sparks:just use kitchen towel to wipe itI was a skeptic & have been thinking abt whether to buy this till now. I love gadgets but somehow the comments I've read didn't move me to buy it, mainly because I am happy with my toaster & conventional oven & the fact that some have said it tasted more like bbq than fried. I love fried foods :drool:
Finally, I bought it on impulse. I tried it yesterday:
1) chicken wings (cut into 2 parts) - I followed the recipe which calls for heating @ 160 degrees for 8 min then @ 200 degrees for 4 mins
The wings didn't turn out as crispy & evenly golden brown as I liked.
2) frozen fries - this turns out excellent! Exciting!
3) boneless chicken leg - this turns out even better than using my toaster or conventional ovens! the skin is totally golden brown crisp & the meat remains tender & juicy! very impressed liao! But I tweaked the cooking guide cos my chicken wings didn't turn out great when I followed the cooking guide. I used 200 degree for 12 min & it's perfect.
4) leftover mcwing & fried kidney kuay - reheated this two & they turn out as fresh as just cooked. Unlike when they are reheated in toaster oven which sometimes turns out still sogged in oil.
I have no regrets getting this gadget. I liked the fact that it's no hassle to 'refresh' foods or purge out the oil in fried foods.
I have a qn though - the cleaning instructions didn't mention abt the hot coil above the pan. I can hear oil splattering in the pan during cooking. How do you clean that ?
for those waiting for the price to drop ,
wait a while more as 2 nd version coming soon .
