Philipps Air Fryer may know one or the other of the television advertising. The Tefal Actifry is based on the same principle. The principle is essentially that very little oil is used and the temperature generated by hot air. The oil wets only the surface of the food - just as much as is necessary. In conventional Friteuesen contrast yes tons are used to fat. The result is almost the same, but it is much more pleasant to use. Fryers are always a little dangerous because of the risk of fire and the hot oil and the apartment smells of frying also not pleasant. What is especially very works well frying chicken legs etc. We have always done in the pan, with the Actifry is this odorless and without supervision - and the legs are afterwards fried absolutely evenly - Super!
Two disadvantages of Actifry: Firstly, the manual is a joke. Everything should be explained by pictograms - but they are simply incomplete and confusing. On the other hand, the device is very loud - so between vacuum cleaner and drill. The here often mentioned plastic odor appeared at the first operation and is almost completely gone but already at the second time. Since the noise bothered me deulich more. But still: This is the fryer of the 21st century :-)
