They apparently still use oil, just a very small amount.

 

The Philips Airfryer fries food using a combination of hot air circulation and a grill element, all the while using minimal oil and promoting itself as a healthy alternative to traditional deep frying. While it claims to have the “best tasting fries without the oil” this isn’t all it can do. You can airfry meat and poultry dishes like schnitzel or drumsticks and snacks like spring rolls, nuggets and fish fingers. You can even make sweet snacks in the Airfryer.

 

Our home economist, Fiona Mair, tested the Airfryer by cooking chips, chicken legs, crumbed chicken tenderloins and chicken balls. The chicken was juicy and tender with a nice golden color, but the chips weren’t as evenly browned and were crisp in some areas but soft in others. While deep-frying gives a quicker result, the time taken to airfry chips depends on the thickness of the chips and whether they’re frozen or not - generally it takes about the same time as an oven. Fiona found that most recipes still required some oil, but a minuscule amount compared to a deep fryer.
