Deep fryer Tefal ActiFry

Damn, today I was scouring the big shops of the city of St. Petersburg in search of this mysterious Tefal ActiFry fryer.
There is nowhere. Bastards, they could write on their website that they can't get it. The salespeople look at my husband and I as if we were impressed. They do not understand what it is all about. And everyone is interested, and everyone needs to explain. Ahhh, I wrote a question to Tefal Consumer Services. The husband says that sooner this fryer will appear on sale than they will answer. We'll see.
But in fact, such a bummer

[Freken bok]

Freken boksay a new fryer from Tefal ActiFry is due in June. The announcement says: the ability to cook 1 kg of French fries for 1 tbsp. spoon of oil. Cooking a variety of dishes: fried vegetables, meat, fish, fruit desserts, etc. Convenience: Stirring function during cooking. Hot air convection



I myself am waiting to see, but its price will not be small - 7900 rubles. But you cannot fry pies and pasties in it, since there is a mixing function. I wonder if there is a provision for disabling this function (I doubt it)

Here, too, I looked at her, then the question also arose about pasties and pies. It is probably impossible to turn off mixing, maybe the blade can be removed. But, then another question is how to make pasties in 1 tbsp of butter without stirring. It turns out this is more likely not a deep fryer, but a frying pan with an airfryer and a stirrer, which will make potatoes and vegetables well, but how is chicken in batter? Will smear everything along the bottom.
As a result, I bought Delongy with a rotating basket for 1 liter of oil. Hands have not yet reached the pasties, but the meat and shrimp turned out great and it is easy to wash + a container with a filter for storing oil.
We will wait until someone buys and tells us what kind of animal it is from Tefal.

And what is the point in it! Only fry potatoes for 1 tbsp. l. with automatic stirring for 7900 rubles.
So it can be done cheaper - in a deep frying pan or finally in the master pilaf. In it at least you can make soups and bake meat, etc.
Just look at my potatoes, how beautiful they are, and I make them in a frying pan according to the same principle, and cover with a lid for convection.
We bought deep fryers for French fries, which most people openly collect dust on the far shelf, now the next toy is one with a lot of oil, the other with a little.
No girl, it is beautiful, but pampering several times, and not practical. My opinion!

[And what is the point in it! Only fry potatoes for 1 tbsp. l. with automatic stirring for 7900 rubles.]

And what is the point in it! Only fry potatoes for 1 tbsp. l. with automatic stirring for 7900 rubles.
Not only potatoes, but everything that is fried with whole pieces.

And now about myself and why I want to buy it. I want to fry in a small amount of oil, not because it is fashionable, but because for my health I need to avoid the usual frying pan frying with a large amount of oil. At the same time, they are forced to eat vegetables, which, in principle, I cannot eat boiled and stewed, with very few exceptions. Isn't there a way to eat normal fried vegetables? In a frying pan, if you don't add a lot of oil, they turn out terrible.
On top of that, it has a timer and pours out when the food is ready. It's much more comfortable for me than hanging around the stove.
By the way, one girl on the internet wrote that she fries potatoes on it without oil at all. And this fact makes me very happy.
And one more argument - I want to buy it because I can. Why not? And you will learn from my mistakes. Fact, you benefit from it too

foxtrader, deep fryer Tefal ActiFry, appeared on the technosila website
🔗, while only in stores in St. Petersburg and Moscow.

[foxtrader]

foxtrader, we are waiting for the results of the test drive !!!! It is very interesting if this deep fryer can also be used for its intended purpose (french fries, pasties, donuts, etc.)

And as for the calorie content, she herself was sure that it was harmful, fatty, .... But recently leafing one cookbook (a very respected publication), compared the calorie content of a serving of baked potatoes and potatoes fried in slices in deep fat. The difference is only 10 calories !!!

People, I bought it. And I found it only in Megamart, in Ramstore, at the station. m. Pionerskaya (Peter). In other places, she was not at least a week ago. And yesterday I accidentally met.
Unfortunately, there is absolutely no time to test it properly. Tomorrow we are going to the village, to give the cat, and then home for just a couple of days and fly away far away In general, for three weeks.
But I came here on purpose now to ask you not to rush into the purchase. Better to wait a little longer. She will not disappear anywhere.
And now I will tell you about my first impression. The first impression is pretty scary, sorry. The stuff is huge. The frying pan is light inside and looks like a cheap one with a cheap coating. In appearance, the multicooker surface is an order of magnitude higher. I hope that only in appearance. The final conclusion in this direction can be made only after rather long use, if the Teflon spraying (or what is there?) Does not fly earlier.
Today I made the stuffing for my pseudo-whites, from fried onions with mushrooms and chicken + sour cream. She fried them and dried them a little. Either frozen mushrooms are not very suitable for this, or we must not forget that there is still not bad convection.

