Hi,

Anyone got one of these? If so what do you cook in it? We use our deep fryer a lot and I like the idea that this is so much healthier.

I love my actifry, having an Autistic daughter that doesnt have much variety in what she will eat I use mine probably every two or three days. It cooks 1kg bag of store bought chips....you dont add any oil for these. Otherwise it works great with a tablespoon of oil for homemade chips or wedges. Only takes about 20-30 mins or so to cook, you just chuck it in press a button and wait for it to do its stuff. Nuggets and mini spring rolls also come up great in it. I havent actually tried any of the other recipes but it comes with a book of recipes.
