What types of oil can I use in my ActiFry?

The ActiFry can be used with a variety of oils such as Olive Oil, Vegetable Oil, Sunflower Oil, Seed Oil.
How much oil do I need to add for frozen chips?

None as the chips already contain oil.
Why aren’t my chips crispy enough?

Make sure to sufficiently wash and thoroughly dry your potatoes prior to cooking. You may also need to cut your chips thinner or increase the amount of oil.
What are the best potatoes to use in the AcitFry?

We advise you to use potato varieties that are recommended for making chips. Maris Piper or Red Rooster generally give the best results.
Can I cook anything other than chips?

Yes, this is a genuinely multi-purpose appliance, which can be used to cook a wide range of foods. Download the APP for more inspiration!

Perfect chips, wedges, chicken wings every time!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 June 2020
Verified Purchase

Brilliant machine. Pricy but worth the money. It effortlessly cooks chips, wedges, chicken wings to perfection. I never actually realised how badly my oven handled these foods until I tasted how great they were out of the ActiFry.
My main oven takes almost 15 minutes to preheat. The actifry does a batch of chips for two in around 25 minutes. 30 minutes for wedges and chicken wings for two, no preheating required so it’s much quicker than the main oven. It’s also very simple to clean, the inner basket is light yet sturdy and the stirring paddle is simple to fit and remove and clean.
The machine does not shut off when the timer beeps, but I am never far away from the kitchen when cooking so that’s not an issue for me personally.
A slight criticism would be that this is supposedly 4 portions but I put enough for two into it and it seems pretty full. We aren’t a particularly greedy couple either. If you are feeding a large family I would recommend a larger model.
I also want the snacking basket, which is sold separately. This rotates and allows you to cook delicate food which might otherwise be damaged by the central paddle. Make sure the basket you buy will fit your model as I’ve already been caught out there.
All in all I would say it’s a great buy, I’m very pleased I bought it, it has produced some delicious food with very little oil needed. If you use frozen chips you don’t need to add any oil at all, just throw them in and switch them on. It really could not be any easier!

Perfect for even all round Cooking
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 December 2021
Verified Purchase
Lovely machine. The paddle inside is brilliant for an even cooking/browning of sausages or chips. It doesn’t leave burnt parts or bits that are less cooked than others.
I would definitely recommend this machine. It’s is more healthy than frying and much less dangerous.
A blind family member could use the machine if they take care not to touch the inner parts and were made aware of timings for cooking. The handle is simple to use and the food can be tipped straight onto a plate.
The machine is easy to clean as there are only the 2 parts and is easily taken apart and put back together.
BRILLIANT BUY

A gadget you actually use!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 September 2019
Verified Purchase
This is the second Tefal air-fryer I’ve bought - only because I wore the first one out after 3 years...
They are not that easy to clean, as you have to try not to get them wet, and there are few parts you can put in a dishwasher. Saying that, you can clean the actual pan easily as it lifts out of the body of the fryer and you can wash this by hand.
The handle of the first one ended up disintegrating due to repeatedly being subject to hot temperatures, so I managed without the handle for a while, but the grease from regular use did build up and was not that easy to remove from some areas.
The new one is quieter than the first, and has a removable timer which is a handy improvement, but it still doesn’t switch itself off automatically, which is a shame as I think Tefal could achieve this without adding much to the cost.
Not a good thing if you’re doing ‘drunk food’ 🤪
All in all though, it is a great appliance if you’re short of oven space, it does chips either frozen or fresh to perfection, or things like chicken strips, or you can use your imagination...

Bought this to replace my old one that had died after 6 years faithfull service. Same model with a face-lift and now the timer can be removed to carry it with you, to be honest I have never used the timer as it doesn't turn the fryer off so I don't see it as much benefit. The fryer however is brilliant really nice crispy fries only much healthier but it doesn't end there, great wedges, roast potatoes chicken wings, prawns, samosas etc. I have bought lots of kitchen gadgets over the years but this has been something that didn't end up in the back of the cupboard, I would highly recommend this fryer for a small family or couple for larger families the XL version would be better.

The item is brilliant. It is super early to use and cooks everything perfectly. The instructions are clear and easy to follow.
Quite loud when it's running but not to the extent you need to shout over it.
Only down side was this was ordered as a gift and I selected that option at order.
However the box was delivered completed uncovered and visible... to the receiver.
So he ended up with it a few weeks before christmas instead of on Christmas day. Cheers for that.

I have held off from buying one of these for a long time, I didn’t think chips with little oil would taste or look like chips - they do! They’re lovely and things are so easy to cook in this. You set the timer, switch on and when the timer beeps your food is cooked. No watching over a hot chip pan, no turning, just walk away.

So far we’ve only cooked chips and sausages in this, but I know it will do much more. It really is worth every penny. It’s so easy to clean and to put back together, the whole cleaning and reassembling process takes a couple of minutes. I haven’t washed it in the dishwasher as it will take up space I need, but hand washing it is no hassle at all.

This should be big enough for a family of 4.

Easy to use and perfect for healthy eating
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 May 2019
Verified Purchase
Whilst I scored this 1 for temperature control, that is simply because it doesn't offer that function. As an air-fryer it runs at around 180°c within a confined space so really this is more about controlling the time than the temp.

I live in a building with very basic facilities and this has allowed me to greatly diversify my meal and menu options. As someone who trains a lot and is strict about their diet it has made it simple to cook foods that, cooked traditionally, would not quite match with my healthy eating goals.
The sheer variety of what can be cooked in this makes it a great addition to any kitchen and the ease with which you can use it means that you don't have to be a master chef to get good results.
The slight downside is how difficult the stirring arms can be to clean by hand. It takes some scrubbing, especially if you have been cooking meat but I'm confident that if cleaned in a dishwasher (the cooking surfaces are all dishwasher safe) it would yield a better result.

best chips ever...like! We use tallow, paprika, powdered onion and garlic for flavour...bring it on. 1kg of chips roughly made per batch. Very easy to use. I clean in the dishwasher. I have had my first one for 8 years and finally had a light bulb moment to buy a second one for less downtime between batches.... greedy greedy yum yum! I use it also for chicken wing nibblets...frozen or fresh...no fats required for the chicken... good luck and enjoy!

Es la segunda que tengo. La primera por el mucho uso que le di, ya dejó de funcionar y no merecía la pena arreglarla. Es un aparato que merece la pena tener en la cocina. Es un electrodoméstico algo caro, pero merece la pena hacer muchos alimentos sin a penas aceite. El precio algo mejor que en tienda y el envío rápido y como siempre con Amazon sin ningún problema
