tefal acti-fry recipes

[jtkc0816]

Anyone have any low syn or syn free actri-fry recipes apart from chips? lol

Good question. I have the actifry but only use it for chips. I tried doing chips without any oil and didn't like it. I remember I did meatballs in the actifry once but was dismayed at the amount of fatty residue left behind. (the meatballs were swimming in it)

Any help or tips would regarding the actifry would be great.

i like doing the chips without oil, i just cut the potatoes, spray on fry lite and plenty of salt, come out nice and crispy outside and fluffy in the middle, best of all there free

It was my understanding that salt should not be used because it can scratch the surface. Have you found this to be the case?

no... it says in my instruction booklet to "add salt if desired before cooking" so i guess its alright ive had my tefal for nearly 2 years and not a mark on it x

My in laws do roast carrots and parsnips in theirs, tasty and syn free if cooked in the same way as chips. Don't think they parboil them but may be trial and error x

I made a "risotto" in mine once. I thought the stirring action would be good and prevent me standing at the stove for 40 minutes. It turned out OK, although it wasn't as creamy as a proper one. It was more like a jambalaya really.
