By Castro Cruz and Gift Khosa Gone are the days when frying pans and deep fryers were the only means of frying food. A magnificent kitchen appliance has been launched by Philips. It is the Airfryer, as the name suggests it fries food with air. At first we didn’t quite get the idea behind it, but soon after unboxing this magnificent piece of technology it all made sense. The Airfryer is available in two colors metallic white and blazing black. I have the blazing black one. Personally, we thought nothing would ever replace the “frying pan”, but after making my first meal with the Airfryer I literally said goodbye to my frying pan. This product uses touch technology to switch it on and off as well as to adjust heat levels and cooking time.

In today’s world where people are concerned about eating healthier meals, the Airfryer just compliments th...
