The air fryer has become one of the most important kitchen appliances to hit the market in recent years but is commonly limited by its space constraints, which is something the Philips Airfryer 5000 Series Megabasket is here to solve.
The new appliance is the brand's biggest air fryer yet with a 10-liter basket that can be used as a single cooling chamber or split for multiple recipes. The system has three cooking modes including the classic air frying, but also the steam cooking and the SteamFry technology to work seamlessly with virtually any recipe.
The Philips Airfryer 5000 Series Megabasket takes aim at family cooking and makes the compact countertop appliance realistic for larger meal preparations.
