Philips Airfryer XL HD 9240 Review

With the Philips Air Fryer XL HD 9240, you can make fried chicken or french fries, just without the added unhealthy addition of oil and trans fats.

The Air fryer has become a popular and healthy way to make your favorite fried food dishes.

This is because the air fryer uses just a tablespoon of oil and heat that is rapidly circulating around the food.

Today, we are looking at the Philips HD9240/94 Avance XL Digital Air fryer.

This is a guest post from Kamaldeep at airfryermarket.com.

 

Philips Air fryer XL HD 9240

The Philips Air fryer XL HD 9240 is not the cheapest air fryer, coming in at around $350. It may cost a little more than you would pay for most air fryers, however, it is good value? Due to it’s larger cooking space than most other deep fryers, how does it stack up to the competition? Is the extra frying space worth the higher price? Let’s find out.

As per the air fryer market blog, this air fryer is constructed fairly solidly. It comes in black or white and has a sleek design.

One thing to note about the design is that the drawer slides out easily. This is great if you need to shake around your food while cooking. However, it also means that you should be cautious of children running through the kitchen when you are cooking.

Durability

This extra large fryer is fairly durable if you compare with other air fryer in this category. You can feel when you pick it up that it is somewhat heavy and also sturdy. One thing to note, however, is that this is sold as having dishwasher safe components. After several washes, unfortunately, the non-stick coating of the basket may begin to chip away. It is probably better to stick to washing the different parts of this fryer by hand.

 

Size of the Air fryer

Philips wanted to design a larger airfryer. This large air fryer is capable of cooking enough fries or chicken for a family of 5 or 6.

You can lay an entire bag of French fries across the bottom of the tray. Unfortunately, you still will need to cook in shifts.   This includes if you are preparing a large item for several people, like chicken breasts.

There is a double layer rack and a grill tray available that gives you more cooking space, but these are not included and they come at an extra cost.

Another factor to consider when it comes to the size is that the inside and the outside of the Advance X-Large Air fryer by Philips is large.

It is definitely big enough that you would not want it sitting on the counter all the time (unless you use it that frequently) and it will take quite a bit of space in your cabinet or cupboard.

Cooking Quality

Basically, this air fryer lets you cook anything that you can cook in the deep fryer or oven. The food you cook will be healthier than deep fryer. If you buy the additional trays (grilling, baking, roasting, etc.) it allows even more cooking options. The Philips unit is especially good for foods that are precooked and frozen, such as frozen fries, appetizers, egg rolls, and more. However, it is also good for cooking chicken, fish, and other meats.

Two different foods to be careful with are those that are greasy (such as hamburgers, sausage, etc.) and breaded items. Greasy foods can cause the unit to smoke so badly that smoke detectors in your home may go off. Breaded items leave behind bread crumbs that may be blown through the exhaust of the machine. You should also be careful with flour because of the same reason as bread crumbs- they can make quite a mess!

As far as taste, the foods that come out of the fryer do not taste exactly the same as if they are deep fried. If you do want to replicate the taste more closely, try coating foods with a spritz of oil before tossing them in the air fryer. They taste better, and there is still significantly less calories.

How to Use Philips Air fryer XL

The digital touch interface makes this fryer extremely easy to use.

Just set the temperature, wait for the oven to preheat (which is really fast, less than five minutes) and pop your food in.

Then, set the timer and the oven will make an audible noise and shut itself off when your food is done cooking.

There is a slight learning curve if you have never used an air fryer before, but otherwise it is easy to learn how to use the deep fryer. Just adjust your timing for cooking until it is just right. You can also find a number of recipes online that will help you learn how to use your Philips air fryer.
