Happy Sunday! Thank you for doing the comparison! I have a cuisinart air fryer toaster oven and find that I have to flip the wings half way through to get it crispy. I have both of your instant pot ebooks. They’re so great! Thank you for sharing your home and life with the world. :)
Having the pan to catch drippings was why it didn’t get super crispy, cook without it and you’ll have better results, I had to learn that when I first got mine. :)
Doesn’t the toaster oven have a thin pullout drip tray at the bottom? Ours does it’s hard to notice since it’s pretty much flat, that would help it cool at a normal time
Hi Flo, I recently bought the KitchenAid model that you have. I have tried a few settings variations to see if I could boost the crispyness factor that seems to be lacking on this model. The settings variations that gave me the best results for surface crispyness are as follows: 1. A thin coat of vegetable oil ( I used olive oil) over any meat or vegetable. 2. Set the dial to Broil at 450 degrees in combination with the convection button for the duration of the cook. It seems counter intuitive but I found this setting variation gives me a better golden brown crispyness on the cook. I was worried that by using the Broiler setting instead of the Air Fryer may cause burning and the cooking process to become smokey. That is not the case when the Broiler setting is used in conjunction with the Convection button. The convection airflow circulation prevents the broiler from burning whatever is in the basket or tray on the higher rung level. I hope this helps. Let me know if you’ve tried other variations of your own. Regards, Noel from Montreal
I think part of the issue might be you didn't let the Kitchenaid preheat long enough, assuming you just did it for the 2 minutes the Phillips took. The Kitchenaid has a way larger cook area, and because its a oven it will take longer to preheat than a dedicated air fryer.
How long does it take to preheat to 425 degrees? I'm thinking about getting one of these. Wish it had quartz elements though. If it gets hot I guess it doesn't matter. I just had a walmart brand Mainstays 6 slice oven. It was terrible. Takes forever to get to even 300 degrees. Took over 30 minutes to cook a tostinos.
For what I could see the kitchen aide wings were not turned around and the air fryer ones were, and that together with having the trays underneath can make a big difference.
You cooked in the KitchenAid more wings then you did at one time then in the air fryer I think that would make a difference in the browning Being you are comparing it just makes common sense
Had the tray been placed on the very bottom of the machine where it belongs it would have done a much better job. It was placed too close to the wings and thus blocked some of the heat.
I love my Kitchen Aid; it's ver6 versatile and when Air Frying you can easily make the wings as crispy as you want by adjusting settings. This Kitchen Aid is the best bang for the buck imo.
The kitchen aid air fryer oven is a more versatile fryer. And I think it goes up higher than 400 degrees, so turn the heat up for the wings, and it does have a broiler to brown the wings. Another plus for the kitchen aid is it doesn't sound like a jet engine running in your kitchen.
Your results were what I expected. I have a B&D toaster oven /airfryer and I am happy with it. Though I believe the results are better in a stand-alone airfryer I just do not want another bulky appliance in my house. Thanks so much for doing the test.
That’s my situation. I’ve been interested in an air fryer but we don’t have extra counter space to add a separate appliance. I just bought it because it proofs, dehydrates etc. but haven’t used it yet. Now I’m wondering how difficult it is to clean the Kitchen Aid?
My thoughts exactly, I need an appliance that will serve multiple purposes. Need the proof and dehydrate functions, as well as air frying. May wait a few more months and see if anything new hits the market. Also have noticed a few new ranges that include an air frying cycle, my current range is 21 years old and could use replacing. Hmmm how do I decide...
@@nancyhunt2750 I bought the KitchenAid one as same here, I don't have the counter space. I had a Philips, but that "spaceship" was too big for my small kitchen, and I had to keep it in the storage room, and it was so loud. I needed a multi-purpose appliance, and I love my KitchenAid as it toasts, much better to use the reheat feature for leftovers such as pizza slices or some fried dish as the microwave will make it mush, or if I only want to do 6 muffins and don't want to turn on the oven. Plus it has a dehydrate feature which I'm trying out today with some habanero peppers. I do plan to order an extra basket, crumb tray, and rack, as I don't know if this model will at some point be discontinued, so I want to have those just in case something gets burned on food, drippings I can't get off. I put bacon in there, but I use the pan and rack for that, and I put foil paper to line the pan and stick up about an inch in the front to keep the grease from splashing on the glass. I would suggest after it cools down, to unplug it, and clean it with non-chemical type of degreaser such as Method Heavy Duty, or Young Living brand (essential oils) mixture of their Thieves cleaner, as I won't use a heavy chemical cleanser, as I'm not sure if that smell will get in my food.
