Advantages: healthy

Disadvantages: expensive

We always wanted to get a deep fat fryer, but my wife was concerned about how unhealthy fried chips are. When we saw this we reailsed that is was perfect compromise! We were not disappointed when we tried it out for the first time.

It does exactly what it says on the tin - one small teaspoon of oil thrown into the bowl where the uncooked chips are and then turn it on. Rather than cooking the chips by submersion in hot oil, the chips are cooked by hot air that is blown around the bowl. In my opinion this makes the chips not too soggy, but not overly crispy, although I do like them like that.

The bowl is not massive, but it suits us fine at the moment.

We have also branched out and the acti-fry makes a very nice stir fry! We jusdt throw it all in and towards the end add the noodles, I would definitely reccomend this.

It is expensive, it cost £149, but I have to say it is worth it, as it is very much guilt free eating!

My one small gripe would be that it does make an awful lot of noise. Although, to be fair that does not really matter in the grand scheme of things, as the end product is still great food.

Summary: Very nice food
