Again, you would struggle to fit one in

I go nuts when the missus cooks sausages in because all the crap builds in the bottom and she dont empty after. So when i use it few days later you can bet your life the smoke alarm goes nuts

May be you should add that you got it for £17 with Tesco club card boost to avoid people going on wild goose chase for it @ £17.

Used mine several times now and like it - they have their pro's and con's though.
Really only any use to single people for everyday use then you could just fit a meal in it, otherwise for a family you can cook chips/baked potato's, but have to let them go cold whilst you cook the chicken/sausages etc, as these fryers are very small.
To give you some idea of size - 6 chicken thighs stood up on end are ok - you won't fit a whole chicken in one though (unless very small)
Chips - 3 or 4 portions depending on how much you eat.
Cakes - 1 quite small cake, or 5 cupcakes
You get the picture.....
I love using it, but find we still have to use the oven anyway, and yes it is less fatty but that is the only real advantage, the cook times they state are very ambitious too - the jacket potato's I did x3 took 45 minutes before cooked right through rather than the 28mins they state, they must be quoted on very small spud's is all I can say.
Cheaper to run than an oven, but you will need to use the oven as well if cooking a meal for more than 1 person, either that or buy 2!

I find that using the pan supplied is good enough for grilling, a proprietary baking tray to fit the supplied frying pan for baking is OK just don't expect to use pans that you would use in an ordinary oven as this is not a substitute for normal kitchen appliances it is a replacement for a deep fryer that can do other jobs, so perhaps not for you.

I am tempted by this item but the accessories seem crazy expensive which puts me off as I know I would need them for the type of things I wish to cook.

The Grill pan is around £50 -£55
The Baking Tray is around £26-£30
The Wire Rack is around £25

Bazzy!

I took the last one in sainsbury Leamington spa

looks good and best for eating j




look nice and really want to try one .But is chip the only thing that can cook in it

Thx old boy :man::wink:
Saved the effort of contacting Philips.

Openin old thread here..... Need to ask a question before I break my one:

How do you turn it off, before the dialler "dings"???

I turn it all the way to one minute, and let it run until it dings, but I'm worried what'll happen if I force it beyond that, does it manually ding like a microwave or will it break??

This product is used everyday, we threw microwave out long time, this is healthier replacement, cleaning instruction, FYI

For those asking about chips - home made are nice, but more of a cross between baked/fried/oven
McCain home fries done in these are the best chips we have ever had anywhere - very crispy and light and fluffy in the middle (just make sure to shake them a few times)
I tend to slightly over cook them as I like them really crunchy - you simply won't get them that crunchy in the oven, they just over cook and dry out/burn.
I am liking it more and more - but still the size is the major drawback for us.

about 10 comments saying found them, but nobody answered what model it was. 9220 or 9230? analogue or digital dial? 9230 also has additional rack for layering food.

I picked up the 9220 model with the analogue dial if that helps.

Sorry it was an open question/statement for thread followers.

OMG seriously! I don't own a deep fat fryer which is why I have an air fryer!

Thanks OP. I missed out during Black Friday- I managed to pick one up an hour ago. I contacted sainsburys earlier- I can confirm there are a few in stock. For stock enquiries give them a call on 0800 636262.

Thanks, just picked last two up from Newbury. Brilliant price , been after one for ages :-) mum gets a treat for Xmas too!

Just picked one from Sevenoaks branch,About 4 left, And was only talking about these last week.

is there is any use for vegiterians

Do you wash your deep fat fryer out every time you use it?

No big deal for you but it would be for me :smiley:

Yeah ok, I don't wash mine out after every use,I dont feel the need to .... Is it such a big deal.. Really!

any one found this in westmidland

what's better for chips(frozen and fresh) this or tefal actifry? any1 used both?

No really a wild goose chase, I checked our local and then the big store in Wakefield. Only took about 40mins in total.

