Purchase on a whim to feel good eating chips (lol) and purchase I do not regret! We can do many things there other than fries. The fries are cooked through and crispy, whether frozen or fresh (just wash them and dry them especially well). As for meat, they are well cooked, and with a little cooking in the Actifry, my pork ribs, provences embellished with herbs, gave me the impression of eating barbecue in the middle of November!
