I got a Ariete Airy Fryer Mini and this is my first cook with it, including the unboxing. First impression is that it takes a while to cook just even fresh cut potatoes. I preheated the air fryer 14 minutes at 200C degrees then as prescribed turn it down to 180C degrees and put the potatoes in. You see me after 14 minutes opening it up. Then another 10 minutes where I put them in the plate, they were still only half cooked, then after the video I put them back in for a good 15 minutes where they were good. Also, maybe this depend on the potatoes, they were not crispy, but more softlike. The taste was okay. As prescribed in the manual, I added a soup spoon of olive oil and mixed it well into the potato fries. Maybe this is what air fried potato fries supposed to be like. The Ariete Fryer was €65 (as a comparison Lidl sells their own Silvercrest brand air fryer for €35 and I believe that it's even bigger than this one. Funny that they had this brand at Lidl where I also bought it at Lidl. Was thinking of maybe returning it, but I like the idea of air fried french fries, i will keep trying, plus I will try to cook other stuff with it. Do you have this or another air fryer? Would love to hear your experience with them. Thanks!
