First of all, stay far away from 2QT. That is way too small. Also, there are some decent cheap brands like Gourmia and Chefman. I actually got a nice Philips 6.6QT pretty cheap ($90 CAD/$65 USD) and I love it. Got my mother an 8QT Chefman for the same price.
5ish minimum. I use mine for just me and I wouldn't want much smaller than my 6.6. A light eater might be ok with like 4QT but I guarantee you will soon wish you had something bigger. Better too big than too small.
I didn’t expect to be impressed by air fryers, but after using one consistently, I get why people hype them. The first thing that made me obsess was how well they replace the oven for small stuff. You can basically take oven instructions, drop the temperature a bit, shorten the time, and it just works. Second thing: reheating food. Leftover pizza, fries, even random takeout gets a second life. The fires and pizza don't become soggy. Third, store-bought doughs. Croissants, cinnamon rolls, frozen pastries. Toss them in and they bake evenly and surprisingly fast. Fourth, meal prep proteins. Chicken thighs, tofu, even salmon. You get good texture and for batch cooking, it’s surprisingly consistent. I didn’t think I’d use it this much, but it’s become part of my routine. I’ve seen a ton of different air fryers online, from Amazon to Alibaba, but honestly the concept matters more than the brand. Curious how others use theirs for meal prep specifically. Any underrated foods that work better in an air fryer than anywhere else? **Edit: Thank you all for your wholesome responses. I'll do a follow up post on recipes. Be on the lookout👀**
Philips 2000 Series, 6.2 L
Phased out model na yung sa akin sa tagal niya 😅 Parang [ito](https://ph.shp.ee/1sbKUad) yata ang newer model, parehong digital and 6.2L capacity siya.
Check jiomart,i bought,6.2 litre one philips one and got 2k rupees less than amazon
I bought 6.2l Philip air fryer, and it has been asking the best decision i have made. I use it everyday for 15 mins to bake chicken. Was pondering for last 2v years whether to buy or not, will it even work, is it even worth? And to my surprise, it's not essential in my kitchen.
Vrijedi svake marke, kod mene je Philips XL 6.2L i super mi je, kupljen u decembru prošle godine i mislim da se nije palio samo kad nisam kod kuće 😂 taj model sam kupila u Austriji za 120€ u Bingu je oko 500BAM što je nenormalna cijena.
