Thank you for sharing these recipes - I owned an Actifry for 3 years and all I used it for was to make syn free chips until it blew up. I wasn't going to buy another one but found I really missed it. I gave in and bought another one 2 weeks ago and am determined to make more use of it.

I'm going to treat myself and give your full engligh breakfast a go on Sunday morning. Keep the recipe's coming.

If I make anything exciting I will share it with you all.

Glad you found my thread helpful hun
Keep your recipes coming too. My Actifry come with its own recipe book which ive been using and making the recipes sw friendly xxx

If you like "spicy" put some tandoori powder mix into a pepper pot and when you have sprayed the potatoes shake this over them.
You can add chilli powder if you like them hotter - I also add garlic powder.

Hi Mrs Wilsoncroft

Silly question, but what exactly is an Actifry. I have seen so many people raving about them , but I don't know why?

Hi it's a deep fat fryer without the deep fat. Basically made by tefal, you chop chips and throw in the fryer then spray with fry light or put in a spoon of oil, switch on and chips in 20 mins. You can do roast potatoes, nuggets, scampi, sausages etc. They are about £130 ish, currys have em £113. eBay have new and second hand for £60-150. Hope that helps. Well worth it but pricey. Ps the chips are syn free if using fry light .

Thanks Pebbles
Another question ( from an actifry virgin) Why chose this over frylight plus an oven or frylight plus a frying pan?

Hi well, there's no parboiling for a start and it takes only 20 mins, you put everything in and it cooks it for you, no need to turn them over either.
