check on ur endothelial cells. oils are terrible for u....not just pure fats ur body doesn't need also ur cells arteries etc.
Outstanding preview but my convection oven already works magic for me. Thanks.
❤️ ur shirt
I might recommend trying to shock the potatoes in cold water after cutting them and testing that to eliminate the lengthy step of boiling and then cooling.
I got an air fryer for $8. How’s that for a boom factor 💥 💪🏾
Joe Wellin Dowd cock!
Great review, thank you. I was wondering if I prepared the potato wedges ahead of time (according to the recipe) and made a large bag of them to freeze, would they turn out the same? Frozen to air fried? I think this would save on the prep. time and make it possible for my daughter to enjoy them with the same ease as using a store bought bag of fries. Thanks in advance for your answer.
you got to cook them first then cook it in the air fryer.more work thumbs down....
To make the tests equal, you need to prep them both the same way! You should've pre cooked the one in the oven.
lmao you read my mind, I've been debating getting one for a few weeks and then this pops up in my notifications
I would liked to see something like chicken...way to much money for a. Gadget
Your review was very informative! I'm curious as to whether it was easy to clean especially if meat is involved?
Bad review, this product is really worth it. You don't have to boil potatoes, it literally does the same job as an oven or deep fryer. Can't imagine me not having one
One of the best reviews I've seen in a while. Thanks.
I made some air fried ice cream last week.
W e s how? receipe??
W e s jj
can you use it as a safe alternative to microwaving? like defrosting ? and just heating up leftovers?
Too much extra work!
CarlyUTube not for fried chicken tenders and thing like that just have a healthy wash, seasoning and whole wheat flour and spray oil(0 calories). Tastes so much better eating air fried tenders than plan old chicken breast. It’s like having guilt free delicious chicken nuggets or tenders. Basically a dream come true.
Love how original you are! You got the best ideas for new healthy recipes. Love your charisma and your shirts! xD
Healthy fats are good for u when not used in conjunction with carbs. Gimme all the lard baby!!!
Michelle Denise lard is unhealthy. #HeartHealth
maybe but i know that when mom got out the lard, yo' best be eatin'. I mean to say fried potatos and the like were so much better in the lard.....childhood!
Healthy fats don't come in a container.
Hi! Very good review, I buy the air fryer and I'm watching videos to see how it is used.
