    Any opinions on the Air Fryer

    • ash2000 on 30/08/2020 - 14:28

      I wouldn't call this an airfryer, I'd call this a fan forced toaster oven.

      Once you start introducing racks into an "air fryer" the ease of cleaning which has been key to the popularity of the "drawer type" air fryer all but dissapears.

      • scud70 on 30/08/2020 - 14:47

        That thing looks like a miniature oven…. I have no idea about air fryers, what would be the advantage over my fan forced oven?

        • BlackMothra on 30/08/2020 - 14:52
          +7

          Probably less electricity used. I have a 90-cm wide oven and preheat can take half an hour or more and feels wasteful if I only ‘air fry’ a tray if chips.

          • scud70 on 30/08/2020 - 17:21

            @BlackMothra: Gotcha… assumed it was either that or faster at cooking, but wasn’t sure of the overall difference.

              @scud70: They are faster at cooking. I have a Phillips airfryer that I've been very happy with. Something like potato gems, for example, cook in 10 mins in the airfryer.

              • scud70 on 30/08/2020 - 20:32

        I have the kmart 3 in 1.
        Cleaning is easy. Racks can go in the dishwasher and you just need to quickly wipe out the insides.

        • ash2000 on 30/08/2020 - 15:58

          What about the sides, door, back and base?

            @ash2000: The bottom has a drip tray which i chuck in the dishwasher too.

            The side you need to wipe - preferably while warm (not hot).
            And the door comes out easily for wiping too.

            It's defo not like cleaning an oven /

          • mmd on 30/08/2020 - 16:21

            @ash2000: I have something similar
            You can take the door off to clean

          • dufflover on 30/08/2020 - 16:22

            @ash2000: That's what I thought at the start, but if you look at some air fryers like the popular Mistral deal, that has air vents on the sides of the outer basket too. Not all though.

        Wrap the trays in foil.

        • ash2000 on 30/08/2020 - 16:17

          You will restrict airflow.

            @ash2000: not for this one as the airflow comes from above.

            I don't like to waste foil and the drip tray is easy enough to chuck into the dishwasher.

          • Skinnerr on 30/08/2020 - 18:45

            @ash2000: That only matters if you're cooking something big, not nuggets or toast.

        Why would introducing a rack into an airfyer make it that much more difficult to clean?

        I don't have any trouble cleaning other baking racks, etc, but cleaning the rest of the airfryer (basket and basket housing) is a slight pain because of the bulkiness, you need a large enough sink.

        • ash2000 on 30/08/2020 - 17:34
          +1

          Not hard to clean, but certainly more effort than putting two baskets (drawer model) into a dishwasher.

          Having shelves as opposed to a basket also offers many benefits I'm sure.

    • imcold on 30/08/2020 - 15:07

      Just like an oven but you have to clean the whole thing rather than the tray. I guess if you put a tray in it would block the air circulation.

      Would be nice to get some opinions from actual users rather than those speculating that it's like their existing fan forced oven.

      I have a 6L no name brand and it's amazing, I just wonder how well this aldi one cooks larger portions (whole chickens, etc). Hopefully it's powerful enough to make use of the capacity.

      • Watto23 on 31/08/2020 - 08:48

        It is literally a small oven though Air Fryer's work in exactly the same way as a fan forced oven. The benefits though are they are smaller so heat up quicker, the air can be circulated a bit better as well, but for all intents and purposes they are a fan forced oven.

        • TEER3X on 08/09/2020 - 16:19

          You're not going to get that sort of airflow in your fan forced oven. That's where people are mistaken in saying it's just a small oven.

      • richadam on 31/08/2020 - 11:38

        I have never used it but my one from two years ago from aldi came with the rotisserie specifically for chicken. So I'm assuming, yes.

    • gr70 on 30/08/2020 - 22:54

      can only see a picture of it so no ideas of its specs - but in general, air fryers good; and I think this looks like a lot of other ones on the market that appear essentially to have the same specs but are different cosmetically. Eg, devanti make one ($240) that looks a bit different to the kogan one (at $129), but has the same functionality, programs and accessories. i have no proof, but it does look like they are the one product tweaked for different retailers. I have a kogan one on order, with free delivery and $5 for subscribing to their newsletter. Mattblatt have a range of them as well, including the devanti i refer to

    • richadam on 31/08/2020 - 11:37

      Bought their similar model two years ago and I love it! I use it almost daily for a range of meals. Great for the normal things like potato gems and chips but I also have on the odd occasion cooked steak on the bottom rack with some chips/roast veggies on the top rack. Great for bacon (in the fryer) and eggs (in the pan) on the weekend as well.

      I live by myself so I find that I have been using my oven less and less due to this air flyer.

