In every relationship, there tends to be one person who loves to cook and one who doesn’t, which suits everyone just fine.

In mine, neither of us has that spark when it comes to cooking dinner every. single. night. 

Philips Airfryer Premium XXL

Deciding what to cook and then actually making it has become a chore. If I’m completely honest, I’d rather clean the bathroom. 

I recently tested the Philips premium XXL airfryer, AKA the smartest air fryer on the market (that information alone intrigued me.) And the brilliant news is that this clever kitchen appliance is making life much easier.

Best Air Fryer review

Over the past few weeks, I’ve had the pleasure of testing the Philips premium airfryer. This is my first air fryer experience, and I have to say that I am very impressed with all the cooking presets. These handy settings mean your air fryer knows how long to cook your dish and at what temperature. The appliance will also beep at you when it’s ready.

I’ve cooked countless dinners using the Philips air fryer, from basic chicken nuggets and chips for my son to a zucchini and egg slice. We’ve had sausages, salmon, chicken fillets, and meatballs (not simultaneously). We’ve baked perfectly crispy potatoes and fried bacon to perfection. I’ve also used it to reheat meals, and I can hand on my heart say that an air fryer in the best way to reheat pizza.

The pros: What I loved about the Philips Premium Airfryer XXL

I used my stove less. Not only did this air fryer reduce the need to use yourmy oven but I used my stove a lot less too. Air frying, sausages, bacon and marinated apricot chicken to name a few.  

It prompts you to toss your food. If you’re using presets for frozen food, the air fryer will ping you when your chips need tossing.

It’s fast. Cooking meals in the air fryer is faster, and I can have chicken nuggets and chips on the table in 9 minutes. In case you wondering, the XXL air fryer can cook up to 50 chicken nuggets in one go.

It has a cooking timer.  I need more fingers to count the number of times I’ve put vegetables in the oven to cook for dinner and forgotten all about them. I can set, cook, and forget with the Philips air fryer. When I do remember, the veggies are perfectly cooked. 

It’s portable. As long as you have power, you can take your air fryer into the great outdoors (or, in my case, to a camping site). While a little bulky, if your child is obsessed with hot chips, it’s worth it. We also used it for cooking delicious lamb chops. 

It’s designed to handle lots of food. I like that there’s enough space to cook enough food for the family in one frying session.

It doesn’t turn my kitchen into a sauna. Using the oven means the temperature in our open-plan living room/kitchen increases a few degrees, and it’s uncomfortable, and I don’t like it.

The cons: What I didn’t love

I don’t really have anything bad to say about this airfryer. If I have to pick something, I was surprised at the air fryer’s size which is silly because it’s designed to handle lots of food, so of course, it’s larger than your average model. 

The Philips premium airfryer XXL, is an impressive appliance that simplifies the cooking process for those who find it a chore. Its SmartSensing technology, preset cooking options, and portable design allow hassle-free cooking of various dishes.

Using the Philips Airfryer can result in faster cooking times, perfectly cooked meals, and a comfortable kitchen environment. 

If you are searching for an efficient and practical way to simplify your cooking routine, the Philips premium airfryer XXL is a great option.
