LOVING IT

"This is the best fryer I ever invested in. Made by T-fal, and made in France, another 2 reasons to purchase it. Takes so little oil and the food comes out great. The homemade fries I made were perfect.
I would highly recommend thisproduct.

Absolutely amazing

Date:April 21, 2013
"Bought this today at my local CT store, they price matched another store in town.
Tried fries out first, as every one states they were great.
Then tried out the saucy chicken with pineapple for supper, This was restaurant quality food, or better.
Both my wife and I really loved the food, we can't wait to try other T-fal recipes.
We don't eat fries often, but now we may do so a lot more.
Thanks to our great Canadian Tire store we were able to afford this (retired) and believe it is worth every penny. I am still savoring the after taste from supper. AMAZING.
I hope the product lasts a long time as we love it.

It is out of the closet to stay!

Date:March 19, 2013
"So many of these counter sitting small appliances are nothing more then gadgets which rarely work as advertised which end up sitting in the pantry awaiting the next yard sale or joining the hundreds of other ones on Kijiji. This machine is the real thing. It is quallity made, well engineered and works as promised.
I have only had it for a few weeks so have not tried to many of the recipes but what we have had so far hasn't diaspointed us.

Great Fryer

Date:February 2, 2013
"I was debating buying this fryer but hesitated which turned out great because I got it for Christmas. It works wonderful and does a beautiful job on home fries. I haven’t tried it on stews yet but plan to try it soon.
I would have given this fryer 5 stars if it weren’t for the touchy release on the lid, it opens to easy and pops open every time I try and store it away. However my satisfaction in the food quality compensates for this minor nuisance.

"Try the pineapple chicken recipe! Wish it could make more at a time though. Love the fries, they taste great! Easy to clean but the scoop is also easy to lose."

Best thing EVER

"The fries alone are totally worth buying this machine, but you can also make bacon without splatter!! There's a whole cookbook full of other stuff that I haven't even tried yet and their facebook page is always posting more ideas too."

"Had mine for 6 months now, would be lost without it now. Yes, makes great fries. Not good at "coated" or "battered" food, the paddle chews the coating off. Good though at reheating things with harder batter such as chicken balls. For the fries, you can use healthier oils that you can't for regular frying, such as walnut oil, olive oil or avocado oil. Haven't tried sweet potato fries yet as not keen on them, but have read mixed reviews, some say yes, some say no.
But think of it way beyond French fries, think of it as a self-stirring frying pan or pot. Stir fries, risottos, curries, stews, braised meats in sauces, chicken wings in sauces, shrimp dishes, etc. You toss things in and go about your business while it "minds the stove" for you.
Comes with an amazing recipe book that will get you thinking; one of the few such product recipe books I've ever found useful. You can tell its European origins though by some of the recipes -- there's one that calls for rabbit, and another for duck fat! This cookbook was written by people who really cook!
Every single part (except the motor) goes in the dishwasher."

Good, but wait for a sale

Date:July 2, 2012
"We don't use it so much but do occasionally make fries with it. We only cook them for about half the time recommended to get fries similar to chip-wagon consistancy. We find that cooking them for 40 minutes to try and get them crispy ends up giving the somewhat of a chewy texture."

Fantastic Product

Date:March 23, 2012
"I've looked at the Acti-Fry for quite a while, but the price put me off a bit.
Finally broke down and bought one (rationalized that we'd save over $100 a year on oil) and discovered it's like a mini convection oven! Does more than just fries, the recipe book includes dip, chili, stir fry and desserts! Haven't tried any yet but looking forward to!
Works great for frozen sweet potato fries (my trial run). I was worried they'd be all mushed up, even doing them in the oven can cause them to break up. They came out crisp, golden and whole!"

"Put your potatoes in with 1 TBS oil, by the time you make your bacon and eggs, they are are ready. Cubed potatoes make awesome hash browns just like the fried ones of a restaurant. Minimum calories."

LOVE IT!!

Date:January 10, 2012
"Received as a Christmas gift. Hasn't left the counter! Have used it everyday. Made perogies, turned out crunchy, finger food. Kids love them. I have made chicken wings from frozen, chicken pieces, sweet potato fries, regular fries, potato wedges. All turned out delicious!! It says to season after cooking, I found that the seasoning doesn't stick, so I season after I add the oil (but the chicken doesn't need any added oil, so season before adding) LOVE IT!"