      Clean up is easy, wire trays and bottom tray in the dishwasher, wipe down the side and door and you're done.

      Happy to answer questions.

    • jecec on 30/08/2020 - 16:31

      what? You mean the thermo cooker is not available in Melbourne?

      Always thought the specials were national wide, well at least East side.

      • Alzori on 30/08/2020 - 17:18

        Must be a covid thing, normally it is consistent. All my local Melbourne stores switched 2/3 of their special buys space to regular grocery space, so I'm guessing their distribution is affected.

        • pichxlonco on 30/08/2020 - 18:05

          I was checking Big W site and they are offering free books when buying in store, EXCEPT in Melbourne, o i guess they are trying to avoid having such good offers that people would leave their houses and form a crowd just to get an air fryer or thermocooker.

          The previous model fared well against the Thermomix.

          So the addition of touchscreen should make it more premium. I will definitely be queuing up.

            @jamba: You would be better keeping the kcook. It is unlikely to be able to be used as a true food processor and will probably not cook to 180C. Unless you want it for "milling". The kCook Multismart is a more flexible machine.

            • jamba on 30/08/2020 - 17:21

              @staceleebrown: Thanks for the advice. So you reckon the kcook has more features? Plus I bought the kcook for $343 which is $150 cheaper than the Aldi cooker.

              • staceleebrown on 30/08/2020 - 21:11
                +1

                @jamba: The kCook has the independent processing tower so you can grate & slice. It also has the ability to stir without “mushing” the contents. The app is clunky to find recipes on, but once you do find what you want to cook, the machine does a very good job. The Thermomix TM6 advantage over it is that it does a better job of “blender” style milling & grinding, but the other machines with the exception of the Magimix Cook Expert do a better job of stirring. The TM6’s biggest advantage is the guided cooking and access to Cookidoo which is constantly being updated with more recipes. I don’t think that Aldi will be able to provide the level of support that Thermomix provide so their machine won’t have that advantage over the kCook.

    • dufflover on 30/08/2020 - 14:22

      I've been pondering about that Kmart one for a while. For when the cheapie Kogan one eventually dies, if ever.

      Agree with the above.
      I've been using this almost daily whilst I've been working from home.
      Makes lunches more interesting as you can do things that you would normally do in the over but do not need to wait for pre-heating.

      Roast Pork Belly and Roast Pork works out fantastic with this.

      I also make beef jerky with mine using the dehydrate function.

          The Kmart one does - i actually haven't used it myself so cannot comment on effectiveness.
          It is only rated to 1kg so don't expect to do anything massive.

          I have used the rotisserie basket for chips but it's a pain to use so i just use the trays.

      • db87 on 31/08/2020 - 13:06

        Can you elaborate on the jerky part? I nearly want one just for this feature alone! I've been wanting to make my own jerky for a very long time, does it go dry enough? I like it very dry/hard, something a lot of jerky/biltong can't achieve since the (good) Geronimo days.

        Air fryer for everything else is a bonus.

        • dasher86 on 31/08/2020 - 13:08

          I've never had geronimo.
          but yes it can go hard and dry but i can't comment if that will be enough for you.

            @dasher86: Geronimo had deals a plenty a few years ago before they got bought out and eventually closed down.

            They used to be the OzBargain go-to.

            As long as it's not chewie (almost moist) like a lot of jerky I've tried, I'd be sold.

    • sakurakiks on 31/08/2020 - 14:01

      It's been pretty much out of stock since at least the beginning of the year, I have periodically been checking as I've been wanting it for a long time. Don't see it coming back anytime soon, so might go for this Aldi one or even Kogan (spec wise almost identical to the Kmart one it seems, just bigger by 1L)

      Easy to fold out and easy to pack down. I'd definitely buy it again.

    • LinkJah on 30/08/2020 - 18:17

      Bought a 6 man tent from Aldi a year ago on clearance. The 'instant up' design is great and makes the unpacking/packing really quick and easy. Material is a bit thin compared to other tents on the market, so may not last you many seasons if you camp a lot. I rarely go camping, so am happy with the purchase.

    • bamzero on 30/08/2020 - 18:44

      Bought this 6P and been happy with it so far. Only used a few times though and hasn't seen any really windy or wet conditions (just a little light rain) so not sure how it would handle that but has done the job for us as casual campers (2 adults, 2 kids).

      Then again, different tent, probably different manufacturer so could mean nothing when it comes to the one on sale now.

      Did the stores say it was sold out? Or is it was possible it was withheld?

      Don’t think you missed much. A lot of people complained the plastic clip that hold the baking plates melt. I believe Tefal has a similar multi snack maker and is probably better built.
