Philips | How and when to use oil in my Philips Airfryer? (2024)

You can use any kind of grilling/baking/roasting or frying oil in your Philips Airfryer. Besides this, you can also use animal fat.

Please note:

• Only add oil to the ingredients and not directly in the pan of your airfryer.
• Pre-fried food such as frozen French fries, chicken nuggets, spring rolls, etc. do not need extra oil.
• Please do not use cold-pressed oil since it would burn at high temperatures.

Adding oil to homemade potato dishes (such as French fries):

1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into the preferred shape.
2. Soak the potatoes in a bowl with water for at least 30 minutes, take them out, and dry them with kitchen paper.
3. Put half a tablespoon of oil in a bowl. Put the potatoes in the bowl and mix until the potatoes are coated with the oil.
4. Using a kitchen utensil or your hands, put the potatoes in the basket of your airfryer.

Adding oil to larger ingredients (such as drumsticks or meat):

1. Dry the outside of the food with kitchen paper, if necessary.
2. Lightly brush oil onto the outside of the food or use an oil spray. Only coat with 1 layer. Excess oil will drip into the pan of your airfryer during the hot air frying process.

To add oil to homemade breaded dishes:
Either mix some oil to your breadcrumbs before you bread the food or spray/brush some oil to the coat of breadcrumbs afterward.

Tip: You can also marinate meat or poultry instead of brushing oil onto the outside.
