Philips Kitchen Appliances Premium Digital Airfryer with Fat Removal Technology + Recipe Cookbook, 3 qt, Black, HD9741/99, X-Large

Saw this particular device being used by Tanya from “My Forking Life.” And while not one to fall into sales gimmicks. I researched what I was about to purchase. Admittedly, I’m much tougher than consumer reports. I was fairly impressed that this was a Phillips product and was rather awesome at fat removal. I’ve made panko shrimp that is absolutely great tasting simply following a recipe. And chicken. Controls are easy to use and clean up by hand washing rather easy too. And heck, fits into dishwasher quite well. Well engineered product! Learned to use “holed” parchment paper for even faster clean up. Sorry reservations are now needed at my place.

I have only had this air fryer for 2 weeks and have already cooked french fries, chicken, steak, zucchini fries, salmon, churros, and lumpia and everything has turned out amazing. It may run a little hot because I usually check the food 2 minutes before the recipe calls for and it’s already done. Easy to clean but there are about 4 parts to clean every time. Also many recipes call for 390 or 360 degrees but this model only offers the standard 25 degree increments (350, 375, 400 etc) so I use the closest lower temp. Finally, although I didn’t want a huge airfyer, I kind of wish I had bought the bigger one because the capacity of this one is for 1-2 people. I bought the accessory to create another tier but not much fits beneath it. Still, rating 5 stars because all the food turns out awesome.

I don't know much about air fryers, but what I have tried with this one has made me a fan. It does what it is designed to do. I have tried it with frozen food, reheating food and cooking fresh food from scratch and it has done very well.4/16/24: I am coming back to say that I am more of a fan than ever. This is easy to take care of, whether you hand wash or put it in the dishwasher. It continues to pleasantly surprise me with perfectly cooked food that would have needed more time and mess using tradition, cooking methods.

When my friend introduced me to airfryer, I have doubts about how it works or will it be dangerous to cook with it. Then on my birthday, she bought one for me as gift. I finally decided to try it. With her help for the first time, I found out it’s so easy to use and so easy to clean. I started using it every week. I make chicken wings, lamb chops ( I can’t stand lamb before. After I learned to marinate with cumin and other spices then airfry. They come out like lollipops.) Delicious! I don’t need to add any oil to both meats at all. I also put fish tofu in it. They come out to be a delicious appetizer, no seasoning needed at all. I also take raw cashew nuts to airfry for snack or sprinkle on salad or on Asian stir fry. I slice Japanese pumpkin add a little oil and salt then airfry it. Cauliflower is great in airfry too. Too many things you can do with it. I can’t go without this little appliance now.

What s marvelous way to prepare meals.Beef, fish, veggies come out perfectly cooked and moist at a fraction of the time.Any fat from cooking ends up at the bottom of the cooking basket for easy disposalThe cooking basket itself is dish washer safe.This make/model, I understand, has the largest capacity of the available brands.

This is a perfect air fryer for our kitchen. Replaced an older model that was too large and difficult to clean. This model is compact, attractive and very easy to clean. Large enough for our two person household. Easy to use and without too many bells and whistles so not too complicated. So a perfect addition to our kitchen.

After one use, I find this easy to use. However, the recipe book is poorly organized and does not have enough basic information/principles on air frying types of food, and does not offer complete meal recipes. I also wasted much too much time trying to use the 40% code offered for purchasing accessories if one registers only to eventually find after numerous calls that the discount code cannot be used at online retailers. It can only be used on the Philips online site where the accessory I wanted is out of stock for about four months.

I have been using products produced by Philips for decades. That is why I decided to buy a Philips air fryer. I was really happy to receive it this afternoon. However, when I was ready to cook fish after preheating, I could not open the fryer. Luckily, I decided to preheat instead of putting fish in the basket. Otherwise, the fish will stay inside the fryer forever. I was so disappointed by this first use and failure. I had to use the Philips online chat customer service. After an hour of chatting and sending photos, I was told they will get me a replacement. I said yes. But now I worry about what if I will receive another new product that will not work. Wait and see.
