Recently, we had the opportunity to attend the media launch of the Philips Airfryer 5000 Series in Kuala Lumpur, where Philips Domestic Appliances Malaysia introduced what could be their most versatile airfryer yet.

The event gathered more than 50 journalists, lifestyle media and content creators who were invited to experience the appliance first-hand. From live cooking demonstrations to tasting sessions, the atmosphere was lively as everyone was curious to see how this new kitchen innovation would perform.

What makes the Philips Airfryer 5000 Series interesting is its combination of Steam, Airfry and SteamFry functions all built into one appliance. Powered by Philips’ RapidAir™ Technology, the airfryer is designed to deliver crispy results on the outside while keeping the inside juicy and moist.

According to Sue-Ann, Commercial Director of Philips Domestic Appliances Malaysia, this new innovation is meant to transform everyday cooking at home.

“This is the airfryer that truly elevates home cooking, combining steaming, airfrying and easy cleaning in one, powered by our Rapid Air Technology for consistently great results which are crispy on the outside, juicy and moist with the added steam function. We believe this is the start of a true fry-volution in the kitchen.”

One of the highlights of the event was a live cooking session by influencer content creator Shafique Cute, who demonstrated how the SteamFry function works. The combination of steam and air frying helps preserve moisture in the food while still achieving that crispy texture many people enjoy.

Guests were also treated to a fun SteamFry Showdown led by Chef Sarah Huang Benjamin. Teams were invited to try the appliance themselves and prepare dishes using the airfryer. It was interesting to see how easily the appliance handled different cooking styles while maintaining consistent results.

The Philips Airfryer 5000 Series also comes with several features designed for modern households:

• Large 7.2L capacity, suitable for preparing meals for families

• RapidAir Technology for fast and even cooking

• Steam function that helps retain moisture and nutrients

• Airfry function for crispy cooking with little to no oil

• SteamFry function that combines steam and air frying for better texture

• Steam Clean feature that uses steam to loosen grease for easier cleaning

For busy families, especially working parents, having a multi-functional appliance like this can simplify daily cooking. Instead of using multiple kitchen tools, the Philips Airfryer 5000 Series allows you to steam, airfry and even clean the appliance using steam in one device.

The new airfryer is now available at Harvey Norman outlets nationwide, with prices starting from RM799.
