Hi,

Just joined the forum, got me some slimming world literature coming from ebay and my friend gave me an old food optimising book.

I've had a tefal actifry for a year now, was diagnosed with gallstones the June before last and this gave me a bit of my old life back. Chips!

A full load of chips = a full spoonful, if you only make enough for yourself you reduce the oil accordingly, I'm going to do some today and use just a teaspoon of oil, the measure is under a tablespoon for a full load.
I expect the chips to be just as nice with a reduction of oil, ironically I came here to ask syn values but this thread has answered more than enough and I even did some measuring myself.

Not sure how much they are going on ebay for but Ideal World is where i first saw them, they are constantly selling them and recently have introduced a interest free installment payment option which is great, I did get mine from the catalogue, a bit expensive but for me at the time was well worth it.

Oh and no sign of blowing up ..... yet >>

I use mine for syn free chips or use oil for my hexb. Roasties are lovely in it too.I just make sure I'm never far from it after the fire thingy.

I really want one of these they look great!

My Oh's parents have one sitting on their shelf in their kitchen they have loads of gadgets and I bet they never use them they are the sort of people that buy things and never get round to using them more than once!

Every so often I hint that my OH should ask if we can "borrow" it, as its very likely they would just offer us it, instant saving of £120!!

lol Good luck with that rockchic, this is one "gadget" that gets used on a weekly basis I only complain that there's no instant shut off when the quiet timer goes off. Everyone complains about that though.


louisedan, can you explain to me what hexb is please?

 

[Littleslimmingbee]

I took mine back because i had much higher expectations.. occasionally i wish i still had it just because i detest par-boiling, BUT.. for the price i wasnt impressed. When i have that sort of money knocking around, i will re-buy for convienance, but i can do just as good for the sake of an extra half hour preperation x

 

[crm]

Apart from the cost this looks really appealing to me, might need to ask for one for my birthday lol

 

[Little Ninja]

There are a few of these knocking about on eBay which are brand new and nowhere near the £120 you'd pay buying new! Check it out!

First chance on getting on, 2 med potatoes, 1 tsp of olive oil, absolutely beautiful chips i have to say, the best i've made so far, I should have done this ages ago and reduced the oil...

 

[lwtblb]

I've had mine about 18 mths, still using it regularly for loads of different things, have noticed the price has shot up recently though!!! I only paid about 90 for mine. Must have been really lucky to get it at the right time.

 

[hayley morgan]

ive got one and i love it worth every penny!

 

[louisedan]

hex b is your healthy extra b choice(sorry being lazy)
