Philips Viva Airfryer HD9220 Review

Frying Is Now Healthier Than Ever

Over the past six weeks, we only have made coffee equipment reviews,  but today we will bring you something different. Are you one of those people who gets the feeling of guilt whenever you eat fried food?  Have you ever wondered if there is any way to fry food healthier? The answer is YES, and we have the solution to your problems. So, without further ado, its time to talk about the Philips Viva Airfryer HD9220.

Have you ever heard the term air-frying? This is a method of cooking that consists of circulating hot air around the food using a convection mechanism. A mechanical fan circulates the hot air around the food at high speed, cooking the food and producing a crispy layer via the Maillard effect. An air fryer works by coating the desired food in a thin layer of oil while circulating air heated up to 392 °F (200 °C). By doing this, the fryer is able to fry foods like potato chips, chicken, fish, french fries or pastries using 70% to 80% less oil than a traditional deep-fryer.

Now that you know what is an air fryer let’s jump to the Philips Viva Airfryer HD9220 review.

Final thoughts

After some tryouts, we get very impressed with this air frier. If you follow the exact steps in the cookbook, you will end up with great results. You can also end up with great results if you try your own recipes, but we advice to first take a look at the cookbook. You will notice that you have to make some preparations before you can cook the ingredients on the air fryer.

In the end, we believe that this product is a good and healthy alternative to the traditional frying processes. We don’t believe that this equipment can ever substitute the traditional ways to cook (frying, roasting, and baking) but we truly believe that this product has great potential and is a great option for the right type of consumer.
