I ended up ringing Philips re cleaning the filter. With the technology they use, there is no filter in there as such, just a vent which you wipe over from the outside. He said to just clean the outside and the heating coil with a soft, moist cloth. I also asked him about any accessories planned in the future for this model and as far as he knows they are only looking at the double layer rack sometime this year. Any new accessories will be announced on their website when it happens.
thanks Judy for making the effort to ring Philips. i did wonder about whether there is a filter or not... i had herbs on some potato wedges i was cooking... and found that my kitchen bench wall was covered with herbs, blown out the back of the Airfryer!!! now it makes sense. Thanks again Judy!!!

Without a doubt - roast the nuts before processing. You can choose how much roasting you like; I like to include some hazel nuts and roast until some of the nuts are a bit charred around the edges. Cool down then into the TMX for grinding. I like to include the peanut skins (not the shells!!) for added fibre and colour. My kids love it.
It is so easy, delicious, and gives you 100% control of what's in it! I use ~ 500g mixed nuts... roasted in microwave 5 x 2 minute runs with stirring in between. I let them cool (because they continue to roast) for an hour or so. When cool, throw the whole lot into TMX with a pinch of salt and sugar (optional personal taste) .... speed 4 for about 30 seconds, then to speed 10 for about 2 minutes. you will see it transform in to a paste. Then i transfer the whole lot into an air tight storage container , and into the fridge. The only hard work is the licking of the spoon and bowl, and perhaps fully washing the peanut butter from the blades....

Does anyone know if the filter on the back of the Philips Airfryer can be / should be cleaned or replaced?
surely it should be at least washed/rinsed to stay effective.
(i'm thinking about for example, my range hood extractors needing a 6 monthly washing, so therefore filters like the one on the back of the Airfryer should also.
thanks!!!

You know the 6 is even better value cause if you buy the 5 you'll have to pay postage taking it up to $109. The 6 in 1 is free shipping.
Which is really like paying $10 for a deep fryer, now who can pass at that bargain 
Yes. get the New Wave 6 in 1 instead.... with a spare stainless steel bowl!

Wow guys... fantastic. Reminds me of some delicious dishes I've enjoyed at dim sum/yum cha, or whilst travelling in Vietnam... steamed rice rolls. Here's a good youtube video that shows a couple of alternative ways to make the sheets... traditional steaming on a sheet of stretched cheesecloth or silk: http://www.ifood.tv/video/making_rice_noodlesdoing it at home using a good non-stick pan: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnYy1iTUJigi might give steaming a go this weekend using an embroidery cross stich frame and cheesecloth!!!

Peleep, I thought I'd try convincing them to ship to London. They might be interested if it is an order of 2 to the same address. Would you be interested in doing that and splitting the cost of shipment?
Great idea Bickie. See how you get on with NewWave re shipping two to London, and let me know. There's also import duty and VAT to consider also. Import Duty is unavoidable unfortunately...if a package is declared at being worth more than £18, both duty and vat are payable...

very useful response. thanks! no i know why some cordial recipes call for cream of tartar.... so the sugar doesn't crystallise!

Thank you Judy.... sounds like its inconclusive....
i'll try to make one without the citric acid and see what happens. You can't buy citric acid in supermarkets or pharmacies in the UK!

hi all
been thinking about making my own ginger and lemon grass cordial as it is so delicious with sparkling water! All recipes I've seen for cordials seem to have either citric or tartaric acid in them.
Any ideas what this is for? Is it disastrous if it is not included in the recipe?
thanks!

I have looked everywhere for Gert's lovely photos of her macarons but can't find them, I'm sure they are right in front of me. 
I tried Mara's recipe and IT WORKED BEAUTIFULLY. I was so thrilled. They look lovely apart from the lousy piping. They were a little chewy so I may not have cooked them enough. It was my first time doing egg whites in the TMX. I was thrilled.
Thanks Gretchen and Mara.
well done! I love them being a little chewy in the centre, and slightly crispy on the outer. Can you share the recipe, or post a link? Like in Masterchef... what were the pressure points with the recipe?
