The Tefal Actifry deep fat fryer is proving to be very popular at the moment – and that’s probably due to the small amount of oil it needs. This revolutionary new fryer allows you to cook enough chips to feed a family of four with just one spoonful of oil and only 3% fat!

By using just one spoonful of oil you can make 1kg of homemade chips, which is enough to feed a family of four. That one spoonful is 100 times less than a traditional deep fat fryer, which not only means that your food is substantially more healthy, but it is also more economical and is also 100% safe, unlike some traditional methods of frying.

Here’s some of the features of the Actifry:

• No preheating required ready to use when you are
• Large viewing window to observe cooking
• Non-stick, removable bowl
• 1kg food capacity
• 1 spoonful of oil is enough for 1kg of chips
• Odourless filter
• Automatic cover opening/closing
• Timer
• Audible warning at end of cooking period
• 1400W
• Includes Recipe Book
• Part of the Tefal Nutritious & Delicious range
