Tefal Actifry absolutely fantastic indeed

Advantages: Cooks food healthily
Disadvantages: None

...I was thinking about buying one of the Tefal Actifrys for sometime about 1 year to be exact. I was not disappointed at all and it is fantastic. You must ensure though that you really rinse the potatoes well to get rid of the starch and not only that dry the potatoes before you add them to the actifry. You only need 1 tablespoon of oil, any oil will do but I prefer a good quality olive oil, the chips turned out perfect, I didn't need to do them for the full 35-40 minutes stated as they were cooked in 30 minutes but I cannot rate this Actifry highly enough. Dietetics departments recommend this too so it must be good. I am well impressed, Don't worry, get one....

Review of Tefal FZ 7000 Actifry

A Matter of Loaf and Tefal

Advantages: stylish design and easy to use.
Disadvantages: the chrome top darkens after a while.

..., which is in the bottom of the toaster. Step 3 replace the crumb tray after cleaning. My opinion I bought this toaster as our last one ?died?. It also was a Tefal and it worked very well for 5 years. So I was favourably inclined towards having another Tefal toaster. Surprisingly the price has changed little. Considering the purchasing power of money today you would agree with me that the toaster is even 'cheaper' than my old one. I searched on amazon and found another Tefal toaster, same features, but with a white metal case. Although I liked the colour I didn?t want to pay another £10 just for that. I don?t think you need a metal case just for family daily use. I reckon before the plastic case has any problem the toaster would have to be retired. Anyway when I put the black toaster in my kitchen I was happy with its appearance...

Marco's Kitchen

Advantages: Marco, celebs getting flustered
Disadvantages: not long enough

...I was once told that I was just like Marco Pierre White. Taking this as a compliment I mearly assummed that they were referring to how incredibly talented I am when working with food. Sadly this was not what they were getting at. I have recently discovered that it was more down to the fact that a lot of the time I say things which make no sense whatsoever! This is one way is what can make Marco's Hell's Kitchen so funny. I never watched it when Gordan Ramsey was doing it. But since Marco has taken over I've become completely addicted to it. Down to the fact that they've cut down the programme from what was 90 minutes to the hour, the amount of cooking where we actually got to see how they were doing it has been decreased. Appareantly due to the fact that ITV are 'skint' they couldn't afford to get any celebrities of a high standard...

Reliable Tefal

Advantages: Reliability of Tefal, top of the range cookware
Disadvantages: None

...I have become a bit of a Tefal lover over the past couple of years, mainly because of the reliability of course, but also for the look. Yes, I know, a typical 'girlie' thing! Amongst my many Tefal products is my set of Integral Saucepans bought for me by my daughter. After I constantly moaned about my previous set of pans that had seen better days, she very sweetly bought them for me from QVC who often have Tefal hours presented by the lovely Annette Baker-Malpas. The Integral Saucepans are the top of the range of Tefal pans and quite simply, the best. As well as the well-known non-stick interior favoured by Tefal, the Integral saucepans, which come in a very attractive slate grey colour - ideally suited for most kitchen colour schemes - they have toughened glass lids, which won't shatter easily, and have steam vents which can...

Tefal Protect

Advantages: Reduced ironing time
Disadvantages: Very Expensive

...Tefal GV 9150 Protect Turbo Out of all the household tasks ironing is the one I hate and the one I am useless at. So when my iron died a death a couple of months ago I thought I would invest in a steam generator iron. Whilst they are expensive they all claimed to cut your ironing time down by half, which sounded good to me. I opted for the Tefal Protect Turbo as I liked the idea that you could cover it with a hood and put it away still hot, without fear of scorching anything. And also with a small child in the house I also liked the protect function. Having said that I always wait to iron until he is in bed to avoid accidents. . Ok so what's the iron Tefal Protect like? Well there is no picture on Ciao so I will try and describe the iron too you. All steam generator irons are much bulkier than your standard iron this is...

Gifts from the Kitchen

Advantages: See Review
Disadvantages: See Review

...Gifts from the Kitchen ? Ann Kleinberg: I have a thing for cookbooks, I have loads of them and I love nothing more than snuggling up on the sofa and just looking through them. This particular book was a birthday present from my Mum last January and now that Christmas is here, (woohoo), it has been getting plenty of use. Gifts from the Kitchen is a very pretty and girly hardback book from marks and Spencers. It is styled in a very kitsch way with lots of pretty pictures, pink and gingham! It is the sort of cookbook that instantly makes me want to a don a pinny and morph into a 1950s house-wife! The theme of pink and pale green flows throughout the book and teamed with the beautiful photography it works perfectly to get you into the mood to make lovely edible gifts which is, of course, the theme of the book. There are forty recipes in...

Review of Gifts from the Kitchen - Parragon Book Service

Dream Kitchen @ Trade Prices - NOT!

Advantages: I'm not sure there are any!
Disadvantages: Expensive, Persuasive

...My partner and I are in the process of renovating our property. An extension is going on the back of our house and as we have to knock out the kitchen window as access, we will be replacing our very old and much neglected kitchen. I had searched around on the net and found a few kitchen companies and requested some brochures. I came to the kitchen direct website and entered my details for brochures to be sent. I had to enter my telephone details as well as postal address for them to send the brochures out. Within 2 hours I had a telephone call from the company wanting to come and do a design appointment in my house. I agreed and made the appointment for when both my partner and I would be home. Meanwhile, I researched some kitchens and prices online. We knew roughly what we wanted and how much we could afford to spend, so we...

Review of Hell's Kitchen

Not in my kitchen!

Advantages: None that I could see
Disadvantages: expensive, time consuming, poor customer relations

...I will come clean from the outset and tell you that this opinion is incomplete. It is incomplete in so much that I did not choose to buy my new kitchen from Kitchens Direct ,so I can?t tell you what the product and fitting are actually like ,if one went through with the fitting. My reason for writing this review is because I was so unhappy with the parts of the process we did go ahead with that I would like to warn you to think hard before giving them your hard earned cash or bank loan! We are having massive restoration work done on our Victorian house. We totally ripped out the bathroom .I designed that myself and the builders did all the work. The same happened with my study and I am thrilled with the results. The kitchen is our current project. We share the house with my fairly aged Mother in law .She wanted her own kitchen as...