The "paddle" moves rather slowly, while filling like mine can gather around itself, and the other part of the pan may be out of work. while the contents of the pan do not really want to mix, but simply crawls stupidly behind the spatula. The recipe book says so (Open the lid, stir for more even browning). Not all the time, of course, but it's unpleasant all the same. And since this scapula is also not acidic in size, it is not that very convenient to interfere. Pour the contents into a plate too. And if you remove the spatula, a hole will gap in the bottom of the pan, into which your ingredients can "nicely" fall right onto the table. There are, of course, small sides at this hole, but they rather resemble a designer's joke, and not a moment thought out for convenience.

And I do not advise putting too many ingredients in this frying pan - they can over the edge. However, there is a maximum filling of the container. And I didn't even think about it. strange, but nothing went over, although I tried very hard

Maybe I am exaggerating at the moment and this is only the first impression, but it is there and I decided that I could not leave without telling you about it.
Otherwise, everything was fried quite nice
It should be checked on potatoes and meat. And sauces in it can be wonderful to do.

So I wonder how she will make chips? Because from the review it seemed to me that the design was hefty damp. We wanted the best ...

And she will not make chips, because she is not a deep fryer. Rather, a frying pan + convection at the same time, which interested me. Plus a closed container, which gives a taste different from the usual devices. In a slow cooker, the taste of the dishes is not the same as that of dishes from ordinary castrbli. Well something like that. It also seemed to me that this bloat is damp. Although it can be interesting if used correctly. I think the vegetables from it will be very even. By the way, my chicken then managed to get a crust, which was quite a pleasant surprise. T. to.when I throw it in the stewed mushrooms, it is more likely to be stewed in the same way than baked or fried. One owl, you need to conjure over her.

OOO Very interesting ...
I thought that there the blade is attached like a bread machine, and it would be logical, and so some kind of incomprehensible hole ... this alone is scary, and the coating is also questionable and the price is not weak.
And I already dreamed about her
Test and share your experiences. Let's look forward to it.

I will even take a picture of everything and explain, but sooner after arrival already. And then we have here and fees and repairs at the same time + moving furniture, because the floors will be done to us while we are on vacation. And there is an array without varnish. Because of all this, I can't get out on the Internet for two months. Even now, I write quickly from the PDA.
And the hole there naturally forms when the blade is removed. She must somehow be attached to the pan itself.

I report further:
I fried red fish with onions and bell peppers. Delicious. But you can do just as well in a frying pan. I did not notice a strong difference.
I also fried potatoes. Delicious. It tastes like something between French fries and country-style fries from McDonald's. Perhaps you can't do that in a frying pan. Her crust was crispy and "dried out", but soft inside. Her husband called her jerky potatoes. I didn't add much oil. And I didn't salt it at all. I didn’t notice the absence of salt, perhaps just a little. But it didn't bother me. I sprinkled it with spices before frying.
If she fries me the same vegetables, I will be happy. This is what interested me. Next time I'll fry potatoes without oil at all.
Even now I think that the chips can be portrayed in it.
And yet, for now, I still have the same opinion that it is not worth the money. Until

One photo shows how she chased onions and peppers in a pan. I had to interfere a couple of times. When there are enough ingredients, she can't drive them around like that, and they lazily waddle over the shoulder blade.
I did not interfere with the potatoes at all.

Piece of instructions:

Sori Pitertsy for a mistake. The store is called MediaMarkt.

and there are happy owners of the Tefal ActiFry Fryer (FZ7000), share your impressions ...

Yes, but judging by the reviews, not so happy. Right here https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/in...ion=com_smf&topic=503.150 answer # 153 from foxtrader- specifically about this deep fryer.

Brothers, yesterday I hatched naturally, in the window with this item:


🔗 (link is for example). Here. The seller praised me in every way: like, a revolution in cooking: 1 tbsp. tablespoons of vegetable oil for 1 kilogram of finished French fries. And not just potatoes. In this way, almost any product is baked / fried.

Believe it, honestly with difficulty.

Brothers, maybe someone has already tried it? Because the price is not weak either. And there is less and less space in the kitchen. Any acquisition can be fatal.

On the other hand, Tefal does not seem to be throwing openly like that. I have not the worst attitude towards her.

Luke
This device (deep fryer) was at one time very actively discussed on the forum, here:

https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=503.0

I, too, then caught fire by buying it, and then read ... and read more ... and cooled down ...