Why so hot? Bit if a wild goose chase. Great if you find one but by the comments not many around.

thanks great op

There was still one available at Wakefield trinity today, I managed to grab one myself... £40 with my spare nectar points! Thanks to the OP!

The Fire Brigade should be recommending these - fewer chip pan fire callouts!

Nice!

If you like chips just get this if you can at this price - its a fantastic piece of equipment that will get used and not sit in a cupboard. Try chipping carrots and sweet potatoes - yummy!!!!. (One carrot and one sweet potato in together cooked in about 12 to 15 mins) I prefer this to the tefal actifry as you can adjust the temperature to suit and when the timer stops it does actually switch off compared to the actifry just dings then keeps on cooking. Just buy it if you can find one.

These are great sweet potatoe chips with garlic olive oil and little salt
Tasty also iceland frozen flavoured chips perfect in 10 mins

I agree with you I have had one for over 3 years and it is great for a single person. I do sausages', nuggets, fingers etc. at the same time, but you can't do pie and chips together as you need to shake the chips at intervals during cooking time. I do beef etc. in halogen oven though as the Phillips is to small but works on same principle and put my roasties in with the beef. I find both these items brilliant for single people and used intelligently are all we need for cooking. Keeping both items clean are easy and use so much less electric than an oven or deep fat fryer.

For chips I'd rather pop down to my local, for meat I just use my green egg. I've tried these before and the taste is not as good as grilling for meats. I can see it coming in handy for students who want something quick and easy to use though.

Used mine several times now and like it - they have their pro's and con's though.

Is it easy to clean?

Bought one last week and haven't stopped using it since! Amazing machine, everything I've cooked in it so far has turned out delicious!

bargain , we have one they are brilliant also got another one when amazon did them for this price about a week ago

Visited my local but .. there is non available in store, any update on this SAINSBURYS offer?? any luck other then the OP..?!

I had to take mine back as I wanted to mainly use it for cooking marinated chicken, but the amount of smoke it produced meant it set off the smoke alarm every time and I had to open all the kitchen windows. Got to say it was ok on chips

got mine on black Friday at Tesco's and one for the parents and sister for Christmas.

best kitchen appliance I've ever bought.

throw in frozen chip without any oil and they come out as if they've been fried and fluffy.

cooked sausages, scampi, the lot. you can even make cakes with it.

I saw this in Walthamstow sainsburys there was 1 left

is this the 9220 or 9230?
the 9230 looks the same but the temp/time dials are digital buttons and comes with additional rack for layering food. I can cook double the amount of some foods in my 9230 than in the 9220.

it absolutely doesn't need washed after every use. that's a bit OCD. it totally depends on what you cook. after fatty meat yes, after frozen croquettes/fish fingers etc a quick wipe with a wet cloth does.

Anyway to get use nectar points to get this for half price?

Thanks op. My mum picked one up at derby sainsburys for this price. None left on shelf but 2 left out the back

Got mine from Tesco on Black Friday and used £40 club card boost so only paid £9 for it, I've used it nearly every day and would highly recommend it, I've made wedges, chips and Fish fingers for the kids, they all cook really well

Ok so over 400 degrees - I haven't seen a post yet with anyone else saying they got one at this price!
Has anyone?

I would definitely wash it after every use or it will start to smell! :confused:

No, it doesn't need washed after every use, had one of these for a couple of years now, brilliant item, I usually just use mine to heat up pies or make chips, am not very adventurous lol... Heat added

Where I get this deal?

This or the halogen oven?

Has anyone managed to find one other than the OP? Thinking of driving down to Sainsburys to get one. Thanks

So is this similar to one of the little halogen ovens? Seems it's just a fanned oven so how does the fryer bit work?