Not sure where the heating elements are on the KitchenAid but could you put a sheet of heavy aluminum foil at the bottom to catch the drippings instead of the pan? This would allow the air to flow better.
The kitchen aid comes with a different drip pan too. That would’ve probably helped the crispness. Also I find when you let the kitchen air preheat first it works better I have a kitchen aid toaster/airfryer and I have a instapot air fryer. They both have multiple settings but when my friends ask I basically tell them that the kitchen aid is a toaster oven that can air fry. But if I’m going to air fry a lot of stuff I use my instapot airfryer. I love that the kitchen aid has bagel setting and I’ve dehydrated in the kitchen aid .
i have the delonghi quartz heat convection toaster oven and i have the ninja foodi xl grill/air fryer side by side on my counter. the delonghi toaster over doesnt air fry but it comes with a basket similar to your kitchenaid. the problem with trying to air-fry in a toaster oven is it is not a good holder of heat as opposed to the more vacuum-like build of the phillips. the ninja foodi xl grill/air fryer does a great job at air frying for two reasons, it is almost a complete vaccum when it is closed, and also the air-fry basket is not just a thin wire-mesh basket...it is a metal basket with cutouts that gets hot and aids in the cooking process. if you wonder why the wings in the phillips are more crispy its because the wings are contacting more surface than the wings from the kitchenaid that are sitting on thin wire-mesh...the wire-mesh doesnt aid in cooking the meat, whereby more surface contact of the phillips gets hot and helps fry the meat. also, yes the pan under the mesh basket in the kitchenaid is going to lessen the air-fry affect and increase your cooking time. great video by you . thanks for posting it.
Thank You for doing this . I have a Phillips air fryer and Yes I also have to do two patches. But after seeing your test . I will stick with the airfryer from Phillips . Thank you Dude for “the taste “ . May God bless your Family . 🙏😇😘
You’ve had time to work with the Philips. Give yourself time to work with the Kitchenaid. I bet with a little time and tweaking the crispiness will improve. As always, thank you two for a great video. - jim
I agree. People who do these side-by-side tests use a convection oven versus an air fryer. The concept is the same, but how big of an area you're cooking in makes all the difference. A smaller area will cook faster than a larger area. Times will be shorter with an air fryer, but not too much space to cook in, whereas a convection oven cooks longer, but has more space for food.
With the drip tray right under basket you have to flip choix OR lower drip tray and place basket on rack. They flipped phillips... But not kitchenaide oven.
Great video. I think the tray under the wings didn't make the hot air circulate properly. Maybe take the tray out and and put aluminum foil on the bottom. 😀
Love the comparison, Phillips looks crispier to me. But.. every video I watch talks about how crispy the wings are on the outside and no one ever mentions checking the temp of the chicken for doneness....
Fan forced? The Cusineart air fryer is just a small fan forced oven. Upgrading your existing oven would be as good and possibly cheaper. There are many types of Phillips Air Fryers. Basically there is a small and a large within this you can chose analog or digital (which has more menu options). The latest philips air fryers claim no warm up time.
It looked very tasty but I wander what the use of an airfryer is if you use 2 spoons of oil and a quarter butter for the sauce . Then I prefer to use a tupperware : no fat at all . But dryer , I agree
Great Video. I have the XL Philips air fryer the nice thing is you clean it after each use, there is no cleaning to put off cleaning like there is in a toaster oven. The cleaning is very quick The down side is that the cleaning is a deterrent and is an issue for some. One could add more wings and stir them more frequently. I would prefer to fry a few minutes longer than what I viewed here, for extra crunch
I’m not surprised the Philips did better. In my experience, devices that do multiple functions tend to not do any of them very well. Thankfully, the KitchenAid seems to do ok.