And I bought ActiFru last Saturday. The above reviews did not scare me away. By the way, in my opinion, it is not as huge as it was written about in the reviews. True, I have not fried anything on it yet. In the coming days I will try to cook fries and will definitely write a review.

I finally made the fries! It turned out very tasty! True, not all of the slices were crunchy! However, maybe I didn't cut them thin enough

if you cut it thinly, then you get not fries, but chips, and for chips without oil, I bought a plastic special plate for the microwave at the Santahouse - for 200re and 5 minutes you get real crispy chips

Chantal, and what a plate looks like, enlighten, please.

I bought Tefal for one friend, but could not resist, opened and cooked first potatoes, then something chicken, and then fried dumplings - I liked them the most! All the juice remained inside! Only good impressions!

And no one believes me anymore? I really liked the potatoes there. The rest is nonsense. Not worth your money. Imagine a pan with hot air. Basically, it roasts and dries at the same time. For me personally, everything turned out to be dry at least. I love juiciness. First she played, and then she put it in the closet, where she still lies to this day.
In a word, if there is nowhere to put money, and you don’t like the stagnation of the same thing in the kitchen, then please buy yourself a whole week of entertainment. If there was an opportunity to turn back time, then I would not buy it for sure.

and there are happy owners of the Tefal ActiFry Fryer (FZ7000), share your impressions ...

I've got one since the new year. He fries potatoes perfectly, only the cubes should not be small, but 10x10, if they are less dark and soft. My daughter (4.5 years old) even fried it herself, that is, she peeled the potatoes with a special knife (I just tweaked it a little), cut it with a neiser and poured it into the deep fryer. I sprinkled a little oil and set the time (for 1 kg for about 40 minutes) and my daughter turned on the frying pan - the potatoes turned out to be delicious.
In addition to potatoes, I made stewed vegetables, chicken, meatballs in it, stewed potatoes, and fried dumplings (frozen).
In general, the thing is interesting, but very expensive ...

I have the same model and also since winter .... I bought it with discounts for 6400, and a little Moulinex was also a gift. In principle, with such a purchase scheme, there is still nothing .... It is convenient to cook in it and there is little oil, which attracted me. I adapted to fry seeds and nuts in it. it turns out fine. turned it on, fell asleep and let it interfere. You can always open the lid and try, when you close it, it will continue to work. It’s bad that it doesn’t turn itself off, but it’s not like a nodo either, because the temperature is high there ... it’s impossible to chill for a long time, it will burn. We must immediately free the vessel. You can leave the meat after turning off, but the potatoes should be immediately on the table, and they are tastier when hot. Well, ...... that the multicooker is better, I bought it later. Although when I was looking for a deep fryer, I saw a cartoon, but I did not take it seriously. Then, only when I read about it on the forums, I regretted that I had not bought it earlier.

And I am one of those who bought this item and am very happy with it, the only inconvenience is that it is very expensive. But the weight is very good
(to my mind). You just need to get the hang of setting the time for frying, so that it does not dry out. He makes potatoes very well, and without any interference, everything itself interferes. She fried meat and steaks that were not cooked for barbecue (I only removed the stirrer when frying steaks), dries bread and makes crackers, made baked cheesecakes, cutlets, shrimps, chicken legs. I like that you don't have to stand over the pan, stir and check. It saves a lot of time and again little oil. In general, it works like an Airfryer.

I probably wouldn't have bought it either, but for a gift horse .... In general, I am happy with it, at first I also made chicken in it, several times different vegetables, meatballs, dumplings fried. But I really liked to dry the croutons - 10 minutes and excellent crumbled cubes are ready. And of course potatoes - my daughter loves it very much, I often make "dry potatoes" for her; I like potatoes better when they are cut into large 10x10 mm pieces.

I have the same model since winter .... I bought it with discounts for 6400, and a little Moulinex was also a gift. In principle, with such a purchase scheme, there is still nothing ....

Then, only when I read about it on the forums, I regretted that I had not bought it earlier.

And my Actifry has already left for repairs. The hot air blowing and the spinner stopped working. As for the device: this is more likely not a deep fryer but an electric pan with auto stirring. The main advantages are that it mixes itself during frying and cooks very cleanly, i.e. nothing is stained with splashes of fat (as on the stove, for example, when frying in a pan), the disadvantages are that there is no auto-shutdown (there is a built-in timer, but it works by itself, it only emits sounds) , there are no preset cooking programs. It is worth noting that the device itself is quite noisy (well, this is understandable - because of the air blowing). Its price now (in the store - 8999r) is quite high for such limited functionality (compared to a multicooker, for example). The idea of ​​the device is very interesting, but clearly incomplete.

