Philips has launched an AirFryer, which integrates intelligent design components and leading technology to create the perfect addition to the Indian kitchen. The AirFryer significantly reduces the need for oil for cooking a vast array of Indian dishes and makes it possible to cook using just air.

It is equipped with Philips’ patented Rapid Air technology that uses fast-circulating hot air to create great-tasting fried food containing up to 80 per cent less fat and is a healthy alternative to traditional frying.

The kitchen appliance also allows one to prepare fried food quickly and without the hassle and mess associated with conventional frying methods. It makes it easy to churn out chicken tikka, samosas, kebabs and even Choco Lava cake, allowing everyone to indulge in home-cooked meals.

The product is priced at Rs 14,995 available at leading premium retail chains across Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Indore.

A D A Ratnam, president, consumer lifestyle, Philips India, said, "Consumers are becoming increasingly conscious about their diet and discerning in their food choices today, opting for less oil and fat content in their food without wanting to compromise on taste. With the Philips AirFryer, they get the best of both worlds which is air-fried food that retains the taste but not the fat."

"The AirFryer makes mealtimes convenient and absolutely fuss-free. This new solution addresses consumers’ evolving needs, which is at the heart of all our innovations," he added.

With the AirFryer’s patented Rapid Air technology, consumers can now depend on air to cook their food. The innovative appliance also comes with an integrated air filter which prevents unwanted cooking smells and vapours.

The AirFryer’s Adjustable Temperature Control helps pre-set temperatures of upto 200°C to make crispy and evenly-cooked fried food while cutting down food preparation time significantly.

It also requires minimal heat-up time, so even when in a hurry, one can quickly and easily prepare a batch of great tasting fries without the oil in just 12 minutes.

For busy home chefs who appreciate an appliance that allows one to multi-task, the AirFryer also comes with an integrated timer to pre-set cooking times of up to 30 minutes, which allows you to attend to other tasks while the AirFrying is on.

There is also a food separator accessory that allows users to fry multiple foods at once without mixing the flavours together.

Cleaning up after cooking using the AirFryer is also easy because of its removable, dishwasher-safe parts and non-stick surfaces.
