氣炸鍋點揀好？ Princess5合1智能氣炸焗爐開箱 Unboxing Princess Aerofryer

氣炸鍋絕對係香港人最近熱捧既廚具，一時間超市好多相關食材賣，亦多左好多網上評測、食譜等等。小夫妻最近都加入左依個既大家庭了，今次除左嘗試處理一下點揀好既問題，亦會做我地部Princess 5合1智能氣炸焗爐既開箱，等大家買氣炸鍋之前都可以參考下有咩值得考慮既地方。

Aerofryer is gaining its popularity in recent years. Not only do we see lots of related food ingredients at supermarkets, there are also many reviews and recipes online. We have recently joined the family of aerofryer and in this article we would like to share our criteria of choosing an aerofryer and the unboxing of the aerofryer we have. Check it out!

氣炸鍋點揀好？ How to Choose an Aerofryer?

氣炸鍋既原理其實好簡單直接，佢就係用發熱線同風扇去形成高溫氣流，令食物水份蒸發走，亦逼出食物本身既油份，產生油炸效果。

既然當中唔涉及咩高科技，咁市面上林林種種既選擇應該點揀好？係咪揀一個最基本最平既就夠做？就住依個問題，我地整合左以下可以考慮既因素。

The mechanism behind an aerofryer is fairly straight forward. It creates high temperature air current by heater and fan to evaporate water particles in food. Oil on the outside of food becomes more concentrated and with high heat, texture of food is as if it’s fried.

No high tech is actually involved in the process. Is it to say we can simply choose any aerofryer that’s cheap enough to do the work? Not really. Let’s take a look at the below summary of criteria we can consider while purchasing an aerofryer.

容量 Volume

容量細既2、3、4公升都有，而樓下介紹既Princess氣炸鍋有11公升，算係超大容量。容量細既只能應付細份量小食，而大既就可以玩多d唔同既野，成隻雞放入去燒，或者一次過分幾層食物去煮應付派對所需都得。

An aerofryer can be as small as just having 2-4L of capacity while the Princess aerofryer we are to introduce below has 11L of capacity which is super large. A small aerofryer can only cater small portion of food while a larger one is also able to have a wider spectrum of functions like air frying a chicken or multiple racks of snacks for party.

氣流均勻 Even Airflow

依點其實幾重要，因為係直接影響食物好唔好食。由於氣炸鍋原理係用熱風吹熟食物，本身鍋內結構係咪營造到均勻氣流，會直接決定食物係咪炸得平均。

通常細細部既氣炸鍋都無乜導風結構設計，食物只受到上層吹出既熱風去煮熟，容易做成上面濃下面唔熟既情況，要有較好既烹調效果就要過程中拎食物去黎翻轉先得。至於導風設計比較好既氣炸鍋，除左製熱均勻，亦唔洗係中途拎出食物翻轉。

This point is actually important as it directly affects whether the food will be tasty or not. As an aerofryer uses hot airflow to cook the food, whether the airflow is even or not will directly affect how the food is cooked.

Normally a small aerofryer has no special design for even airflow. Chance is like the upper surface of the food is charred but the lower part is still undercooked. To have better cooking result, you may need to flip the food amid cooking. On the other hand, if the aerofryer has better aerodynamics, not only is the food cooked evenly, we also don’t need to flip the food during cooking.

清潔難度 Difficulty in Cleaning

氣炸焗比起焗爐既好處係較輕便(同焗爐比)同煮食速度快，不過我地認為最大既缺點就係清潔唔方便，尤其係細細部既氣炸鍋，伸手可及既位置少，比較難做清潔。買之前最好留意下部機係咪有方便清潔既設計。

Some advantages of an aerofryer include its relatively handy design (compared to an oven) and fast cooking of food. On the other hand, we think the largest disadvantage would be the difficulty in cleaning the interior, especially for a tiny aerofryer where interior is small and difficult to even put our hand in. Before buying one we may want to see if there’s any feature that helps make cleaning easier.

視窗式設計 Window Design

鍾意下廚既人都會明一路炸野一路睇住食物起泡泡其實係一個好治癒既過程，除左開心，仲可以俾我地知道食物會唔會整濃。唔少氣炸鍋都係全密封設計，買之前可以考慮依點對自己係咪重要。

We may want an aerofryer that has window design. If you like cooking you may probably agree that it’s comforting to watch the food surface bubbling during airfrying it. Being able to see the food being cooked can also help us ensure our food is not charred. We may also consider this point before buying one because many aerofryers don’t come with this feature.

預設烹調模式 Preset Cooking Modes

有預計烹調模式就唔洗次次煮野食之前都搵食譜，將野食塗上醬料，放入氣炸鍋，㩒返相應既烹調模式，超方便就煮到心目中既效果。

This is a convenient feature for getting rid of finding recipes every single time. You may also want your aerofryer to come with this.

