Award-Winning Chef Gordon Ramsay Inspires Families to Cook Healthy During the Busy Back-To-School Season

Chef Gordon Ramsay Uses Philips Airfryer to Fry, Roast and Grill with Air Instead of Oil

PR Newswire, Stamford, Conn., August 18, 2016
If hectic weeknight schedules have you dialing for take-out or popping a pre-packaged meal in the microwave, Gordon Ramsay has a time-saving tool that will get you back in the kitchen and cooking healthy, homemade meals in no time. Philips Airfryer is Chef Ramsay’s at-home sous chef for cooking delicious dishes for his whole family. This simple, multi-tasking kitchen appliance uses air instead of oil to fry, roast, bake and grill a variety of foods for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

“This time of year can be quite the frenzy for our family, and a struggle to find time to cook healthy dishes,” said Ramsay. “The Philips Airfryer has been like having a sous chef in my home. It’s fast, easy and everything we make in it always comes out delicious, whether it’s sweet potato fries, juicy roasted chicken, or – my girls’ favorite – crispy kale chips.”

Through the partnership, Ramsay created several recipes uniquely for the Philips Airfryer, and his easy, instructional videos are available now on philips.com/airfryer along with other Airfryer recipes, how-to videos and tips. From healthy weeknight cooking for back-to-school, to easy entertaining around the holidays, Ramsay’s five mouthwatering recipes aim to inspire new ways to cook healthier using air instead of oil:

“Similar to Chef Ramsay, Philips is devoted to inspiring people to live a healthy lifestyle,” said Maartje Loomans, Marketing Director for Philips Domestic Appliances. “We want to provide consumers with solutions that will help get home cooked meals on the table quickly and easily with healthy, delicious results the whole family will love.”

The Philips Airfryer is the original and the best. It revolutionizes at-home frying with its unique Starfish shape that delivers the best-tasting, crispiest results with up to 75 percent less fat1 using just one tablespoon of oil or less. Only Philips’ starfish shaped pan allows for optimal air‑flow to cook food faster and more evenly. Without this unique design air-flow decreases; over cooking food on the outside and undercooking it on the inside. It’s one of the reasons why current users state 100% satisfaction with the result and taste of French fries cooked in the Philips Airfryer2.
