Philips Air Fryer – Model HD-9200/91

Features of PHILIPS Air Fryer HD9200/90

#1 Less Oil = Savings: This air fryer “claims to use up to 90% less oil” for frying which means healthy food. This is not wrong in any sense. Also, it will let you save cost on two things; less use of refined oils and consumption of LPG gas.

We cooked finger fries of about 4 big potatoes in just 2 teaspoons of refined oil! Just think how much oil you will be saving which can be beneficial for your monthly household responsibilities.

#2 Bigger Capacity: One serving of snacks can take about 20 minutes per round. This can be an issue if you party over or have a joint family. But here, PHILIPS Air Fryers HD9200/90 has a big 4.1 Liter capacity that can fill a platter of 5 to 6 people at a time.

During the Christmas party, we had 6 people to feed and we kept oil in the pan ready if snacks will get delayed but no! The Air Fryer did not leave the party feeling hungry!

#3 Not Just Frying: With PHILIPS Air Fryer HD9200/90 you can fry (obviously), grill, bake, roast, and even reheat. Initially, we focused on frying but now we tried to bake muffins it went pretty well too!

#4 Easy to Clean Mess: Air fryers do leave a lot of oil and residue while cooking. But, it’s effortless to clean. If you just add two glasses of warm water, most of the oil and leftover can be wiped with a wet towel. Feel free to use any liquid wash inside the tub and frying pan. These two are dishwasher ready too. So you can be more confident!

#5 Auto OFF Feature: You can set the timer and focus on other things while your food is being prepared. The “ding” once the timer reaches zero is loud yet sweet. The timer control and the temperature control knob are dual-directional. So if you set a higher time or want to lower it you can do it by ‘re-turning” the knobs. You will need to apply more force while doing this.

Taste Difference Between Air Fried or Oil Fried?

Yes and no! The scale of difference will vary based on the snacks you are preparing.

Are you going to eat frozen snacks? If yes, you will not feel any difference between air-fried or oil fried. We were also shocked. I tried Macens Veg Sticks, Allu tikki, and potato shots and none at a party can guess these were prepared in the air fryer. In fact, snacks prepared in an air fryer are crisper.

If you are going to prepare food from scratch i.e. peeled potatoes for finger fries or Allu tikki or any food without preservatives then yes, the taste will be different. Which you will get used to. Over the last 6 months, we’ve not gone back to fry snacks on GAS.

Few Things to Keep in Mind

Be it any frozen snack you are preparing just make sure the items are oil brushed. The temperature gauge is purely simple. If you need your snacks to be “well done” keep the temperature around 160 deg and run the timer for about 20 Minutes. It will smell delicious as it does in Burger King!

Or you can keep it at a maximum of 200 Deg and reduce the time to 15 minutes.

To be in full control, you can set the timer on your phone or smartwatch for every 5 minutes and give the snacks a good swivel or with the help of a spoon turn the snacks. Though it’s not necessary the motor inside can cook the delicacies 360 deg even still we do it for overall crispness.

For the first cold run, the air fryer will take about 20 minutes to prepare the dish. However, the second and third rounds will be quicker at about 12 mins.

To make cheesy garlic bread we used fresh garlic bread from a grocery store, Amul Mozilla Cheese Diced, Mayonise, freshly chopped vegetables, and seasoning. And that’s what it needs. It does not need to swivel just set the timer and wait for just 10 minutes and be ready for a cheese pull! Yum!

The bread will get a slight crisp and the cheese will be hot which is perfect for the wintertime. Do give it a try.

To prepare this dish, we got half a kg of freshly cut boneless chicken. Marinated it and simply put it in the air fryer. Some people leave it overnight in the freezer and then make it the very next day.

We, however, don’t have much time and we crave more. Be assured the chicken will be well cooked and tastes great. Just prepare grin mint chutney alongside.

Every 5 minutes do give the chicken a good swivel as it put roast flavor overall.
