FAQs

Why are my snacks, such as croquettes and chicken nuggets, not baked crispy and brown?
Why are my snacks, such as croquettes and chicken nuggets, not baked crispy and brown?

Answer: For optimal results with the Airfryer, you should use oven-ready products. Oven-ready snacks become golden brown and crispy when prepared in the Airfryer. If you prepare snacks in the Airfryer that are meant to be prepared in a deep-fat fryer, the snacks usually stay pale and are often less crispy.

If you did use oven-ready snacks and they do not become crispy and stay pale, please check the following:

The amount of ingredients:

Put smaller batches of ingredients in the basket. Cover the bottom of the basket with just one layer. Smaller batches are fried more evenly.

The set temperature:

Most snacks need to be prepared at 200ºC, except for pastry-based snacks. You have to airfry pastry-based snacks at 180ºC.

The preparation time:

If you have not preheated the Airfryer before you put in the snacks, make sure you add 3 minutes extra to the preparation time when you start frying.

Note: Most snacks need the preparation time indicated for the oven to become fully cooked. Preparation times for the deep-fat fryer are shorter and will not lead to a well-cooked result. Most snacks need between 6 and 10 minutes to cook.

Tip: If your croquettes or snacks burst when you prepare them in the Airfryer, choose a shorter preparation time.

If the snacks still do not turn out crispy and brown, we advise you to contact the Philips Consumer Care Center in your country.
Why is the Airfryer better than a conventional deep-fat fryer?
Why is the Airfryer better than a conventional deep-fat fryer?

Answer: Unlike a conventional deep-fat fryer, you do not have to use frying oil in the Airfryer to prepare tasty food. The Airfryer fries the food with circulating hot air by a process referred to as Rapid Air technology. Thanks to this technology, the fries contain up to 80% less fat than fries prepared in a deep-fat fryer. When you prepare homemade French fries, the fat percentage can be even as low as 1.5%

As no frying oil is needed, preparing food in the Airfryer produces less smell than frying in a conventional deep-fat fryer.
What types of frozen fries can I prepare in the Airfryer?
What types of frozen fries can I prepare in the Airfryer?

Answer: You can prepare two types of froze fries in the Airfryer:

1. Frozen oven-ready fries

2. Frozen fries suitable for deep-fat frying.

Tip: Other frozen potato varieties other than fries are also worth trying.

Note: Keep in mind that frozen fries differ from each other. Different brands and varieties need their own settings. In the manual and the Quick Start Guide, you find indications on preparation times. If your frozen fries do not turn out as expected, please read the FAQ ‘My food does not turn out as crispy as I expected. What can I do?’
Which oil is best to use?
Which oil is best to use?
Answer: Most cooking oils can be used to add taste and crispiness to ingredients prepared in the Airfryer.

We advise you to stick to traditional cooking oils such as:

Olive oil

Sunflower oil

Peanut oil

You can also use spiced or flavored oil or soak spices in the oil before you use it. This is an easy way to vary the flavors in your dishes. You can also use butter sprays.

Note: Adding oil is only necessary when you prepare homemade dishes from fresh ingredients that have not been pretreated, such as freshly peeled potatoes or unmarinated chicken. Adding oil creates a crispy layer on the untreated food and improves its taste.