Yeah most probably mine was 33 including boost, ppl just say " yeah paid 20 quid for mine" but forget to mention including Tesco Clubcard vouchers plus boost to cause a bit of a stir!!! Why??? Cheap frills I guess

Got one from Tesco during the black friday sales for £29 it is great and you can make a surprising amount of things in it, and really easy to keep clean

It'll be fun trying though :wink:

I bought one from amazon last week. It's almost as amazing and useful as a microwave.

These are more of an oven than a fryer!

Not really .... Someone asked what else could be cooked in it ... Not baked. It was clearer to answer like that.

You can give it a basic clean out then shove it in the dishwasher if you like , mine is dishwasher safe , the grill pan and basket that is

You can cook cake in it but never done it.

£200 at launch was inline with other products (tefal etc)

Best purchase in a while, I have the digital one that has a rack with it and can easily cook for a family of 4... Brilliant piece of kit and very easy to clean...

Cannot believe the original RRP on these things though, how is £200 justified !

I purchased three of these from Tesco but will be returning them as the frying baskets are so small. I was hoping these were going to be Christmas pressies

Had mine from Amazon a week ago and it's fantastic, I've tried cooking most things and they've done well, did lamb chops earlier. Done sausages, bacon, pies, chips, wedges, roast potatoes, nuggets, fish fingers and they've ask come out well, I put the tray and basket in the dishwasher after. Only wish it were the bigger one

this sold out quick at this price at currys

For veggies you could cook battered cheese balls?

That's funny hehe

Ah that's true, though I still consider spending a voucher to have cash value as I've earnt it and it could be used for anything else. In real terms I paid £29 (£20 points doubled to £40 + £9 cash), but I still paid £49 as I could have bought anything for £49 instead of this.

He probablyused £32 worth voucher and paid £17 cash.There was no

He probably used £32 worth voucher and paid £17 cash.There wasn't any one off deal.

I was thinking that too, but that would only have taken it down to £24.50 surely (since it was £49). So somehow he must have got another kind of deal/one off perhaps.

got mine from tesco last week for £17 and even thou it's not massive it's brilliant piece of equipment

Sounds great this does, so I can cook my chicken and sausages then put the cake mix in and have the chips ready for supper without washing it.

Store specific?

That's great thanks, just what I wanted to know. Would be a bit pointless if I needed to cook separate or still fire up the traditional oven. Look forward to giving mine a go

No you cant layer it, it just wont cook. It needs to be spread out.

got mine from tesco last week for £17 and even thou it's not massive it's brilliant piece of equipment

Yeah it does nugget/frozen chicken goujones etc, incredibly well. One things it does stunning as well, frozen spring rolls. They come out amazing, strange but true.

Ive got the larger one, i put in two chicken legs and chips, put the legs in for 20 minutes, when it was down to 15 minutes i put the chips in. They werent quite done so i added another 5 minutes.

I tend to find that the other food is a touch greasier when i do it this way, it seems the grease of the meat gets blown onto the chips, though it gives them a nice taste.

Ive used an air fryer now for about three years, one of the best things i ever bought, have used it almost every day.

Ok thanks, I'll check out amazon

you can cook most things in it , it's basically a mini electric oven , kids love the nuggets in it , scampi and garlic mushrooms are lovely the list is really endless , if you look on amazon loads of questions have been answered about the fryer

Should have added at the time of spot the label was pretty obscure so any regular shopper would easily miss it, and there were around 6/7 units.

good find op, heat

Aside from chips, do you mind if I ask what else you've had success cooking with it? And anything that doesn't work so good?[/quote]
Samosas and spring roll, also potato croquette and crispy American fried chicken are good too..

At same time? I mean can you layer foods, else surely its difficult to prepare a meat and chips at same time etc.

So it needs to be washed after every use unlike a traditional fryer. I'll remember that. Can you cook sausages and chips at the same time out of curiosity?

chicken and sausages are great!

I go nuts when the missus cooks sausages in because all the crap builds in the bottom and she dont empty after. So when i use it few days later you can bet your life the smoke alarm goes nuts

found one left in sainsbury cheshire oak
