Top 5 Expensive High End Air Fryer Review (2019)

Crispy fries without all the oil? That’s the golden promise of air fryers, and it probably explains why, in the U.S., about 4 million were sold in just a year. 

Why Air fryers are so expensive and some is so cheap ? What is the differences? Which Air Fryer is best? Does an air fryer really work?

Too many question mark before you start to invest on this kitchen machine. It is important to research and understand the different types of fryers that are available. This could overall, save you money when deciding which one suits your needs best.

Tefal actifry air fryer

Why are they so expensive?
Answer : Digital air fryers are the most expensive type of air fryers. The other reason why they cost more than RM1k is because it includes a touch screen and pre-set programs which enhance the ease of use and consistency the machine. Start cooking in just one touch, who doesn't like the convenience. 

We did a reviews about affordable air fryer too, may visit this page if you are interest to find more information about low-mid price range's air fryers.  

Does Air fryer really works without any oil ?
After trying to fry fries with air fryers, we came out some conclusion about it. The texture and taste was not as good as deep fried result, it is not perfect but taste is absolutely acceptable. However, the guiltiness of having fried food obviously reduced. Might because we use very little oil while cooking the fries, we finish the fries without any worries.

It is not true for the statement of "frying without any oil with air fryer", but to be precise, with air fryer we can fry without excessive / additional oil. The reason is because the meat and frozen food already come with oil in it, but with air fryer, we just dont use additional/ excessive oil to fry it. Without oil they can come out dry, burned, and leathery. Using just a touch of oil will help your food crisp up.

But unlike with traditional frying, where you want your food to be submerged at least partially in oil, in the air fryer you really only need a little bit of oil (1-2 teaspoons for most foods) — more than that can lead to soggy, burned food, and is a fire hazard.

    Let's start with the most common coating available in Malaysia market.

    Non-stick coating is made up from chemical compound called Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), With the teflon coating, the food doesn't stick to it!
    Nonstick cookware can be much healthier than cooking with stainless steel cookware.

    With non stick coating cookware, you can put no oil to little oil to cook food, is lot healthier than cooking with stainless steel. However, still advise not to skip all oil, food cook without any oil doesn't taste good and eating food cooked with proper amount of cooking oil is perfectly fine. 

    Most important, using non-stick cookware make life a lot easier , easy to cook, clean and maintain.

    One of the disadvantage of non-stick coating is the durability and heat resistance ability, user who use non-stick take care the non-stick coating to pro-long the lifespan of the coating. For example, never be overheated the non-stick cookware, low or medium heat is recommended for cookware with Teflon™ nonstick coatings. Do not use metal spatula and avoid cook food with hard shell, which will scratch the coating. There are many more care tips available online. 

    Self experience, average 1-2 years need to get another new non-stick pans. Frequency of usage is 4-5 times a week. 

    Most Popular brand for non-stick cookware in Malaysia :
    - Tefal (from France)
    - Le Creuset (from France)
    - La Gourmet Shogun 

    Others General Tips while choosing pots & pans
    1st, you have to pick up the pan and feel it by your self, look for heavy-gauge materials, hinner-gauge materials spread and hold heat unevenly, and their bottoms are more likely to dent and warp. Ensure handle is sturdy, heatproof, and secure.
    2nd, check on the material of the pots and pans, especially cookware with coating, make sure there are environmental friendly, safe to consume and PFOA free

    3rd, Check on the cookware base, ensure the pots and pans you looking are compatible with the cooking hob in your kitchen. There are varies type of cooking hob in the marketing, for instant like gas, infrared, hot plate, ceramic, induction and etc... Please check your cooking hob before proceed to buy new pots and pan.
    Most common cases happened on induction hob, which shopper may not aware their cooking hob is induction and bought a non compatible pots and pans, at the end the pan not able to heat up by the induction hob. 
    Of course, as a consumer, we can get back the product to seller and exchange another one, but is kinda wasting your time. If you are not sure what type of cooking hob you using in your kitchen, no worries, just proceed to induction compatible pots and pans, because once its compatible with induction, it compatible to all kinds of hob.
    4th, Ensure the size is enough for your family size. Here is some suggestion for picking sizes
    1-2 Pax : 24-26cm diameter
    3-4 Pax : 28- 30cm diameter
    4 Pax & Above : 30cm and above diameter

    We hope we have provided you with information for an informed decision to purchase a wonderful best cookware set.  Happy shopping!
