What do you mean, I cant observe my food while its cooking?
Then I dont want it.
Ive never looked forward to air frying more.
Spoiler alert: the Philips 2000 Series air fryer is one of thebest air fryersIve ever used.
Thankfully, though, Philips has answered my prayers with the 2000 Series air fryer.
This affordable gadget has an 8 x 4 inch window (complete with light!)
so you’re able to always keep an eye on whats going on inside.
I found this not only entertaining but useful when roasting a whole chicken and heating up party snacks.
I used the 2000 to cook whole meals, veggie snacks, and finger food.
For under $100, too?
I know, it sounds too good to be true.
Find out the whole story in this Phillips 2000 Series air fryer review.
Side-by-side with my Ultenic K10, it is the clear winner in the looks department.
Itd certainly scoop that gold medal should I ever enter both air fryers into a kitchen accessory beauty pageant.
Im literally obsessed with this cooking window.
As an air fryer convert, this has been the one thing missing from my life thus far.
This window helped me massively while roasting a chicken and cooking freezer delights.
Now Ive used an air fryer with a window, I dont think I can ever go back.
I tested all of these prefs during testing, which Ill go through below.
The 2000 Series air fryer is compatible with the HomeID app, available oniOSandAndroid.
I use the word compatibleveryloosely: it doesnt connect via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.
I followed a recipe from the HomeID app for frozen salmon filets.
As recommended on the app, I cooked the frozen salmon for 15 minutes at 350F.
As part of standard Toms Guides air fryer testing, I roasted a whole chicken.
I bought a 2.9 pound bird and rubbed it with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
I put it in the air fryer upside-down for 20 minutes at 350F, then 18 minutes upright.
Im vegetarian, so my boyfriend had to do the taste testing for me.
He reported that the meat was delicious, juicy, and perfectly cooked.
This is a big 10/10 score for the Philips 2000 Series.
After a whole roast chicken, I cooked up some jalapeno poppers.
Hedidgive me permission to quote him, though.
I also made my own fries from scratch.
I cut two whole potatoes into about 12-inch thick strips.
I tossed them in olive oil, salt, pepper, and a little smoked paprika.
I put them on the fresh fries setting, which automatically runs for 41 minutes at 350.
After just 18 minutes, I had a bowl full of delicious crispy fries with absolutely no floppiness.
Now onto the more avant-garde prefs: breakfast and cake.
Breakfast is effectively just for toast, which is simple enough to master.
The cake setting recommends 60 minutes of 280F, but thats wildly different from recommended cookie prefs.
However, when I set it with no preset mode, I was reminded to shake.
The $79 Ultenic K10 air fryer reminds you to shake halfway, but only during preset cooking.
Its 2dB louder than my Ultenic K10, which topped out at 65dB during testing.
Still, it doesfeellike it’s louder than just 67dB.
I found that chicken grease, burnt-on chips, and crumbs washed away easily.
Changing cooking controls is super easy thanks to the responsive touch controls and bright LED screen.
But what makes the 2000 Seriessogood is the window.
I dont think my electric oven is ever getting turned on again.
I am a true Philips 2000 Series air fryer convert.
