Manufacturers Description

The Tefal Actifry is a revolutionary new product which allows you to enjoy tasty, traditional, home cooked chips, but at the same time stay healthy and feel good about what you are eating. The Actifry is part of the Nutritious & Delicious range from Tefal which aims to produce innovative products for people searching for healthier ways to cook without compromising on taste.

By using just one spoonful of oil you can make 1kg of homemade chips, which is enough to feed a family of four. That one spoonful is 100 times less than a traditional deep fat fryer, which not only means that your food is substantially more healthy, but it is also more economical and is also 100% safe, unlike some traditional methods of frying. Simply load up to 1kg of freshly cut chips into the Actifry, drop in a measure of your preferred oil using the spoon provided and set the timer, the Actifry does the rest, just wait for the timer to end and the alarm to sound.

The Tefal Actifry requires no pre-heating, its ready when you are, and better yet, it's not just chips you can cook. The versatile Actifry allows you to cook a range of foods including meat, fish, stir fried vegetables, frozen chips and more. A recipe book is included for more ideas. The Actifry has an odourless filter which means that your kitchen will stay as fresh as it was when you started cooking.

The steam free lid and viewing window means that you can always keep an eye on your food, although with the food being constantly but gently stirred by the mixing arm, all you need to do is add you ingredients and let them cook. The mixing arm also ensures even cooking of your food. The automatic lid opens at the push of a button for your convenience.

Once you finished cooking your food, the cover, basket and vanes can all be removed and are all dishwasher-safe. That’s everything you need to wash up taken care of. You can then sit and enjoy real chips, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, safe in the knowledge that they only contain 3% fat.

Great
I have had the acti fry for about 4 months now and find it great. Yes the chips do taste different to deep fried but in my opinion there taste nicer in the acti fry. I'm a fussy eating and found that when chips were cooking in a deep fat fryer if they weren't cooking in Olive oil then i just didn't like them. However with the acti fryer i find myself experimenting on different oils and seasonings.
I use my acti fry for cooking meat especially chicken and sauage which tastes great. I would never use cook these meats any other way now.

The best thing about the acti frying is how easy it is to clean. I have bought household applicances which end up never getting used as there take ages to clean whereas the acti fry is simple to use and clean. I have even managed to get my Dad to use it, which is no easy task.

a chip fiend writes
A deep fat fryer that takes only one spoon of oil to cook chips? You must be joking. And yet this cunning machine produces very respectable chips without the stench associated with deep fat frying. Furthermore it assuages my anxiety about the unhealthiness of serial chip eating. It really is very good for the chipaholic. Yes it is rather expensive, yes it takes longer than the 'real thing' and yes it makes me feel like a bit of a food fraud. But when chips are both so tasty and healthy at the same time, who really cares?

Unimpressed
I bought this item to make the task of making chips easier and healthier. It is indeed easy to use and no doubt produces food with a lower fat content than conventional deep frying. However... the chips it makes are nothing like the deep fried variety, they are more like poor quality oven chips. Despite trying various types of potato and different oils the result was always disappointing. They take ages to cook too, and if you have more than three people to serve forget it, as it can't cope with large quantities. It's claim to be odourless is also a nonsense as it always left an annoying smell which seemed to linger for hours and hours.

Chips produced by this appliance are nowhere near as good as deep fried chips, if you want to eat less fat simply have them less often. If you want covenience buy oven chips, this machine is in effect a glorified fan oven. I can see this appliance appealing to those people who cook with a microwave oven, and we all know what great chefs they are!
