Thanks, I have a halogen oven but while it's fast and capable enough, the food certainly doesn't taste anything like it would out of a conventional fan oven and in the case of chicken, for instance, you would have to baste to get the flavour. Sort of defeats the purpose.

Really? I find chicken is much nicer out of my halogen than my fan oven, I've barely used the fan oven at all since buying the halogen. It might be because the fan oven is old, I certainly know it has hot spots in it and often food can be left cooked slightly unevenly which is something I never get with the halogen- because its so small every part of the chicken gets cooked evenly. I usually brown the chicken first and then wrap it in tin foil to lock the moisture in, works a treat.

Is any of the papers doing the lidl voucher this week ? And could it be used to get 10 euro off the purchase price of this ?

Is this made by Philips with a Sivercrest badge? it looks very similar and Philips say they use patented technology

I would doubt it. I have a similar machine that I bought on Amazon last year for around the same price and it's a Chinese knockoff. But it's great!

Thanks for that, will probably go for the original for such a small difference in price.

Chaos in my local Lidl today, these were sold out this morning. People were going around to other shoppers asking if they were purchasing the air fryers in their trolleys!

Casey78 · 15-06-2015 01:40PM

Really? Probably too late dropping into my local one after work so!
Think I'll just buy the Philips one for a few quid extra

The Lidl in Kildare Town had about 6 or 7 at lunchtime, obviously not as healthy as the rest of the country

Anyone tried there's yet?

Loads left in the Lidl in Waterford about 12.30. Cooked some frozen chips in it just to test it out, turned out very well.

Gulliver · 15-06-2015 06:14PM

All gone in Bundoran this evening.

Thargor · 15-06-2015 08:36PM

Saw one in Grystones half an hour ago.

L1011 · 15-06-2015 08:52PM

Parents got one in Maynooth at 7pm.

Used it last night, it's a great piece of kit. I was sceptical because I had previously used a Tefal Actifry and swore by it but I was pleasantly surprised at the results of the Lidl Air Fryer. Very fast cooking time, and the food was cooked perfectly even. It does amazing Kale chips with cashews. I also cooked a Spanish Omelette in record time.

mylittlepony · 16-06-2015 08:47AM

Any left in Kerry lidil shops:
Killarney / Tralee \ Listowel?

How did you do a Spanish omelet in the little basket?

I used greaseproof paper to cover the basket end.

The shape looks similar, but I can see all the parts are different, so definitely not just rebadged. It is also slightly more powerful than the philips one.

They are basically fan ovens, so the patent is probably about something very specific that they just did not use in the lidl one.

Here is a case where Philips lost to a Chinese place making airfryers
http://www.shanghaidaily.com/Metro/society/Philips-loses-food-fryer-patent-case/shdaily.shtml

But Shanghai No.1 Intermediate People’s Court ruled a food fryer Lock & Lock sold didn’t infringe an air circulation patent owned by Philips.

The court said the internal designs are different, noting that the Lock & Lock fryer does not have an air outlet on its upper surface, as the Philips one does.

An absence of this feature meant that the defendants’ product didn’t infringe Philips’ patent claims, said the court.

Just picked one up 5 mins ago in the Lidl on the Walkinstown Road. Still 5 or 6 left there.

I do eggs in silicone cup cases/fairy cake cases.

I think you get 6 for €1.49 in dealz.

This thread is useless without videos of making chips and other stuff. Id like to see how they look after being cooked and a review.

This is a bargain alert thread, I think what you're looking for is Youtube! Type in Air Fryer recipes!

I already did and most of it was either foreign or adverts form the manufacturers. I wanted to see videos of this specific model form members on here. No harm in expanding the content in here as LIDL bargain alerts are so time sensitive the thread would die shortly anyway.

VIDEOS!!! I want to see some chips

Casey78 · 16-06-2015 06:34PM

Just cooked some Supervalu Chicken Maryland and Mcain oven chips.
Absolutely delish.
The basket wasn't big enough to put chicken side by side so I just put one on top of the other and turned them half way through. 18 mins for chicken and the were lovely. Really crispy breaded skin and lovely moist chicken.
Oven chips 10mins and they really were very nice.
Delighted with it so far.
The big test will be Friday nights steak dinner!!

danjo-xx · 16-06-2015 09:37PM

Are they noisy and how long to cook chips for 2.

Naykid · 17-06-2015 09:38AM

Picked one up in Maynooth at half 8 last night. (the last one)
Box was opened but everything appears to be there. Havent fired it up yet but looking forward to it. Ive been wanting a fryer for a long time but hate the mess of a deep fat fryer.
I presume these things are way cleaner than the oil fryers?

zarquon · 17-06-2015 05:17PM

Picked up one in Lidl on headford rd galway. Still 5 more left there

glineli · 17-06-2015 08:00PM

Picked one up in Ennis just now, there was 5 left. Gort only got 2 and both were gone
