Customer Reviews for T-Fal T-Fal® ActiFry Low Fat Multi Cooker - Black

T-Fal T-Fal® ActiFry Low Fat Multi Cooker - Black

As mentioned as one of Oprahs favorite things, this unique multi cooker needs only one spoonful of oil to make two pounds of tasty, homemade French fries using a continual motion stirring paddle. You can use whichever type of oil you prefer to vary the taste and diversify your diet. The fryer can also be used to cook a wide range of other recipes: crispy fried vegetables, strips of meat and more. Recipe book included. Cover, non-stick pan and paddle are removable and dishwasher safe. Two-pound capacity. Model # FZ700251.

Best fryer ever

I have 2 Actifrys, one for meat and one for vegatables or rice. I had my first one for about 6 months and figured I could cook a meal with 2. The best way to use this product is cook your food from frozen. The defrosting while cooking makes your food moistened. I season, separate and freeze all my meats before cooking so don't have to defrost. Trust me if you try it from frozen, you will thank me.

My favorite small appliance...EVER!!! and I have been in the kitchen for 50 plus years! I am waiting for the cost of the Actifry to go down so that I can give them as gifts to my family AND buy an extra one for me so that I can prepare two separate foods at the same time!!!
My husband loves french fries, but has digestive problems...no more limits on how often he has them at home NOW!!!
Our family comes together each Sun., and I am taking my best new friend to prove it is the best fried chicken maker and the healthiest!!! TA DA!!! I win all the way around..don't walk, RUN to the nearest Bed Bath and Beyond for yours today!!!

This sounded like such a great product! French fries with only a tiny bit of oil, great! Except they taste like cardboard and take a long time and the machine is really noisy!!! I'm sending it back.

Disappointed

Does a good job on fries, but that's it. Paddle that rotates inside is poorly made and a very odd shape. Fish is destroyed as the paddles rotates and scrapes off any breading or coating put on whatever you are frying. Vegetables also get all caked up in a big clump as the paddle rotates. Very disappointed. I compared this with others, and thought this sounded better. My mistake. Also considered it because of the gift card I was supposed to receive, and I still haven't. I would not recommend except for fries.

Noisy, bulky, very expensive.

After reading reviews I decided to try it. It does NOT work well on fresh green bean recipe in their booklet OR fresh potatoes. The outside gets very hot and the cover requires you to push the two buttons on the front simultaneously. The lid pops up very quickly and you must keep an oven mitt on the top to prevent splattering. The unit is $200. so be sure and get a 20% coupon online before you purchase. I got in on the $75.00 Gift Card when I purchased it. I tried many of the recipes in the included booklet, some were good, most were just under acceptable. I found that if you cook something in it that requires a sauce towards the end, they were the best. The unit is very noisy. It basically is a hot air-blowing dehydrating machine that stirs the food by a paddle under the blast of hot air. One reviewer was correct, food bunches up in a pile in front of the paddle. Foods dry out, thus you get that "fried" quality of potato fries. The booklet recommends NOT to try anything coated with a batter. It just falls off. This is in the end, a big, bulky, noisy gadget. Save your money. I'm returning it. BB&B has a GREAT return policy up to a year.

Cooks good healthy food

This is a really neat item, but you do need to follow the instructions exactly, even to what type of food and what size to cut it. The yukon gold potatoes work like a charm and are delicious, but regular russet potatoes are not as good. Vegetables are deliciously tasty, but follow the directions or you will overcook them! One thing that was great is that you can cook fries without having to watch them, the machine does it all! You do need to be very careful when opening it because of the steam that escapes. It can be very hot!

This is a good machine that makes good french fries without all the oil. The turning mechanism sometimes gets stuck and doesn't turn. That is the only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5.

My son and I gave this product to my husband for his birthday. We have been cooking in it for just over a two weeks. We should have bought one years ago!!! We have done delicious hot wings, french fries, hashbrowns and last night potato chips. We did find that the salt does not stick to the potatoes like the grease coated ones in our past. Just a couple of minutes before the cooking is over we salted them and it worked perfectly. We love the ActiFry!!!!!

This item is great. I've used it to make all kinds of stir-fry and some apples. My only problem is that it needs to be bigger to make stir fry for 4. Maybe some day. I have not used it for potatoes but chicken and veggies it does a great job with little or no oil.

I have enjoyed the french fries made in the actifry. So far, and I've had it about a month, it seems to be just so-so for cooking. For example, It pulled the crumbly outside off my frozen chicken nuggets.
It gets pretty hot, the whole unit. I am surprised I didn't see anyone else mention this. I am afraid I am going to burn myself one day. Even the outside gets hot! And the cover sticks a lot when opening it.

Yes, it makes the best fries. No used oil that has been used before, therefore the taste is the best. I hate the heavy oily taste of fries. There is none of that with this machine. I fixed some great meals too. Love it !!!

I was hesitant to add another kitchen gadget, but I purchased a french fry cutter by Weston and wanted to make quick and easy fries without frying and surprisingly this little machine makes fabulous fries. I usually slice up 2-4 potatoes and place in the machine with 1-2 teaspoons of olive oil and seasoning, turn the machine on, set my own timer for about 20-25 minutes, and the fries come out perfect. I have also made a stir-fry with diced chicken and vegetables and it turned out great as well. It does take about 30 seconds for the agitator to start turning once the machine is turned on. Love the machine!

Recently purchased the ActiFry for my wife for Mothers Day. This is an awesome addition to our kitchen. We have been astonished at the number of things we can cook in it. From homemade granola to fried rice last night for dinner everything comes out tasting Great!! The best part is knowing we are eating healthier with less oil needed to cook. Even the fries come out crispy with only a little oil needed!! Great Product worth every dime!!
