Title: Air Fryer temperature and times - general guidelines 1st List
Post by: courton on February 15, 2014, 03:09:10 am
Air fryer times and temperatures (general guidelines only).  See list 2 here (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=15397.0).

Meatballs
Foil on bottom.  200* for 8 mins. Roll over halfway to get even colour.

Salmon steak
10 mins on 140 and about 2 mins at 170 to get the golden exterior.

Chicken patties
180 degrees 10 minutes on one side, then flip them over for another 3 minutes for browning the patties.
Cookie1. I made Bron's nuggets and gave them 10 minutes @190. I put the EVOO with the breadcrumbs and didnt do flour, egg and crumbs. The crumbs stayed on well.

Steak (rump)
180 for 10 for rare; 15 mins for medium and 20 mins for well done

Gyoza
Baking sheet. Spray gyoza and then 200 for 20 mins turn after 10

Winter roast vegetables
200 for 20 mins - turn after 10

Thai fish cakes
Preheat the Airfryer to 180 degrees C.
Place 9 fish cakes into the basket and slide the basket into the Airfryer. Set the timer for 7 minutes and fry the fish cakes until the timer rings and they are golden brown.

Frozen Calamari rings
From Costco pre heated for 3 mins at 200o and then cooked for 6 minutes. Perfect!

Frozen shoe string french fries
Cooked frozen shoe string french fries in AF. Pre heat @200 for 3 mins and then cook for 10 mins @200 - shaken  half way. I sprayed with olive oil at beginning and half way point. Yum.



The above times are all from Courton. Please correct or add to it as you see fit.

From Wonder - Frozen arincini balls (approx 2.5cm diameter)
Spray lightly with olive oil, in tray on baking paper for 5 mins 200 then remove paper and cook further 5 mins at 200.
This gives them a brown outside and hot all the way through. This is with no pre heating of the machine.

Wonder Pork Belly
The pork belly turned out perfect and no mess.
I used Teninas recipe from the Christmas Ebook. I cooked as per Teninas recipe up to placing into the oven before work this morning then after work rubbed in some additional salt mix, oil and vinegar before putting in the airfryer at 160 for 30 mins then an additional 30 mins at 180. DH wasn't home so I left in the airfryer for about 15 mins then cooked a further 5 mins at 180 when we were ready to eat. All the skin was perfectly crunchy and the meat moist and full of flavour.

Wonder Apple Pastries
Sliced apple, sprinkle with brown sugar and encase in puff pastry.
From start to finish, 15 minutes.
Cook in a preheated 200o air fryer for 6 minutes.

Wonder Potato Wedges
Par cooked 5 large potatoes cut into 6 wedges for 10 minutes in the microwave, drained and patted dry then put in a container with oil, salt and lemon slices and left in the fridge for the day.
Into the airfryer for 15 mins 200 degrees and stirred twice as the drawer was quite full and I wanted them all to brown.

Wonder Homemade chips
I've been peeling and cutting into chips then soaking in water for about half an hour and rinsing until water is clear. Once soaked I then microwaved for about 10 minutes until partially cooked, emptied water and then dried on a tea towel before placing in the fridge for the day. When cooking I sprayed with oil and cooked at 200o for I think 10 mins or until crisp turning a few times to ensure they were all nicely browned. This method suits me because I can make them to the airfrying stage before work and then leave in the fridge drying out during the day. The type of potato does have a big impact on the final product.

Judy Sweet Chicken Drumsticks
Sweet chicken drumsticks 180o not preheated, for 30 minutes turning halfway then increased heat to 200o for 10 minutes.
Placed a casserole dish into the a/f, added the 6 skinned drumsticks and the following liquid.
125g pineapple juice
50g brown sugar
40g light soy sauce
Thickened the juice later with 1 tsp cornflour but would add it at the beginning to save time. They are delicious.

Judy Roasted Cauliflower florets
Mix together 1 tsp garlic powder, S & P and 1 tablespoon olive oil and pour over a good handful of small florets.  Cooked 15 minutes in preheated 180o in the metal baking dish.  Stirred 3 times during that time.