Hi Flo and Dude you might just want to consider a little extra time in the Kitchen aid. I have a Emeril 360 XL (which is similar to the Kitchen aid) and I like my wings very crispy, so I use the bake setting with the air on 425 for 45 minutes rotating the 2 baskets every 15 minutes and it is perfect. So just think 48 wings in 45 minutes.
I would say that you all are going to get the best service out of the Philips air fryer as the other one didn't seem to cook the wings that great to me.
The placement of the cake pan as a drip tray blocked the lower elements from cooking the wings. Without the use of this pan the cook will improve greatly.
@@slepine001 yeah. I totally agree. I should have updated my post. We returned ours to Costco. We weren’t happy with it at all. It was more of a smoke fryer.
Hi Flo and Dude, thank you for another great video 👍I think for two people, the Phillips wins hands down, but for larger families, I know you need to get dinner on the table fast. My kids are all out of the house, so I think the Phillips is for us.
Also (generally) no preheating with the Phillips, I have the XXL one for bigger amounts and most of the accessories, so - cooler kitchen when cooking in summer. All the benefits of an oven, really. Cakes, muffins also can be done. I don't have an issue with the fan noise; it reminds me it's on, because you throw stuff in, and can walk away and in a very short time food is ready. Cleaning isn't difficult either, and I saw another video on You tube re. the Phillips; you can add a little water to the bottom when cooking if meat is very fatty, like sausages, to prevent fuming and speed up the clean up later. I just make sure to wipe all around the upper element and inside every time. It's actually easier to keep clean than my big wall oven.
I got the Ninja Foodi grill which also holds more and it works great. I would spend hours with the Ninja Foodi so it cuts the time in half to use the grill. I also use the grill for steaks, brats, bacon, hot dogs, etc. I do not have the Ninja Foodi Grill XL. I have seen them on You Tube and it is a little roomier. However, I have a small kitchen so I don't see me upgrading. I feed myself and practically 3 grown men (2 teenagers) so the Grill is helpful in that.
May I suggest for more airflow is to remove the second rack and put the tray on the bottom of the Kitchen Aid Air Fryer. This will make the wings crispier.
Thanks for the informative video. We have an old toaster oven. When that goes out, we'll upgrade to the kitchenaid. Agree about the getting larger capacity. Definitely do not want to do multiple batches.
From your most recent video, sounds like you decided to stick with the Phillips over the Kitchenaid, it would be interesting to hear that caused you to make your decision because I am looking for a toaster oven air-fryer.
Lots of love to you from South Africa, Flo and Dude. I was impressed with wings I made for the first time today in the Philips XXL airfryer, but we have a small family so the capacity is really fine. Keep bringing us flava!
Like your videos! You focus on the food and the camera and my eyes have time to adjust the sharpness. And your way of describing is calm and clear! Thank you, guys! :)
I had a cuisinart but it was too small to take a spatchcock chicken from Trader Joe’s which was under 2 pounds. So I got one that is still an oven but is taller from Sam’s. I’ve been much happier with it than the cuisinart. Power Air Fryer Pro Plus. It comes with rotisserie and a fry basket too. I really like it. It cleans easily and the door comes off to clean.
I think if you left the wings in the Kitchen Aid for a longer duration of time say about 3 minutes longer they would have darkened just like the Phillips. The time period is just a rough setting you can always extend the cooking time. What do you think?
Thanks! Great video. Love my Philips AF. FYI, The Evo sprayer on Amazon is ranging from $20-$25. Including the stainless steel one. I agree, I couldn't justify paying $40 but I added it to my shopping list on Amazon and when a lightening deal comes up and your item is in a "add to list" you get notified. That's when I purchased my Evo cost me $15 on a lightening deal. 👍😊
considering you had to do a second batch with the phyllips i'd say it took twice as long to cook the same amount of wings for a little bit crisper. so just cook the kitchenaid wings another ten minutes and you're cutting your time while acheiving the same crispyness.
