Tefal Actifry

Has anybody got one of these and if so what is your favourite recipes.

I like cutting up little potatoes in their skins and chucking in some onions, mushrooms and frylight. When everythings cooked add some chopped quorn sausages.

These were on Watchdog last week cos they overheat and set fire! They tested them and found that they have a design fault or something!

In saying that, are they good? I know that they are expensive.

I've had mine for at least 6 months and use it nearly every day. I would be lost without it.

I must admit, it looked good. I am right in thinking that they make chips with just a teaspoon of oil?

One tablespoon oil does enough chips for 4 people. I just use frylight now and I even do my roast potatoes in it. Quorn sausages do nice in there as well. I've also does roasted veggies in there as well

Thanks for your help Sarah & Sue, just one more question, are the chips & roasties just as crispy with a few sprays of frylite?

 

[SpaceAngel]

Susie will have to answer this one cos I havn't got one!

 

[Susiewoosie]

Not as crispy but just as nice and syn free on green days. You could always use 1 tablespoon of olive oil as hex b. I've served them to my brother and sister-in-law and they really liked them.