Judy Toasted sandwich
Buttered home-made bread on the outside, cheese and tomato on the inside and toasted directly on the wire basket 180o for 6 minutes.  Probably not necessary to turn but I did so at the 4 minute mark to make sure it was toasting evenly which it was. Lightly toasted but crisp and crunchy and so tasty.  Bought bread may cook faster so check as you go.

Judy Carrot & Zucchini Stuffed Mushrooms (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=14983.0)

Judy Potato casserole - 2 serves but can be increased depending on the size of your dish.
Grease a dish which will fit into the a/f basket. Par-cook 2 medium sized potatoes (300g total weight).  I cooked for 2.5 minutes in a 1200w microwave but you could par-boil them.  Cut into 1cm thick slices, slice 4 small spring onions.  Layer the potatoes and the onions in the prepared dish.  Mix 1 tsp garlic paste with 1 cup cream and pour over the potatoes.  Cover with alfoil and cook in a preheated 180o a/f for 15 minutes.  Remove alfoil, sprinkle a couple of tablespoons or more of tasty cheese on top and cook 5 minutes 200o.  If serving straightaway, rest the dish for 10 minutes to allow the potatoes to soak up any excess cream.  Reheats well.

Judy Astarra's filled sausages (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=11827.0) - if just assembled, 200o(not preheated) for 10 minutes on baking paper.  Longer if made ahead and been refrigerated.

Judy potato skins (http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/2248654/parmesan-potato-skins) & carrots
Microwaved a 280g potato for 5 minutes and a 130g carrot for 3 mins (1200 watt microwave).  Allowed to cool then cut the potato into 4 wedges and the carrot into 1 x 5 cm batons.  Removed all but 1 cm of flesh from the potato and coated the skins both sides in a mix of 3 tsp olive oil, pinch cayenne, 1/8 tsp paprika, 1/8th tsp salt and 3 tsp grated parmesan. Added the carrot and tossed it into the remaining coating.  Cooked the potato skins in a preheated 200o a/f for 15 minutes adding the carrot after the first 5 minutes.  I turned them once.

Judy Nutella Banana Pastries Makes 2 which when cut in half serves 4.
1 sheet puff pastry cut into 4 pieces.  Leaving a 1cm border, spread 2 pieces with Nutella and top with sliced banana.  Moisten the edges with egg wash and place another square on top.  Fork the edges to seal and using a pastry brush, egg wash the top.  Preheat air fryer to 200o then spray the wire basket with canola oil and place 1 square at a time into the basket.  Cook for 8 minutes, remove to a wire rack whilst cooking the second one.  Cut into triangles and serve with whipped cream.

Judy Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Dijon & Garlic (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=15221.0)

Jamberie Roast Chicken
What I did: I used a 1.4kg chicken (washed, dried and then rubbed a mix of lemon zest, 2 cloves of garlic, 2 tsp dried oregano, 2 tsp chilli flakes, 2 tsp dried coriander and 2 tbsp lemon infused olive oil all over the bird) and cooked it for 30minutes (including warm up) with a few cut up potatoes around the bird. At 30 minutes, the juices were running clear and I'm sure it would be fine, but I gave it an extra 10 minutes just to be sure it was cooked properly. Yum. If I use my airfryer for nothing else, it will be for roast chicken.

Jamberie Roasting tomatoes
I used the airfryer to 'roast' 2kg of tomatoes for MJ's passata (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=2193.0). I stirred them through some rosemary infused EVOO before dumping the whole lot in the AF for 15 mins at 180oC. It was handy as the tomatoes didn't cook/steep in their juice as it drained through underneath. After 15 mins I just tipped the tomatoes into the TMX and poured in the juice that had collected in the bottom too.

Chookie Coles Frozen Crumbed Fish Fillets   6 in packet.  200o/13 mins,  turned 1/2 way.
          
Chookie Lamb cutlets from butcher shop,  flattened and light crumb. 180o/ 8 mins/turned and cooked a further 5 mins/200o.
( I sprayed both sides with Rice Bran oil prior to baking) very good.

