    Hello there,

    Looking to buy a new deep fat fryer....

    Had a look in town today and seen the Tefal Actifry.

    So does anyone own one if so how do you find it compared to normal style fryers, mainly concerned with taste of fries, spuds etc. Also how easy is it to clean.

    Thanks

    Hi, I've owned one for 10 months now, the chips are tasty but more like an oven chip than a deep fried variety. However it does take a long time to cook(approx 40mins) and then only quite a small amount at a time, it is quite noisy; Sounds like a hairdryer! It is very easy to clean as it disassembles quickly and all goes in the dishwasher.

    This machine is the 'healthy option' version. You basically only put in 1 tablespoon of oil, and it stirs around the chips and blows hot air on them. I personally quite like the way they tasted, but you can't make more than enough for 4 persons (4 smallish portions). You can also 'stirfry' veg this way and various meats etc. If you want naughty chips in the acitfry, add goosefat instead:-)!
    I think the actifry is only really for chips, you couldn't do homemade onion rings in it, or anything similiar in batter as you'd end up with a big cake. So think about what you want a fryer for. Would it be just for chips, or do you think you'd want to occasionally want a fryer for other things. HTH.