I always learn something when I’m watching your shows! Dude may be right about that drip pan. I am wondering if you just put a layer of foil in the bottom of the KitchenAid the convection may work better but still allow you to clean up. This is just my opinion because I have no room for either in my tiny kitchen😋
Thanks for another great video. I just got a Instant Omni Plus and am experimenting with it too . So far am happy with it and gave away the Power Air Fryer Oven which I loved, but like you and the Philip's, I found it too small. My kitchen is too small for both and even the Power Air Fryer and the old smaller toaster oven (that died recently) took up way too much counter space. That’s why I went with a multi function toaster oven/fryer. I think that they all just take a certain amount of getting used to and I am sure that the Kitchenaid will work out just fine once you get used to it. Like all the Instant Pot appliances, the instructions and manual that came with it is terrible and provides very little information , so TH-cam has been a great help. Looking forward to more videos with your Kitchenaid as it looks similar to the Instant Omni. Just wondering, could you put the drip pan down lower so that the air circulates more easily? Dude, your finger looks like that must’ve hurt, Ouch!! All the best.
The drip pan DID interfere. Try another test @ 400, but put baking paper on the bottom of the enclosure., (lower temp to prevent combustion). If the paper flies, (due to convection), then just secure it with a couple of baking weights. My bet is that you will get a much different result.
Well, Flo, since the Kitchenaid is twice the price of the Philips air fryer, I'd think about just getting a second Philips to go alongside your first one. The air fryer function is the primary goal after all, and this would double your volume.
This was so useful. Honestly the kitchen aid wings looked a little anemic. Not sure if they looked better in real life. I think for now I'll just stick with my large capacity air fryer since it's just me. I just wish sometimes I could turn off the fan. It's not fun when you can start to hear the toast flying around in the air fryer, lol.
I’m my experience, our airfryer is the cuisineart which is similar to the Kitchen Aid. Halfway cooking the wings, you should turn them Over and spray it again.
Difference between one batch on kitchen aid Versus 2 batches on Phillips was 7 minutes. Just start eating the first batch and the second batch will be ready before you’ve got through the first batch. Quality versus 7 minutes.
Due to the extremely high cost of wings these days I prefer to pick up legs (drumsticks) and do them just like wings. Sometimes it gets difficult finding small legs but either way you can get three times as much for the same price.
Thanks so much for doing this test! Very interesting results. As other people have mentioned, devices that try and do multiple things are never as good as a device designed specifically for one function. Looking forward to more tasty tests!
I have a "What if" for you... What if you put the fryer basket on the upper slot, and then your drip pan on the bottom slot? Giving more circulation of Heat/Air? I think I'll try that idea. But, what do I know? I wanted to try Coconut Shrimp the for my Madian Dish. I was so excited to try one of my cook friends recipe, which was dip in Butter milk-dip in flour-dip in Butter Milk-then dip in Coconut.... The Shrimp turned out like Crap! and when I took my first bite, Wait For it... I forgot to peel the Shrimp! Sometimes it's fun to be able to laugh at yourself. Right?
I would have taken the bottom rack out of the Kitchen Aid Fryer and put the dripping tray on the bottom of the fryer that way you have a better airflow around the chicken.
Hi, I have a question. When you are using the airfrying on Kitchenaid, can you use the convection feature at the same time, as well? That may help, too. Thank you.
If you are looking for an airfryer that has a large capacity basket Katie Hespe did a vlog on her new Secura Max 6.3QT AirFryer by Elechome. She couldn’t believe the overall browning and crispness of her food in this airfryer.
We recently bought a Kaloric Maxx to replace our Phillips for the same reason. We do use the drop tray, but it sits just above the bottom elements and we've not seen the difference that you did. We have found it doesn't really toast bread well, as it dries it out considerably. We have 2 slots for the tray when airfrying, but found the highest one, for fast airfrying, doesn't crisp like the next lower one. We still have to turn/flip food items, but overall, we've been really happy, given the expense.
Yese the tray impedes air flow. Play a sheet of foil in the bottom of oven beneath heating element. You should cook a few minutes longer too. You'll get the same results
The most convenient way to flour the wings or any other chicken pieces, in my opinion, is to place the flour in a 1 gallon ziplock bag and fill the bag halfway with chicken pieces and shake away. The chicken comes out well coated and your 2 pounds of chicken can be done in just 2 batches in no time And I agree with you, buying an oil mister is just a :want" a kitchen toy that is not necessary.
Can you please review the Kitchenaid's dehydrate function? I'm on the verge of deciding to go with this model and am very intrigued! Thanks in advance.
Hello Flo! Does your Philips Airfryer reach the actual temperature you set it to? I feel like mine is always under temperature. I put an oven thermometer, run it for 15-20 mins in the Philips Airfryer at 200c, but it's only reaching 163c max.
