Tefal ActiFry Deep Fryer?

[Egon]

When i do the title will be along the lines "so now the diarrhea's stopped....."

....... what will my parakeet eat?

 

[arfur]

I remember these, they were on watchdog as they kept setting on fire.... I wouldnt have one

 

[wez130]

just reading up on this, so it's 1.4kw, is this a constant consumption?

 

[Berserker]

In the early days they used to regularly suffer fan failures. On this forum that would seem like nothing special, but in the ActiFry's case, it caused it to catch fire just about instantly.

Hopefully they've long since found the design fault and fixed it though.

They do look the business, but weather they warrent the price tag.....

 

[Pestilence]

Really looks like it'd only be useful for chips, so at that price tag...

Or you could make a healthy chicken tikka masala.

I dont quite get it though, why is she using that when she could just fry some onions and
cook the chicken using a normal pan and hob, am I missing something?

Looks like if I didn't have a hob I would buy on of these.

Didn't llike ours. The chips were awful. Maybe we were putting too much in (chips 4 four).

Very true. For that kind of dish, it's a similar amount of oil than you would use when doing it manually on the hob.

Doesn't make much sense.

It's purchase justification I reckon.

"Now that I've spent £122 on this thing, let's think of all the uses I can get out of it to make it feel like better value."

Yep, lol.

If it can't make Buffalo Wings, it ain't a damn fryer.

I have had one since April 2008 (it blow up 11 months laters) got a replacement from Tefal (new 12 months Warranty).

If you try and cook to many chips (4 people) they go all bitty and broken up. But if its for 1 or 2 its fine.

You can also use frozen chips and I think they cook a lot better.

I think the design needs to be changed a bit.

But I love the chips.


I use Olive Oil or Rice barn oil.

You can do saugues, mince and meatballs in them too can't you?

what is it like for cleaning? I have always been interested in a fryer (deep or otherwise) but have always been put off my the cleaning.
