Tefal ActiFry

I was getting fed up of the smell of the chip pan in my house and coul even start smelling it on my clothes. So out shopping one ay I came across the Tefal Actifry. One tablespoon of oil to make chips, so it won me over. 1 spoonful of oil is enough for 1kg of chips I bought one from Comet for £120 on offer. But is also selling in Amazon for £130. So once home the deep fat fryer was thrown in the bin and replaced with this. It is a bit bulkier so takes up more room on your worktop but because you don't have oil in it you can easily store it away in a cupboard until you need to use it. With the actifry you also get a cookbook full of ...  Read the complete review

The Tefal Actifry is a neat little machine that appealed to me the first time I saw it, but at £149 I really couldn't justify it, even if I could afford it. However, I kept my eye on the price of this fabulous fryer and eventually bought it on Amazon for £89. It's a nicely shaped and sturdily constructed piece of equipment but it is a bit heavy if you need to keep moving it around. It is grey, silver and white in colour and quite contemporary in design. I actually like the way it looks which isn't something I can same about many kitchen devices. The lid on this short handle banjo shaped unit opens when you push the locking buttons. Inside is a ...  Read the complete review

The Hype Imagine being able to fry a batch of real home-made chips with just a tablespoon of olive oil. Sounds too good to be true? Place up to a kilo of freshly cut chips into the cooking pan, then measure your preferred oil with the scoop provided, pour it over, and set the timer. Patented technology circulates hot air around your fries, whilst the mixing paddle evenly disperses the oil. The result is chips that are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, with only 3% fat content. And there's more good news to come: The Actifry can also be used for cooking frozen chips, scampi, chicken drumsticks, stir-fried vegetables and ...  Read the complete review

I absolutely love this machine. I binned my deep fat frier a number of years ago as they are greasy, dirty, unhealthy and make the world smell of chip fat. unfortunately oven chips taste like badly done spuds and we dont have a local chippie. I spotted the actifyer whilst looking for a new TV (still havent got one) and went home and googled it immediately. A while later Amazon was showing me a little video of how to cook a whole batch of chips with one tablespoon of olive oil and I was pressing the "here have my 90 quid" button. Im glad I did for two reasons, one is that I can eat healthy chips everyday and the other is that they have since whammed the ...  Read the complete review

I bought this product for £130 because it sounded very good and i had read good reviews of the machine. When it arrived I read through all the instructions and worked out how it worked. I like the design and look of the machine and found it really easy to use. Simply cup your chips, give them a good dry and pop them in the machine. All you have to do then is add a small amount of oil using the handy spoon and shut the lid and its ready to use. I had mine for about four months, working fine as was used a couple of times a week. Then one day I did the usual process of getting my chips, I turned the machine on and everything seemed fine. Then i started ...  Read the complete review
