Advantages: Do not have to keep draining oil after each use
Disadvantages: Takes up alot of countertop space

The Tefal Prissima has been n a life saver for my daily life. Since I do not work and my fiance does, it is sort of a nonspkoken agreement that I would do most of the cooking until I am able to get a job. One of the most important parts of the kitchen for me is to have something to deepfry in. That along with a George Foreman grill. Well since we had nothing to deep fry in I felt out of place, almost did not know how to cook some things without it. ...

Tefal Maxi Classic Deep Fat Frier My Mum bought me my Deep fat frier for christmas, she was sick of worrying that I’d have an accident with my stove top chip pan. (God...do you still remember those?). I had actually asked for one and was pleased with my present. GOOD POINTS: Easy to use... Plug it in, wait for the light to go out, lower the basket Charcoal filter in the lid...Controls smells, can be bought by mail order from Tefal when needed ...

Advantages: Can make fresh low fat chips and wedges, easy to clean
Disadvantages: Bit big so takes up room, takes quite a long time to cook, caught on fire

I love the chips and wedges (that I made with fresh organic potatoes), and so do the family. It is much cheaper to make your own, once you have bought the product, but takes a longish time to cook - up to 45 mins depending on how much you cook. One kilo of wedges take 45 minutes. Less takes a little less time. The instructions are easy to follow from the recipe book, I haven't tried any of the interesting recipes in there. I can't use wheat flour ...
...two tablespoons of oil, and I added spices as per recipe but my own choice of spices. The actifry is easy to dismantle and clean in the dishwasher and it doesn't smell much when cooking. However after just 5 uses my actifry caught on fire and it is really lucky I noticed this right away or it could have been very serious, so it is going back to the retailer. I unplugged it and shut the lid and it went out, but produced a lot of chemical/plastic ... Read review
