Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of T-fal FZ700050 ActiFry Low-Fat Healthy Dishwasher Safe Multi-Cooker, White
Customer Review: Pricey but brilliant and well worth it nevertheless
Summary: 5 Stars
It took me a long time to buy one of these because of the exceedingly high price and eventually the deciding factors were simply that: 1 we never got real chips as my wife would not use the electric deep oil fryer for calorific and cleaning reasons; and 2 a black model was introduced. You will note that this is all very logical indeed of course.
My wife initially threw a wobbler when it arrived in my absence ("Something else to clutter up my benches - where are we going to keep it?" Answer "On the bench by the window with the bread maker and coffee machine". She then threw another wobbler when I told her the price, even though it was only 149GBP with a free Tefal non-stick frying pan and a lovely substantial 160 page soft back recipe book.
The concept and machine itself are brilliant - it cooks almost anything in minimal 1 or 2 measuring spoons (14 or 28mls) of oil or no oil at all by blasting hot air over the food which is shuffled around by an ingenious paddle device. It cooks from frozen too.
The book includes recipes from all over the world for beef, pork, lamb, rabbit, chicken, fish, prawns, vegetables, fruit and lots more nice things. There are many different recipes for potatoes and chips. Despite all those my favourite is my own - chips or wedges in their skins flavoured with sea salt, pepper, garlic, mixed herbs or tarragon and ras el hanout, a Moroccan spice blend including rose petals.
The machine has been used nearly every day since it arrived, being one of the best cooking devices I have ever purchased along with the slow-cooker.
I have only three minor criticisms: 1 the lid section and pan itself are of very light construction, the plastic lid especially being somewhat flimsy, spoiling an otherwise well made product; 2 the pan is too small to cook a decent-sized meal for 3 people; and 3 the small pan means that if full chips and other items can end up being pushed up on to the area between the pan and base unit it fits into (where there is a gap that small things can fall into) hence not cooking unless put back immediately.
Shop around as this item comes a lot cheaper than the 200GBP recommended retail price. God knows where some of the almost universal $300 "discounted" price here comes from. The Tefal shop was the best value for the limited edition black one at the time of my purchase at 150GBP post-free with a free frying pan (how many they are limited to is not stated - dare I ask as they are still freely available - a blue one next perhaps followed by all other colours of the rainbow?). Now I see it's back to the full 200GBB price with no freebie. Nevertheless buy one - you won't be disappointed. The plain white one is at least 10GBP cheaper than the black one!
Finally, in response to the comment in another review, no the timer has not been improved on the latest models and despite what is said of the filter, invisible fumes can still set smoke alarms off and you can smell the cooking but it smells lovely.