Yiiikkkeeess so what you probably should have done is take the bottom rack out completely and put the dripping tray on the floor /bottom/base of the air fryer... (KitchenAid).. The show must go on.. LOL
I have a convection oven/air crisper and watched this to see how it would work for wings and I have not used the air fryer part of the oven. I would have broil them for a minute or 2 to get crispier.
but then again dedicated air fryers are generally smaller than an air fryer oven.. hence it is hotter... also.. try the kitchenaid without the tray... because kitchenaid have a removal bottom catcher right?
But the problem is not the catcher, the problem with air fryer oves is the heating element below, since they are ovens they have heating elements on top and below, I would recommend leaving the tray but instead turning the wings, as with a regular air fryer, after 50% or 60% of the total time. So I would do 15 minutes then turn the wings an leave them for another 10 to 15 minutes.
Air fry wings are almost as good as the real thing. Let’s see how the KitchenAid does. Happy Sunday! 💕
Happy Sunday! Thank you for doing the comparison! I have a cuisinart air fryer toaster oven and find that I have to flip the wings half way through to get it crispy.

I think part of the issue might be you didn't let the Kitchenaid preheat long enough, assuming you just did it for the 2 minutes the Phillips took. The Kitchenaid has a way larger cook area, and because its a oven it will take longer to preheat than a dedicated air fryer.
With the kitchen aid you have to bump recommended temps up 25-50 degrees for the extra crispiness. Figured that out early in my ownership
This is also true for the larger model as well.
Does it smoke at the sides??
How long does it take to preheat to 425 degrees? I'm thinking about getting one of these. Wish it had quartz elements though. If it gets hot I guess it doesn't matter. I just had a walmart brand Mainstays 6 slice oven. It was terrible. Takes forever to get to even 300 degrees. Took over 30 minutes to cook a tostinos.
For what I could see the kitchen aide wings were not turned around and the air fryer ones were, and that together with having the trays underneath can make a big difference.
Even the kitchenaid manual says for wet foods like meat it needs to be turned in the air fryer.
I like the Phillips. I remember when I visited HK back in 2007-8 I saw the Phillips sign right in Victoria Harbour
You cooked in the KitchenAid more wings then you did at one time then in the air fryer I think that would make a difference in the browning Being you are comparing it just makes common sense
Had the tray been placed on the very bottom of the machine where it belongs it would have done a much better job. It was placed too close to the wings and thus blocked some of the heat.
Flo, A silicone baking mat on the crumb tray might make for easier cleaning. They can handle pretty high heat.
I love my Kitchen Aid; it's ver6 versatile and when Air Frying you can easily make the wings as crispy as you want by adjusting settings. This Kitchen Aid is the best bang for the buck imo.
Another option with kitchenaid is to airfry and when done, turn on the broil setting just for a tiny bit to add that crunch.

I use a Philips air fryer and i am always happy with the results
I do my wings in a regular oven at 500F, for five minutes per side. Easy peasy.

Do they come out as crispy as the Philips? Thank you
I personally prefer d Philip Air fryer. It’s kinda neat and no mess or drippings. Thanks for sharing the recipe, Flo. Enjoy your demo 👍😍

@@James_48 but what a mess without the pan...
@@slepine001 yeah. I totally agree. I should have updated my post. We returned ours to Costco. We weren’t happy with it at all. It was more of a smoke fryer.
Hi Flo and Dude, thank you for another great video 👍I think for two people, the Phillips wins hands down, but for larger families, I know you need to get dinner on the table fast. My kids are all out of the house, so I think the Phillips is for us.
Also (generally) no preheating with the Phillips, I have the XXL one for bigger amounts and most of the accessories, so - cooler kitchen when cooking in summer. All the benefits of an oven, really. Cakes, muffins also can be done. I don't have an issue with the fan noise; it reminds me it's on, because you throw stuff in, and can walk away and in a very short time food is ready. Cleaning isn't difficult either, and I saw another video on You tube re. the Phillips; you can add a little water to the bottom when cooking if meat is very fatty, like sausages, to prevent fuming and speed up the clean up later. I just make sure to wipe all around the upper element and inside every time. It's actually easier to keep clean than my big wall oven.