Chookie Garlic bread  3-1/2 slices.  200o/4 mins.  Crunchy both sides.

1/2 quantity of the mix, cut with MC. Placed in round SS baking tin. Pre heat to 200o, cook for 10 mins, flip and cook a further 2 mins.
I reheated small Date scones,  5 mins @ 200o.  1/2 nay nay recipe.  

Chookie Light sponge cakes
These are based on 'Quicker than a packet cake mix' (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=4426.0), 1/2 recipe.  I mixed in bowl with fork.
Preheat A/F to 160o, spray 3 coffee cups with canola oil and divide mixture between them.
Bake in preheated A/F at 160o for 10 minutes.
Cover cakes, ( I used pie tins not foil as it will not remain on cakes) then bake a further 5 minutes at 160o.
Note - I initially made 2 but 3 cups will fit and give a better size cake.
Could use any of the suggested flavorings from the Quicker than a packet cake link.
Further option - Into 3 well sprayed coffee cups place 1 dessertspoon of frozen mixed berries and 1 tablespoon of berry jam.
Pour sponge mix on top, bake as directed. Tip out on to serving plates and serve with cream, custard or ice cream.
I reheated the 3 in microwave for 30 seconds.

Chookie Astarra's Golden Chicken Nuggets (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=7800.0)
Made 2 versions & 19 patties from the mixture.
Cooked them in a stainless steel dish.  
1st version - no oil, cooked 8 minutes on 180o, turned then cooked 7 minutes 180o.
2nd version - coated with panko crumbs and sprayed with rice-bran oil.  Cooked 15 minutes 180o, turned then cooked 8 minutes 180o.

Chookie Chestnuts
 24 minutes on 200oC. I was waiting for them to go black but they didn't.  They were large chestnuts and perfectly cooked and easy to peel.

Chookie Tomato Charlotte
Made a small one in the AF.  Slices of onion , garlic, and tomato, topped with bread crumbs.  Baked for 20 mins/ 180o, covered with foil, then 10 mins/ 200o to brown top.  Good.

Good size for the airfryer. Baked at 140c. Got browning at the surface though. I should have checked it earlier than 30 mins, and covered with foil. Anyway the strawberry coulis managed to hide the spots.

BZB Toothfish cutlets This fish may also be sold as 'Sea Bass', 'Chilean Sea Bass' or 'Australian Sea Bass'.
I just scaled and cleaned the cutlets. Pat dry and drizzled with soya sauce. Placed in my new (and cute) baking dish. Preheated AF to 180oC. Cooked for 5 mins. Flipped over. Another 5 mins. Then finished off with 2 mins of 200oC.

Post by: achookwoman on February 18, 2014, 09:34:12 pm
Judy,  thanks for adding to Courton's great list.  Going to try bread rolls.  Unlike bread in SC will need to do a first rise as AF reaches temp quickly.

Have added the Pork Belly details as per your posting Wonder.  I made the seasoning ages ago and have a piece of pork belly in the freezer so one day, I'll try this method.  I couldn't believe you threw some of the crackling away  :o  I reheat mine in the toaster with one of those silicon toaster bags or you could make your own like this.

Love the recipe pdf Judy.  I've saved it for myself, can make some of them in my turbo oven.  Nice recipes.  :D

Post by: judydawn on February 19, 2014, 12:17:52 am
Thanks Julie, it's got a lot more in it than the latest booklet with the XL model.  I wonder if your turbo oven times and results are the same as what we do in the air fryer?  I guess if you use some of those recipes and the times stated, we will find out  ;)
Title: Re: Air Fryer temperature and times - general guidelines
Post by: JulieO on February 19, 2014, 12:38:58 am
No I wouldn't think so Judy.  It has instant heat but is a bit bigger than the Airfryer so would think it would take longer which isn't an issue though.

