Amazing! Perfect results every time.

published

Ive used my air fryer with multiple food types and Im consistently amazed with the results. Whether its a pork roast, nuggets and chips or the amazing wings Ive been experimenting with they always come out cooked just right. The food retains the moisture and doesnt come out dry like if I were to cook it in a conventional oven.

I was such a skeptic, but we have made loads of dishes in our airfryer and it just keeps impressing!
so quick and easy - pretty much set and forget and food comes out perfectly every time!
would highly recommend to friends and family (or anyone who will listen!)

Smart cooking technology with great results

The Philips XXL Airfryer is a healthier way of cooking. We can fry, bake and grill with minimal oil. The smart technology makes it easy to use. It's also easy to clean.

I’m never using my oven again

published

The Philips XXL smart Airfryer uses hot air to fry and cook your favourite foods with little or no added oil . You can make meals for the whole family . It can cook a 1.8kg whole chicken, frozen or handcut chips to serve six, pork belly that is so crispy and I even have cooked the most perfect salmon using the smart tech to decide long to cook it for .quick clean basket with most pieces being able to go into the dishwasher . Highly recommend and will be buying the baking dish add on to bake bread .

Fast, simple and intuitive

published

This airfryer is quick and easy to use. The smart settings are intuitive and work well, and the ability to set your own timer manually is useful too. It’s quite a bulky unit and makes a lot of noise when it’s on, which is one of the only downsides to what is a quite useful appliance.

My new favourite way to cook!

published

I’m absolutely in love with our new air fryer. I had heard amazing things about them and was excited to try it out. I can’t believe true ease of use and how quick food cooks, the home made fries and chicken drumsticks were a huge hit with the whole family and cooking is now enjoyable again!

Love how big it is and how much fits in it (you can fit a whole chicken and more). Very easy to use and makes cooking a breeze, especially if you are not a confident cook

New fave kitchen appliance

This is my very first airfryer and I’m really pleased with it so far! I’ve used it to cook potato fries, roast veggies, mock meats, even roast my bagels and it’s been super easy to figure out the controls. It’s made cooking at home so enjoyable!

do you need any oil at all or can it cook entirely without oil?

generally about a tablespoon of oil.
I use Australian Olive Oil from Mount Zero Olives in South Australia

Natalie

You do need oil otherwise it tastes blah. Only a small amount though. The best for you is avocado oil but it's $xx pricey.

Philips
Philips S.Philips

Hi Christie, thank you for your question. We recommend using a small amount of oil when using your Airfryer. You can use any kind of grilling/baking/roasting or frying oilr. You can also use animal fat.

Note: Please do not use cold-pressed oil as it burns at high temperatures.

If you want to add oil to your food, you need to add it to the ingredients before you start air frying. Do not add oil into the Airfryer itself.

If you have any further questions, you can reach our product team directly on 1300 363 391 (Australia), or 0800 658 224 (New Zealand) from Mondays to Saturdays: 7:00 am - 7:00 pm EST. They'll be happy to help.

Kind Regards
The Philips Australia Team