I got the Ninja Foodi grill which also holds more and it works great. I would spend hours with the Ninja Foodi so it cuts the time in half to use the grill. I also use the grill for steaks, brats, bacon, hot dogs, etc. I do not have the Ninja Foodi Grill XL. I have seen them on You Tube and it is a little roomier. However, I have a small kitchen so I don't see me upgrading. I feed myself and practically 3 grown men (2 teenagers) so the Grill is helpful in that.
You have to flip chix in larger toaster oven sir fryer.
Or fry w only basket on rack . and drip tray lowered so air circulates around chix. .
May I suggest for more airflow is to remove the second rack and put the tray on the bottom of the Kitchen Aid Air Fryer. This will make the wings crispier.
The tray would then rest on the 2 cross elements 👎🏻
Thanks for the informative video. We have an old toaster oven. When that goes out, we'll upgrade to the kitchenaid. Agree about the getting larger capacity. Definitely do not want to do multiple batches.
Right?! Will keep trying to make the wings better in the KitchenAid!
Take a look at the ninja dual basket air fryer
From your most recent video, sounds like you decided to stick with the Phillips over the Kitchenaid, it would be interesting to hear that caused you to make your decision because I am looking for a toaster oven air-fryer.
Lots of love to you from South Africa, Flo and Dude. I was impressed with wings I made for the first time today in the Philips XXL airfryer, but we have a small family so the capacity is really fine. Keep bringing us flava!
Are air fryers safe to use
There were some that caught on fire when used
Like your videos! You focus on the food and the camera and my eyes have time to adjust the sharpness. And your way of describing is calm and clear! Thank you, guys! :)
I had a cuisinart but it was too small to take a spatchcock chicken from Trader Joe’s which was under 2 pounds. So I got one that is still an oven but is taller from Sam’s. I’ve been much happier with it than the cuisinart. Power Air Fryer Pro Plus. It comes with rotisserie and a fry basket too. I really like it. It cleans easily and the door comes off to clean.
Come si chiama questo forno quanto è grande.. Grazie
I think if you left the wings in the Kitchen Aid for a longer duration of time say about 3 minutes longer they would have darkened just like the Phillips. The time period is just a rough setting you can always extend the cooking time. What do you think?
Also, the KitchenAid already has a removable tray at the bottom, adding the second tray hindered the air fryer.
Yep... will keep trying different things to make it better.
Thanks! Great video. Love my Philips AF. FYI, The Evo sprayer on Amazon is ranging from $20-$25. Including the stainless steel one. I agree, I couldn't justify paying $40 but I added it to my shopping list on Amazon and when a lightening deal comes up and your item is in a "add to list" you get notified. That's when I purchased my Evo cost me $15 on a lightening deal. 👍😊
I’m in Canada. 🇨🇦 Everything is more expensive here! 😩 But good tip on waiting for a lightning deal!
Good one. I have a smaller air fryer, am on the fence between a new larger one and the Kitchenaid......
considering you had to do a second batch with the phyllips i'd say it took twice as long to cook the same amount of wings for a little bit crisper. so just cook the kitchenaid wings another ten minutes and you're cutting your time while acheiving the same crispyness.
I always learn something when I’m watching your shows! Dude may be right about that drip pan. I am wondering if you just put a layer of foil in the bottom of the KitchenAid the convection may work better but still allow you to clean up. This is just my opinion because I have no room for either in my tiny kitchen😋
lol
lol 😝
Thanks for another great video. I just got a Instant Omni Plus and am experimenting with it too . So far am happy with it and gave away the Power Air Fryer Oven which I loved, but like you and the Philip's, I found it too small. My kitchen is too small for both and even the Power Air Fryer and the old smaller toaster oven (that died recently) took up way too much counter space. That’s why I went with a multi function toaster oven/fryer. I think that they all just take a certain amount of getting used to and I am sure that the Kitchenaid will work out just fine once you get used to it. Like all the Instant Pot appliances, the instructions and manual that came with it is terrible and provides very little information , so TH-cam has been a great help. Looking forward to more videos with your Kitchenaid as it looks similar to the Instant Omni. Just wondering, could you put the drip pan down lower so that the air circulates more easily? Dude, your finger looks like that must’ve hurt, Ouch!! All the best.