I also wanted Actifry, but most likely I'll wait until they finalize and release the next version ...

I had an idea to improve the cooking process in Actifry myself .... You can try to connect it via a timer ... I mean purchased separately and set the same 20-30 minutes on it. She will turn off herself. We need to experiment the other day .... And to fry the meat in it is even nothing ... We recently came from nature and brought marinated meat for kebabs ... Well, we couldn't eat everything there. So in this thing, it is so nicely browned, like a real kebab. And it interferes with itself, very convenient. I didn't get the meat right after the shutdown, it was still slowly languishing. So the owners of Actifry have a field for activity. Share your best practices.

a question about Actifry. Does the potato look like fries there? Like at McDonald's or like at home in a frying pan?

In Actifry, the fries are like fries, but not as oily. It is dried and fried evenly. Hot delicious ... You need to get it from the refrigerator and pamper your loved ones ... you can also fry the seeds)))

I already bought it :-) I suggest opening a Temka with recipes. I have pumpkin jam in it well. And the chicken is not very good.

Alyonka, congratulations! I am "for" - this is about the recipes ... And about the pumpkin can be more detailed? For what money did you buy? the price has not dropped?

cut the pumpkin into cubes, covered it with sugar, squeezed a lemon, left it overnight. in the morning I poured it into this frying pan, cooked for 5-10 minutes and left it off, after a while again, until it turned into jam. In a bread maker, this does not work, there is more like jam.
And the price - I don't know what it was before. We bought it in a store (in Kiev) for UAH 2,500. approximately (a dollar we have about 8 UAH costs).

I have a tefal deep fryer, completely satisfied.
The chicken in it turns out just to lick your fingers, only the most important thing is that the chicken must first be defrosted, otherwise it may not work!

Or rather? I thawed the fillets, cut and fried. It turned out very dry :-( Did you have to marinate? Or add something?

I pre-marinate, you can simply in mayonnaise, or in any purchased marinade.

And I am very happy with it. True, there is a lot of money, it is not worth it. But I really like the potatoes. We do it often. With different dressings. There are many recipes in her booklet. I did a lot too. The meat is very juicy, the fish is delicious. The main thing is not to overcook, then everything is so fragrant and juicy. Time must be observed very clearly.
The legs are so easy to fry without seasoning, they are very juicy. I fry for about 25 minutes, and then I try it with a knife. Everything depends on the size of the legs.
I made frozen vegetables with all sorts of dressings and sauces, also delicious. But I prefer meat. The book contains a recipe for a sweet and salty series, pork with pineapples, and I really liked the meat, the recipe for which contains sugar.

I'll raise the topic. ActiFry made me happy again. In winter I only have potatoes and seeds on it, and now I make grilled vegetables. It tastes similar.
I cut eggplants and zucchini into rings, pepper into quarters, add garlic, a little salt, a little oil. And I turn it on for 10-15 minutes. Not as greasy as in a skillet and no need to turn over.
You can also add tomatoes and mushrooms, I guess.

Girls, and who did not succeed in Aktivfray? I think (or rather, I try to persuade myself NOT) to buy this thing ... our price in Kiev is about UAH 1300, something fell on it ... What are the disadvantages? Dries food? Noisy? Too big? What else?

Well, in general, now I have this unit ... here, I fry potatoes for testing in a country style. There are 10 minutes left until the end of frying, I came to see how she was there - and she is so beautiful !! As in the picture in the recipe booklet, I have never succeeded in doing this, neither in the oven, nor in the slow cooker, nor in the pan, well, nowhere. I guess the taste won't be disappointing either. I don’t regret the purchase, for now.
ps Yes, I admit, it was another attack of device addiction, and only here, on the forum, they can understand me - having bought a second bread machine, start baking bread in the oven

having bought a second bread machine, start baking bread in the oven

as they say now, +500 !!!!!!!

Please tell me if you can use this miracle without a rotating blade?

The pancake caught fire with a deep fryer without oil and now I can't get rid of Tefal or Philips

Well, I got this

I bought it on an outlet for 1839 UAH with delivery I will try to cook. unsubscribe. here is just a book of recipes in Polish

Well, I am reporting this unit very useful to me, since I cook lunch at work. Here is my first experience. Stew
pork meat is salted in pieces, sprinkled with seasoning for pork meat + 0.5 sakana water was cooked for 15 minutes. added onion and another 15 minutes









And here are the fries, but they turned out a little overdried. The grater rubs finely and I set 40 minutes ... and went to work and came back an hour later. Well, we'll fix it next time
