ActiFry® Giveaway

1.4K

Today, I have an ActiFry® giveaway to one lucky RMK reader.  The ActiFry® from T-fal  is a low fat multi-cooker and can be used as a healthy alternative to the traditional deep fryer.  It features a removable ceramic-coated, non-stick pan (that is PTFE and PFOA free), a transparent steam-free lid, pulsating heat technology and an automatic stirring paddle which ensures even distribution of oil in each meal prepared.  Most things can be prepared in the Actifry with 1 tablespoon of oil.

About the ActiFry®

I was also sent an ActiFry® to try out.  It comes with a booklet that includes recipes to make in the ActiFry® .  I decided to test out some fries in mine, but it can also be used to make other things including meats, fish, vegetables, and even desserts.  The recipe I used was similar to one I make in my oven but my recipe uses double the oil that you use in the Actifry®.

I made the potato wedges with herbs and spices from their booklet.  The recipe said to use Yukon gold potatoes, but I used regular russets.  The results with the Actifry® were similar to what I received in the oven but required less oil.  The cooking time did take longer, but I didn’t need to use my oven to do it.  The Actifry® is perfect for summer cooking because I can have fries without having to turn my oven on which just makes my house hot.  The other thing I noticed with the fries cooked in the Actifry® is they were light and fluffy on the inside.

The booklet said you can use frozen fries in it also.  

I plan on trying that next.  If you use frozen fries you don’t at ANY oil.  That is right, they cook with NO oil.  The other recipe I want to try is chicken wings.  You can cook fresh chicken wings in the Actifry®.  You can even add sauce to the wings during the last 3 minutes of cooking.

The Actifry® is much easier to clean up that a deep fryer or a pan on my stove top that was full of oil.  The removable pan, lid, paddle spoon and filter can be easily disassembled and put into the dishwasher.  I just washed mine by hand and it was done in no time.  The rest of the machine can be easily wiped clean with a wet cloth or soft sponge.