You have an eagle eye. Yup, fingers and steel doors don't mix.
Thankyou I’ve been thinking about buying an air fryer. This info is very helpful
The drip pan DID interfere. Try another test @ 400, but put baking paper on the bottom of the enclosure., (lower temp to prevent combustion). If the paper flies, (due to convection), then just secure it with a couple of baking weights. My bet is that you will get a much different result.
Have you compared the kitchen aid air fryer oven to the ninja air fryer toaster oven?
Well, Flo, since the Kitchenaid is twice the price of the Philips air fryer, I'd think about just getting a second Philips to go alongside your first one. The air fryer function is the primary goal after all, and this would double your volume.
You could try putting the drip tray in the very bottom of the oven, that way it will have more circulation.
This was so useful. Honestly the kitchen aid wings looked a little anemic. Not sure if they looked better in real life. I think for now I'll just stick with my large capacity air fryer since it's just me. I just wish sometimes I could turn off the fan. It's not fun when you can start to hear the toast flying around in the air fryer, lol.
🤣 Toast flying around?! LOL And yes... the KitchenAid wings looked a little anemic in real life too!
Yes did not care for the color looked still raw
Hey Flo, this video came to mind today because you were contemplating a bigger Philips AirFryer. The XXL was on sale today for Prime Day.
Thanks! I looked... still $400 in 🇨🇦!!!
@@FloLum I got for $319.00 plus tax. CAN. Darn, I should have messaged you then.
It’s ok... I really don’t need more things. Thanks again for thinking of me! 🥰
I would try pulling the bottom rack and dropping the drip pan that distance so the wings can get more air flow
I've been using Phillipes for 9 moths now and it has really good quality.
I’m my experience, our airfryer is the cuisineart which is similar to the Kitchen Aid. Halfway cooking the wings, you should turn them
Over and spray it again.
You didn’t need the cornstarch at all.
Difference between one batch on kitchen aid Versus 2 batches on Phillips was 7 minutes. Just start eating the first batch and the second batch will be ready before you’ve got through the first batch.
Quality versus 7 minutes.
Due to the extremely high cost of wings these days I prefer to pick up legs (drumsticks) and do them just like wings. Sometimes it gets difficult finding small legs but either way you can get three times as much for the same price.
Thanks so much for doing this test! Very interesting results. As other people have mentioned, devices that try and do multiple things are never as good as a device designed specifically for one function. Looking forward to more tasty tests!
And now I'm hungry for wings... Good test, looking forward to more uses of your new toaster oven as you get to know it better.
IKR
Well it’s been a year now….so I’m wondering how the Kitchenaid has worked out? Any crispier wings?
XD
It's really hard to expect the maillard reaction when there's not enough oil. but nonetheless it's really convenient to have these airfryers around :)
I have a "What if" for you... What if you put the fryer basket on the upper slot, and then your drip pan on the bottom slot? Giving more circulation of Heat/Air? I think I'll try that idea. But, what do I know? I wanted to try Coconut Shrimp the for my Madian Dish. I was so excited to try one of my cook friends recipe, which was dip in Butter milk-dip in flour-dip in Butter Milk-then dip in Coconut.... The Shrimp turned out like Crap! and when I took my first bite, Wait For it...
I forgot to peel the Shrimp! Sometimes it's fun to be able to laugh at yourself. Right?
Check the recommended placement for the Kitchenaid basket for air frying.
Keep the Phillips, it also takes up less counter space
Yay, show down yes how exciting.
👍🏼😁
I would have taken the bottom rack out of the Kitchen Aid Fryer and put the dripping tray on the bottom of the fryer that way you have a better airflow around the chicken.
Hey Flo,you want to use a food themometer to make sure your chicken is cooked to a save temperature.Regards/Chris from UK
Just to clarify, the kitchen aid toaster oven isn’t actually marketed as an air fryer right?
Hi, I have a question. When you are using the airfrying on Kitchenaid, can you use the convection feature at the same time, as well? That may help, too. Thank you.
If you are looking for an airfryer that has a large capacity basket Katie Hespe did a vlog on her new Secura Max 6.3QT AirFryer by Elechome. She couldn’t believe the overall browning and crispness of her food in this airfryer.