It's like an Easycook oven but smaller (have one of those too), so these are the 2 reasons I haven't buckled and bought an AF, though I have ordered a new Actifry (my other one bit the dust about a year ago).  I haven't made chips for so long as once you are used to them made with less oil it's very hard to go back to deep frying IYKWIM.  When I saw them on sale a few days ago at our local elec retailer, I ordered one (had sold out), should be in tomorrow. :)
Title: Re: Air Fryer temperature and times - general guidelines
Post by: judydawn on February 19, 2014, 12:42:42 am
It sounds as if you have everything covered there Julie ;D  I never made chips at home (sometimes wedges in the oven but rarely) so always looked forward to having chips when I ate out.  The other day, because I can now do low fat chips myself, I ordered a meal which didn't include chips.  My thinking changed immediately with the purchase of the air fryer, I don't order things when I'm out that I can easily cook myself at home.
Title: Re: Air Fryer temperature and times - general guidelines
Post by: JulieO on February 19, 2014, 01:04:16 am
Yep, totally agree with what you say.  We all seem to have most cooking methods covered these days.   ;D

Very rarely go out for a meal any more, only because we enjoy it much better at home.  Of course there are times (special occasions for e.g.) which is totally different.  :D

Post by: courton on February 19, 2014, 05:11:03 am
Thank you JD and Cookie. The list is starting to look as an easy reference guide that we can use when we want to use our own recipes on the Air Fryer.

Wonder's setting for sliced apple sprinkled with sugar in puff pastry was spot on :) Baked in Airfryer at 200C 6 mins, not including preheating.

Checking settings for roast chicken.

[My honey roasted chicken on 9-2-14]
A 1.3kg of free-range chicken marinated overnight with ginger juice, honey, soy sauce, white pepper and salt.
Roasted breast down 160C 15 mins, turned and roasted for another 10 mins. The wings and drumsticks were getting burnt. When I checked with meat thermometer, the chicken was not completely cooked yet.
So I flipped to breast down, then covered with foil. Increased temp to 180C 4 mins. Added another 5 mins, after checking that it was still undercooked.
Rested the chicken for half an hour. Turned out perfectly juicy. TOTAL 34mins

[Yvette on 24-2-14]
I first did 10 minutes at 200 then 20 minutes at 180 then I rested while I did potatoes then realised it wasn't cook so did another about 20 minutes I think it was a 1.6 kilo chook which was quite big. Skin was nice and crispy. TOTAL 50 mins

[Jamberie]
1.4kg with some roast potatoes. 40 mins. Not sure of temp.

Philips manual didn't give any suggestion for whole chicken. But for max of 7 drumsticks, they recommend 200C 10 mins then 150C 10 mins

Can't decide what to do with my upcoming 1.6kg roast chook. Will probably start at 200C 10 mins, drop to 150C 20 mins. Then go to 180C if the colour is not brown enough 10 mins.

Chook goes in breast down, no turning required.

Will try this over the weekend.

My notes for Chookie's KFC chicken: Drumsticks with skin on. 5 pcs. Place baking paper in basket. 200C 10 mins. Flip. 150C 5 mins. Remove baking paper. 5 mins. 160-180, depending on the colour of the chicken. 3 mins.

Made honey roast chicken (1.6kg) for dinner. BAD idea to start with 200C, 10 mins for a honey marinade. 80% of the skin at the top of the chook was burnt :( Had to cover with foil to continue the cooking.

After 30 mins of 150C, the chicken was still not completely cooked. Had to pop it back in for further cooking at 180C

Sigh. Will start with lower temp next time, and increase it at a later stage to get browning. It could be the honey that makes it more susceptible to burning.

Title: Re: Air Fryer temperature and times - general guidelines
Post by: Jamberie on March 06, 2014, 03:03:41 am
That looks delicious Judy!

@Hally, I think it was 200oC because I remember watching the Airfryer demo on TVSN and the presenter said that she almost always uses 200 for everything she cooks. I also watched the Phillips Youtube clip before I made the chicken and she seemed to use 200oC there too. Here's a link to the youtube clip for roast chicken:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HtDClsszFo
I did open the drawer to check and I think I also added a bit of foil to the breast to stop it browning too much....I'll have to make another one to be more precise!
Hope this helps :)

Jam, Judy has your instruction for roast chook on the first page.
Title: Re: Air Fryer temperature and times - general guidelines
Post by: BeezeeBee on March 06, 2014, 03:24:27 am
Jam, this is definitely a staged demo. 200c 35 mins would have blackened the chicken roast I made this week.

