Do the fries taste as good as fries cooked in oil?

yes, we have only tried French fries in it but are going to try shrimp next.

Honestly I love love love this! Frozen fries come out spectacular!! I still have yet to try making my own and figure out how much oil to add. But for an extra crispiness, even a teaspoon or 2 goes a long way. All in all, it's the best thing you could have especially for the price! I have also made fried chicken with bread crumbs or tempura crumbs, and it's amazing I tell you!

You see, nothing non fried will ever taste as great as something fried, but things cooked in this device are pretty good. Frozen fries are almost as good. What I like the most is that it's simpler than frying, and after a while using the machine it even gets faster.

If your measure is McD's - no. However, we truly enjoy the crispy fries produced by the Jet Fry. Best results we have had are on frozen fries. We have tried homemade sprayed with olive oil, but they came out a bit limp. Results are so good on frozen fries we have not tried the homemade again. Makes great (from frozen) egg rolls, fish sticks, wings, and mini-tacos. Fried cheese made a mess. My wife says this is the best purchase I made for the kitchen last year.

No, they really don't. They come out pretty dry. I gave a review on this and said I probably would not purchase it again. One major priblem is it blows the hot air out the back spitting grease all over whatever is in back of it. Hope this helps. Karen

I like the French Frys. They will get crispy if you leave them long enough, but you must watch so they don't burn.

It doesn't use any oil. It's fast to cook and the fries come crispy. I've bought it. It's great!!!

i reuse the oil for some things like french fries. anything fishy i dispose of the oil after one use. with french fries, i reuse oil several times - as much as 4. the fryer does not overheat the oil so it does not break down. also, i remove any small pieces of fries so it doesnt sit in the oil between uses. i really like this fryer but it does have one drawback - you cannot lift the basket and set it on the rim to drain - you have to hold it for a few minutes or put the food immediately on paper towels. i like to "air drain" personally but this may not matter to everyone. overall, i really like the fryer and use it often. i reuse the oil for some things like french fries. anything fishy i dispose of the oil after one use. with french fries, i reuse oil several times - as much as 4. the fryer does not overheat the oil so it does not break down. also, i remove any small pieces of fries so it doesnt sit in the oil between uses. i really like this fryer but it does have one drawback - you cannot lift the basket and set it on the rim to drain - you have to hold it for a few minutes or put the food immediately on paper towels. i like to "air drain" personally but this may not matter to everyone. overall,... » Read More i reuse the oil for some things like french fries. anything fishy i dispose of the oil after one use. with french fries, i reuse oil several times - as much as 4. the fryer does not overheat the oil so it does not break down. also, i remove any small pieces of fries so it doesnt sit in the oil between uses. i really like this fryer but it does have one drawback - you cannot lift the basket and set it on the rim to drain - you have to hold it for a few minutes or put the food immediately on paper towels. i like to "air drain" personally but this may not matter to everyone. overall, i really like the fryer and use it often. « Show Less

My husband fried some eggs with it and I thought they would taste terrible and said so. He informed me he always used coconut oil when he friend eggs and I ate them and never noticed. So, since I have a strong sense of taste and smell I would say you will not notice a coconut taste when you fry with it.

Absolutely! Anything you fry in it, you have to apply your own judgment by checking in on the status from time to time. I fry everything with it, from fish to chicken, to turkey. Make sure you fry in the garage with the door open or outside besides the building. The smell is not fully filtered out.

In my opinion the Philips Air Fryer is excellent. I have prepared various foods and all turned out great (chicken, nuggets, hamburger, kibe...). I use much more than the microwave. Besides being easy and convenient, the food does not lose quality, are tasty and healthy.

YES It has such a mild flavor so it imparts no other taste then the food and its healthy for you too! I would not go on such a diet of fried foods but on the occasion for a special treat absolutely use this for all your frying not just deep frying.

Honestly, it's the best thing I've bought in years, cooking wise. It's a lot faster than the C.O. for a "fry" and the taste is just as good! I think it's almost as good as frying in oil! I use it daily for battered fish or chicken, potatos, veggies, everything! One GREAT machine! I love it! I've had a few friends buy it after a cooked for them using it. So it's def a VERY POSITIVE review!

i don't think so as it comes in a packet that includes oil which says to me it is made to be cooked in oil

Absolutely not. There is no oil. At most I spray just a little garlic infused oil lightly on my fries. The timing is practice. I love mine. I don't order restaurant sweet potato fries anymore I make my own from frozen. Delicious

I am new to the deep frying thing, so could you recommend the "right" oil? Thanks!

I have used the oil 3 times before I discarded it. Any the used oil was still great! I really enjoy my deep fryer.

I used this oil for everything I love it your food is so flavorful. I would use it in a deep fryer

you can chew as is. I sometimes oil and salt them, a little more tastier. they are not very bitter at all so they are easier to consume.