保養 Warranty

電器野買之前最好都係睇下有無保養，精明消費者基本動作。

This is self explanatory.

好，講完一般買氣炸鍋可以留意既地方，以下就係私心分享時間，我地會開箱我地部Princess氣炸鍋，亦會講講點解我地覺得氣炸鍋之中佢係個好選擇。

Ok. Now we will unbox our Princess Aerofryer and share why we think it’s a very good choice among other alternatives.

氣炸鍋運到黎屋企了，每次有新野黎到屋企梵高同墨硯都好開心，不過廚具又關你地咩事？

Both Vincent and Inky were so excited about new thing at home.

紙皮箱入面係另一個彩色既紙皮箱，仲有唔肯走既梵高

Here it’s an inner paper box and Vincent who was still on the table

配件列陣，有3個烤架，1個3.5公升既炸籃、1枝烤雞架(可以360度轉轉轉)、2枝取物叉，同埋1個隔油盤，配件黎講佢算好齊全，可以幫到手做到廣泛類型既菜式。

氣炸鍋容量有11公升，算係非常大，除左可以煮薯條、雞翼等既小食，煮埋牛扒甚至烤隻雞都無問題，可以應付唔同既煮食需要。

Here are all the components. There are 3 roasting racks, a 3.5L frying basket, a rotating spit fork, 2 handles and a fat collecting tray. In terms of parts, it’s very sufficient and we can deal with a wide range of recipes with is aerofryer.

Volume is 11L which is enormous. Of course we can make snacks like French fries/ chicken wings. We may even cook a steak/ roast a whole chicken.

好多氣炸鍋都睇唔到食物烹調中既情況，依部就有視窗式蓋掩同埋內置環境燈，方便睇住烹煮過程

The door of the Princess aerofryer comes with a visible feature and ambient lightings for monitoring the cooking process.

而氣炸鍋一個常見問題係清洗較困難，依部個蓋掩係可拆式，要清洗裏裏外外都好方便

The door can also be detached. It provides extra convenience to clean the aerofryer

未駁電時面板係一片漆黑，駁左電就會見到輕觸式按鍵，介面清晰易明

Intuitive touch interface

隨Princess 5合1智能氣炸焗爐附送一本簡單既說明書，依一版就介紹左部氣炸鍋既7項預設烹飪程式同1項乾果烘焗程式（超正！），煮ed常見食材，直程食譜都唔洗搵了

The aerofryer comes with a simple manual. On this page it introduces the 7 preset cooking programs and a fruit dehydrating mode (nice feature!)

第一次用，首先抹一抹內壁同清洗下d部件先，好多空位俾手轉動去做清潔

Before we used for the first time, we cleaned the interior. There’s plenty of room for our hand to clean it

所有氣炸焗同焗爐第一次用之前都最好空燒佢30分鐘先，因為出廠前d零件會塗上潤滑油，一開始高溫燒佢會釋出機油味道，空燒佢可以等佢散散味

Like any aerofryer or oven, we’d better turn it on without food for 30 mins. In the factory lubricants were applied to the parts which generates unpleasant odour in the beginning of using it. We wanted to let the odour come out

因為係開箱既關係，所以都係做d超簡單動作，我地試左依部機點樣整炸魚肉燒賣係最好食，上網有睇到係冰箱拎出黎，用180度炸10分鐘，再掉轉佢炸5分鐘。

由於依部氣炸鍋有全方位熱風循環設計，所以唔洗將食物拎出再翻轉，只要用食物唔好放到最底，等空氣可以上下流動就可以了，所以我地直接炸佢15分鐘。

邊炸邊可以開住氣炸鍋內既環境燈睇住佢炸，對鍾意煮野係既人黎講，依件事係一種治癒同娛樂。

180度炸完15分鐘出黎既效果係d燒賣皮太硬了，之後我地又試下唔同時間，又試下加油同唔加油既分別，玩左成2個鐘。

As this is for unboxing, we just used it for simply aerofrying frozen shaomai. Some online recipes taught us to apply 180 degree for 10 mins, then flip the shao mai and then cook for another 5 mins.

As this aerofryer has a 3D air circulation design, we didn’t need to flip the shaomai amid cooking so we simply applied 180 degree celsius for 15 mins. Just make sure there is enough space for airflow up and down the shaomai.

We can then switch on the ambient lights and watch the cooking process which was a comforting scene to us.

We found that 180 degree for 15 mins was too much. We then tried different combination for played for 2 hours.

結果我地既發現係冰箱拎出黎180度炸10分鐘係比較好食既處理，上油同唔上油分別唔太大。燒賣炸完感覺較香脆，沾返d又濃又甜既煉奶，係你估佢唔到既好配搭。

So our conclusion for aerofrying frozen shaomai is to make it 180 degree for 10 mins and no need to apply oil. The crunchy shaomai went surprisingly well with condensed milk!