Looking forward to your own testing.
Title: Re: Air Fryer temperature and times - general guidelines
Post by: Jamberie on March 06, 2014, 03:30:43 am
Yes, I saw my chook method in the first section of the thread, but Hally had asked about the temperature so thought I'd look into it again :)

BZB, I'm puzzled as my chook wasn't blackened at all. I did cover with a very small amount of foil (only on the top of the chook) part way through. My marinade was different and chook was slightly smaller though.

I think I read somewhere to use soy sauce to get colour in the skin of an a/f chicken, honey would certainly caramelise much quicker.

I cooked pork belly last night and again perfect crackly.

This time I put it in the varoma tray and poured boiling water to open up the skin, bloated with paper towel to remove the excess moisture than steamed at varoma temp for 15 mins (after coming to temp). I then blotted the skin again to remove all moisture and left in the fridge uncovered for the day. I took it from the fridge 20 minutes before start of cooking time and rubbed all over with olive oil and lots of salt. Pre heated AF to 160 for 5 minutes then cooked at 160 for 30 mintues. There was a section in the middle that wasn't cooking as well as the rest but I didnt' worry and cooked a further 30 minutes at 180 degrees then 10 mins at 200. All the crackle was perfectly crispy.

What do you girls want me to do with your times when we already have times for some of these things on page 1?  Hally's arancini is very similar to yours BZB so no need to double up on that but your corn timing & temperature is a bit different to Courtons.

So true Courton. When I turned on the tv tonight it was on a "shopping" channel and guess what the product was? I watched for a while. I have to say that it turned me off the AF. The food you girls cook in the AF looks delish. The food that was cooked on the tv looked very ordinary. Anyone been contacted by the manufacturer yet?  ;D ;D ;D

I think you will find it an assett in your kitchen CP.  i am still amazed how quickly it heats to 200c. I cooked scones for afternoon tea yesterday.  I had it a 200 but next time i would preheat alitle lower. They were pretty good, very light. When you combine it with thermie done in minutes.
We love pumpkin spinach feta and pinenut salad.  Roasts cubed pumpkin in a flash.

BZB i used Judy's daughters recipe (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=13888.0), used the measuring cup to cut them. I started with af at 200 but i think it was a little too hot  as they browned quickly but doughy in midde so reduced to 180.  They took about 7 min.  I like the fact you can check what is hapning without losing heat.

I also made scones using Nay Nays recipe.  Made 1/2 batch.  The Wwoofers woofed them and asked for recipe.  Oops thought I posted  times.
Generally,  I use a lower temp than 200 and then use 200 to finish off/ brown.  Philips suggest the other way around.

Light sponge cakes.
These are based on 'Quicker than a cake mix', 1/2 recipe.  I mixed in bowl with fork.
Preheat AF to 160,
Spray 3 coffee cups with Canola oil.
Tip mix into each cup.
Bake in preheated AF at 160 , 10 minutes
Cover cakes, ( I used pie tins not foil as it will not remain on cakes).
Bake 5 mins, 160.

Note.
I initially made 2 but 3 cups will fit and give a better size cake.
Could use any of the suggested flavorings.

Judy, eaten already!! Raspberry and plum jam and cream.  They were a bit large but cooked perfectly.  Might have to reduce baking time when I make 3.  Ral said very nice.  He is not a cake eater.  Could put a bit of Marmalade in bottom and grated rind in cake mix and make little puddings. Serve with TMX custard.
The Chocolate cake from Philips book was well liked by the CFA staff.

