An air fryer can be compared to a small(er) convection oven, but it blows warm air around much faster and is therefore cheaper.

Because some air fryers have an internet connection and app, we tested one, the HD9880/90 from the Philips Airfryer Combi XXL Connected 7000 Series. XXL and therefore quite large (WxDxH: 335 x 351 x 443 mm), quite heavy (9.4 kg) but with a capacity of 8.3 liters! This beautiful black air fryer has a nice bright color screen on the front, a large button on the right and an L-shaped handle underneath to easily remove the large drawer, the internal parts of which are dishwasher safe.
Preparing food is a breeze thanks to the automatic programs and the large capacity for more than 4 people. A nice plus is that the air circulation has two settings: in addition to ‘normal’ baking, you can also use the (quieter) fan to cook food slowly. Another great plus: you can prepare several dishes at the same time in the air fryer, such as potatoes, meat and vegetables. And thanks to the included meat thermometer you get a tasty piece of meat. In any case, I think food from an air fryer tastes better because it has less fat.
And preparing with this air fryer becomes even easier by connecting it to the user-friendly NutriU app via WiFi. You will be guided step-by-step through many recipes for more than 20 preparation methods, with handy search functions and nice suggestions.
