Tefal FZ 7000 Actifry

Advantages: doesn't smell & very healthy
Disadvantages: chips take a long time too cook

Bought one of these 2 days ago From COSTCO and the chips taste great .. I think it will take a bit of getting used to ..as will the amount of potatoes needed they seem to shrink alot more than when fryed ?? VERY easy to use just take about 40mins to cook very easy to clean and dishwasher safe , chips ARE easy to take out you just lift the base out ( it is just like a deep frying pan ) then you can tip them on to the plate / bowl etc. a big plus ...

I purchased Actifry from Lakeland and could'nt wait to try it out. The chips came out ok but I found them a bit dry.Cooking time is about 40 min. I also tried the recipe for chilli con carne but got terribly disappointed. The meat turned chewy and hard ,vegetables tasted undone and kidney beans turned very dry.Overall was'nt great. In addition to that the machine gets very hot dispite the fact that the packaging says cool to touch. If you are prepared to spend £150 to enjoy healthy chips then go for it. Otherwise if you expect more than that I think you will be disappointed.

Advantages: Healthy food preparation. Crispy chips
Disadvantages: Price! Length of time to cook compared to normal deep fat fryers

My Tefal ActiFry arrived today and I couldn't wait to try it out. I followed the instructions and made some chips. They were delicious and nice and crispy and my husband asbolutely loved them. The ActiFry is well built and easy to assemble and has a built-in timer. The down side apart from the price is that the chps take 35 to 40 minutes to cook if you want them crisp so may not be for those who are looking for a meal in a hurry. It is important ...
...Chips must be completely dry before cooking so must be towelled dry with paper towel. I also used a full scoop of sunflower oil in the preparation. It also cooks frozen chips by the same method. It was a bit of a faff getting them out of the pan, but well worth it. There is also a good recipe and menu book included for preparation of different types of food (Chicken with Pineapple, Thai-spiced chicken with courgettes, Madagascan Beef, Chilli con ...