Title: Re: Air Fryer temperature and times - general guidelines
Post by: achookwoman on March 17, 2014, 06:11:00 am
Bedlam, I always keep pen and paper handy when cooking something for first time.  Although today made chicken and veggie rolls in spring  roll wrappers.  Didn't record time and temp as this is a visual thing.  When brown and crisp,  ready. Yesterday baked a small whole chicken at 180/ 30 mins.  Flipped 1/2 way through.  Perfect.  Used leftover chicken in rolls today. 
Judy,  I don't use thermometer for cakes.  Use bamboo skewer.
I roasted veggies in AF prior to roasting chicken and kept then warm in mini SC.  Popped potatoes back for last 10 minutes with chicken,  to crisp up.  Trying not to use oven. 
BZB,  that cake looks yummy.  I have bought a small loaf pan.  Will try that next.  We are having issues with our power at the moment.  Baked a small load of grain bread in SC with power going off about 4 times during baking.  Hope it is fixed tomorrow.

All these meals look amazing!  :o

I'm terribly tempted, but I don't have the bench space. As it is, my microwave is in the laundry (which opens to the kitchen). I think I'd be able to do most of these things in my microwave as it's a convection one. I already use it to cook cakes and bread, and have often done roast vegies in it.

I think it's probably something my son and his fiancee would like, as their oven is hopeless. Might get them one for Christmas if they think they would use it. I asked them if they'd like to share a Thermomix (I wanted to get another one for our house in Albany so I'm not carting mine back and forth) and my son said 'no, he wouldn't use it'. I was quite surprised, but he's never been to a demo. He's seen me use mine over and over, but still not convinced. I think once they have children it will be different.

Sorry, hijacking this thread!!

Back to air fryers. Does anyone who has a convection microwave think it would be a useful gadget still?

I have put mine in the garage which is just a few steps away and I love it in there. No smell in the house and not taking up bench space.

I have a toaster oven with a large capacity. I have it in the laundry and I haven't bought a an airfryer because the T/O does everything and has a larger capacity than the airfryer. Not quite as quickly but I'm sure a convection oven would be quicker MJ.

Hi Mich . . can I ask what brand your toaster oven is?
Title: Re: Air Fryer temperature and times - general guidelines 1st List
Post by: mcmich on July 02, 2014, 10:47:46 am
It's a Breville. Has a very large capacity. Comes with loads of accessories, such as a rotisserie (which I haven't used) pizza tray, grilling tray, extra tray  ???. $139.00

I use it regularly - at least daily. Have cooked a baked dinner for 6 in it.

A quick bread. Only 300 gms Laucke  soy and linseed. 200 degrees for 12 minutes on silicone paper. Removed paper at 12 minutes flipped then in for another 3 minutes.

Probably should have flipped at 10 minute mark.

Hi Gert...nice loaf!  I seem to be missing something here though...what is silicon paper? I scoured the shelves of two supermarkets and only found baking paper. I'm figuring they do the same thing but you've got me wondering...  Thanks! ;D

Maybe Gert means these liners JenJan http://www.petersofkensington.com.au/Public/Regency-Reusable-Cookie-Sheet-Liner.aspx

I use them to line lots of baking dishes, baking trays etc but have never cut one to fit the a/f.

Silicone paper is baking paper . But yes Judy those thingies would be good cut to size. They might be good on top of the basket too to prevent thin chips,from flying.

You are a wonder JD. That is why I love ya..

Luv ya too Gert  :-* :-*   I just remembered I have some toastie bags Chookie gave me ages ago and they're a pretty good size for laying in the bottom of the a/f basket for something small.  I'd be more inclined to put a small, round wire rack on top of food to stop it flying around Gert, I think these silicon sheets would be sucked up by the strong flow of air in there.

Post by: achookwoman on July 09, 2014, 10:53:56 am
Yes the silicon sheet does get sucked up and sticks to the element.  I cut up a couple off those toaster bags and they are very handy to pop under things that might stick to the wire.  I have bought one of those wire strainer that they sell in Chinese shops.  Ral can cut the long handle off and it will sit over light food.  
Gert ,  the bread looks good.  I have baked rolls successfully in the A F.

So excited I found this thread! I got a air fryer recently but so far I've only used it for store bought things. Can't wait to try some of the recipes from this thread!

I wish the basket was easier to clean. It's so quick to heat up and use but depending what I make in these the basket is so hard to clean because it's not non-stick.

Also does anyone have issues with it setting off the fire alarm? I think it's the grease from cooking meat stuck up on the top (which you can't clean?).

