For my birthday, I bought a Multi-function Oil Free Air Fryer 4.5 Liter High Capacity AS513 from Home Zania on Shopee App as a gift to myself.
At the time of purchase, it was priced at ₱ 1,699.00 but with the free shipping voucher plus Shopee store voucher and Shopee coins, I was able to buy it for only ₱ 1,600.00.
According to Wikipedia, an air fryer is a small countertop convection oven designed to simulate deep frying without submerging the food in oil. Air fryers use a circulation of hot air to cook food that would otherwise be submerged in oil. The air fryer’s cooking chamber radiates heat from a heating element near the food, and a fan circulates hot air. Cooking oil is not used in large quantities in an air fryer, as it could burn.
This is why filling the cooking basket/pan with oil should be avoided as it may cause a fire hazard.
I haven’t tried cooking something in it yet but I did preheat it for 30 minutes before first use as suggested. I removed all plastic packaging materials/stickers and wiped the inside pan and drip tray with wet wipes before using it. Also, I had to use a plug adapter to be able to use it because its power plug is three-pronged (Plug type I or AS 3112).
Anyway, I have scanned the cooking time chart and the user manual so I can share it here on my blog (check out below).

if the food you are looking for is not found on the list.
Hopefully, I use it soon for cooking less fatty meals/snacks like marinated chicken or just french fries… and maybe pork belly as well. We’ll see hehe!

Here are some of the food I cooked using this air fryer:
My Personal Rating:
It works great, cooks meat well, and fries potatoes just fine but it is just like any other electric oven, the one with a fan for circulation. I can see this as an optional cooking equipment option for families or those living solo.
