Whereas not too long ago,Aspects To Consider When Evaluating Low Fat Air Fryers Articles hot air fryers were hard to find on the domestic marketplace, today, there aren't many people who haven't heard of low fat air fryers. Tefal had been probably the first to create out their own model and this has become incredibly popular despite its high price in comparison with traditional deep fryers. However, the challenge has begun and Philips has launched their model which has a completely different look to the Tefal. So what are the principal considerations you must think about when making your choice.

Areas you should consider are who's going to use the air fryer, where you are going to use it, what you actually want it for, dependability and of course the purchase price. Let's look at these elements in turn, but first, a brief summary on how air fryers work.

With a traditional deep fat fryer food is submerged in hot fat, air fryers work by circulating very hot air in order to heat and crisp up the outside level of the food. Precisely how the air is circulated differs according to the air fryer model, but food is cooked quickly and without the need for anywhere near the amount of oil needed for a deep fat fryer. With the low fat air fryers, this may be absolutely no oil if you are using frozen potato fries that are already sprayed with oil, or simply a tablespoon for 800 to 1000gm of fresh food.

Please note We said 'low fat' air fryers as some models that are sold as air fryers work in a different way and will routinely drop your food in and out of the oil (e.g. the De'Longhi Rotofry). Although this utilizes approximately half the oil of a traditional fryer, it is far removed from that used by the low fat air fryers manufactured by Philips and Tefal.

Moving on to who's going to make use of the fryer - Many adults will be able to make use of the air fryers and this is especially relevant to anyone who has difficulty grasping things as there far less danger when dealing with deep fat fryers. You won’t have to deal with a couple of litres of boiling oil and also worry about burning yourself.

The kitchen is obviously the right spot to use your air fryer. However, because it doesn't have to hold a couple of litres of oil or fat, it really is much easier to take it away with you to show it off to friends, or use within a caravan or a getaway home.

As for what you want it for, many people are thrilled to be able to eat chips that actually taste like they have been deep fried but without having all the calories. Chips are certainly one of the primary urges people have when you are dieting thus, making this a good way to have what your brain craves! The other thing to mention is that the two main low fat air fryers cook different types of foods. They both cook potato chips and meats, yet one will work with stir fries, currys etc., while the other will even bake cakes and part-baked bread! Unfortunately, they both don’t do everything so you have to determine where your preferences lie.

The robustness of low fat air fryers has come into question recently, and it is too soon to evaluate given this is quite fresh technology. The Tefal has had some concerns but the Philips is far too new to touch upon. Users however, mostly seem very happy making use of their purchase.

Price is always going to be a consideration and you must shop around to get the best price. Even though Philips at this time has got the highest RRP, you can get this air fryer for around the same price as the Tefal. If price is most of your consideration, the De’Longhi is definitely the cheapest but is only going to cook food suited to deep frying and uses more oil.