Post by: gertbysea on September 28, 2014, 01:24:51 am
I have a philips AF and find it pretty easy to clean. I either soak it in the sink or shove it in the dishwasher. You can clean the inside of the AF  by turning  it on it's side and  reaching  in to clean the element  and top. If you do it frequently you will not have a grease build up to set the alarm off.

Alas no dishwasher for me :(. I will try turning it on it's side to better access the element on top though.

Post by: Bedlam on September 28, 2014, 12:57:51 pm
Bluebear, fill the basket and base with water as soon as you remove the food then wash after eating.  Sometimes I spray a little oil over my basket before I put the food in and if I am doing veges etc I shake frequently as they are cooking.

I am still thinking about getting one of these but cant decide between this and one of the other sort; I think they are called Actifry. Not sure what the difference is other than the shape.
Title: Re: Air Fryer temperature and times - general guidelines 1st List
Post by: judydawn on November 16, 2015, 07:32:15 am
Someone will be able to tell you the difference, I think the actify stirs which wouldn't suit all dishes.  I hope someone confirms this.
Title: Re: Air Fryer temperature and times - general guidelines 1st List
Post by: achookwoman on November 16, 2015, 08:24:33 am
Mt sister has an Actifry but would buy a Phillips next time.  The main difference is that the Actifry stirs and the Phillips doesn't.  There were other differences but I can't remember what they were.
Title: Re: Air Fryer temperature and times - general guidelines 1st List
Post by: cookie1 on November 16, 2015, 08:42:45 am
Troupie from memory you wouldn't be able to put dishes and things in the actifry. Probably the best thing is to check them both out somewhere as they are quite different.
Title: Re: Air Fryer temperature and times - general guidelines 1st List
Post by: Katiej on November 16, 2015, 10:29:57 am
I bought an Actifry a couple of years ago, it was quite expensive then.  It is round and has a paddle in the middle of it, it "paddles" the food around as it cooks - which is ok for chips, but not for other foods. I tried to do arranchini in it once and they were all squashed by the paddling. You can take the paddle out, but then the food doesn't cook evenly. I gave it away to my SIL (who loves it).

I then bought a a Rank Arena family size airfryer, which I like. I've been able to cook many more things in this, a whole chicken, a small pork roast for example.  I think this type is better. The Phillips one is probably the best to get, but also the most expensive.

Post by: Bedlam on November 17, 2015, 12:48:55 am
I too have the phillips and use it heaps.  I bought a cheaper one from Kogan and not so thrilled with that.  It is much slower and doesn't have the fan shape on the bottom.  I think that is what helps the air circulate better in the phillips.
Title: Re: Air Fryer temperature and times - general guidelines 1st List
Post by: mcmich on November 17, 2015, 04:31:14 am

Air Fryer Chips … or French Fries if you prefer

I don’t have an air fryer so do not know if this is common knowledge, but I don’t recall seeing it anywhere else so thought I would pass it on.  It was just a comment contained in a post on a blog from fatfreevegan.

I made the oil-free fries in my little Phillips air fryer, ... I simply cut thin fries … toss them with about a tablespoon of aquafaba and some seasonings. Then I air fry at 360F for 18 minutes, tossing and stirring every 6 minutes.

A question for all you AF experts.  An acquaintance sent me this recipe outline at the weekend and I quite fancy making it, however I do not have an AF.  Is anyone able to suggest times / temperatures in a FF oven?

The image she sent showed a nice soft tofu, not dried out or crunchy … although I think that would be really tasty too:

Shred some drained, firm tofu and marinate it (bbq sauce, tamari (or soy sauce), maple syrup, coconut Sriracha, garlic powder, onion powder, and a good dash of smoked paprika) then pop it in the air fryer.

Thanks

Post by: judydawn on September 21, 2021, 02:14:01 am
Marina I find things cook quicker in the a/f and I usually turn the temperature down a bit for some things too but that depends on what type of a/f people have as some run hotter than others. Anything you cook in an oven can be cooked in an a/f and vice versa so use whatever temperature you’re happy working with and just keep an eye on it. Good luck.