Great review! Did you ever experiment with the kitchen aid / wings and get different results?
We recently bought a Kaloric Maxx to replace our Phillips for the same reason. We do use the drop tray, but it sits just above the bottom elements and we've not seen the difference that you did. We have found it doesn't really toast bread well, as it dries it out considerably. We have 2 slots for the tray when airfrying, but found the highest one, for fast airfrying, doesn't crisp like the next lower one. We still have to turn/flip food items, but overall, we've been really happy, given the expense.
A very good comparison. Thank you.
What a great comparison video. Thanks Flo !
Everyone in the Caribbean is looking at this like, where's the damn seasoning?
I was just thinking the same... No seasoning... It a nah for me... 🇹🇹🇹🇹
Please don't mistake that all asians are like this.. idk why she make ger wings like this ... Asias is known for their spices
@CordellLouison...you are so right. I'm trini to de bone must have seasoning 🍗🙌
I'm Guyanese and I gotta have my green seasoning
Please put them back in ,and come again. Nope.people eat with their eyes and my eyes said no.
Yese the tray impedes air flow. Play a sheet of foil in the bottom of oven beneath heating element. You should cook a few minutes longer too. You'll get the same results
The most convenient way to flour the wings or any other chicken pieces, in my opinion, is to place the flour in a 1 gallon ziplock bag and fill the bag halfway with chicken pieces and shake away. The chicken comes out well coated and your 2 pounds of chicken can be done in just 2 batches in no time And I agree with you, buying an oil mister is just a :want" a kitchen toy that is not necessary.
Perhaps cooking it a bit longer in the "KitchenAid" may make up for the difference
It can be if both these units are sharing a 15 amp circuit they may be cooking not at capacity.
I would cook them till brown
Can you please review the Kitchenaid's dehydrate function? I'm on the verge of deciding to go with this model and am very intrigued! Thanks in advance.
Thank you for the video but the KitchenAid you should’ve put Aluminum paper in the bottom But thank you I’m going to get the kitchenaid
Great video! It would be cool to test out the instant pot airfryer lid for instant pot and also the instant pot airfryer.
Thank you for this review, now I want to make wings in both devices.
Hello Flo! Does your Philips Airfryer reach the actual temperature you set it to?
I feel like mine is always under temperature. I put an oven thermometer, run it for 15-20 mins in the Philips Airfryer at 200c, but it's only reaching 163c max.
The Evo sprayer in plastic is only $16 at Bed, Bath & Beyond. The metal version is more but they are out.
I clean misto by taking apart and soaking in hot water with a little Clorox. Seems to clear the sprayer well. I wash dry and works well again.
Hello, maybe if you try fliping (turning) the wings in the oven at about 15 minutes and then leaving them for another 10 to 15 minutes.
If you higher the heat with the kitchen aid will it become crunchier?
Yiiikkkeeess so what you probably should have done is take the bottom rack out completely and put the dripping tray on the floor /bottom/base of the air fryer... (KitchenAid).. The show must go on.. LOL
Great! I want to get an air fryer.
I have a convection oven/air crisper and watched this to see how it would work for wings and I have not used the air fryer part of the oven. I would have broil them for a minute or 2 to get crispier.
but then again dedicated air fryers are generally smaller than an air fryer oven.. hence it is hotter... also.. try the kitchenaid without the tray... because kitchenaid have a removal bottom catcher right?
But the problem is not the catcher, the problem with air fryer oves is the heating element below, since they are ovens they have heating elements on top and below, I would recommend leaving the tray but instead turning the wings, as with a regular air fryer, after 50% or 60% of the total time. So I would do 15 minutes then turn the wings an leave them for another 10 to 15 minutes.
this was such a fair and balanced perspective!
do another round but put the drip pan at the bottom of the fryer. No bottom rack
I know a lot of people would never but Pam spray still works
Hi, Flo, In the South you are supposed to make gravy with that extra flour
Enjoyed the presentation....thx for the simple sauce recipe!
Does the Kitchen Aide smell like plastic like the traditional air fryers? In the market for one. Thank you in advance!
Paprika on the wings or adobo to give it color, pale wings just look unappetizing and raw. Thanks for the tip on potato starch, I am adding adobo.
I always put that paprika for color 2
