Tefal FZ 7000 Actifry

I first came across the Tefal Actifry about 2 years ago whilst attending slimming world. Every month or so the group would enjoy a tasting evening when members bought along food made using slimming world recipes. One member prepared chips using her Actifry and I was amazed at how good they tasted, especially as they contained just 3% fat. Although we rarely eat chips in our family, I really wanted one of these machines for myself. At the time the price tag of around £160 was prohibitive but this autumn the price had come down so I took the plunge and bought one. What is the Actifry ... more

The Tefal Actifry - a revolutionary way to cook chips, all the flavour without the fat...Sounds Good Eh ? After much deliberation, and faced with a rapidly expanding waistline, I decided to buy a Tefal Actifry, I had read all the claims and decided that although very expensive for a fryer, Tefal was a reputable brand and it would be a useful product.

I am always looking for ways to make cooking healthier for me and my family and after someone recommended the Tefal Actifry Low Fat Electric Fryer to me, I thought it sounded like something that could be very beneficial and useful to me.

Having ordered it from Amazon, I received the fryer the next working day - as predicted by their ... more

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 ... more

I have just bought a Tefal FZ 7000 Actifry for £120 from Ebay and it arrived today, so I thought i'd let you know what my thoughts are on the handy little gadget. I quite like it to be honest and have read some reviews previously which have been negative about the Actifry, but so far I am happy with it. Althought it looks like a space age machine it is quite simply a good idea for healthier eating, you can cook 1kg of chips in a little oil which takes the fat content down for a healthier chip. I like this idea as I'm always on some kind of diet or other and really miss eating chips, so now I ... more
