Tonyav, just look online at Argos or PC World and search actifryer, you will see the pictures. I was torn between a new deep fat fryer and an actifry when my last deep fat fryer went wrong. I thought the actifryer was too big and after consulting friends for their opinions I decided to stay with the deep fat fryer.

[tonyav]

Right will check them out, furrypusscat. Thanks.

At over £200 for one, I'd buy a chip pan or a wok.

Wolf.....I've been using two for ages and haven't had a fire.....though I'm not adverse to visits from firemen....so they must be safe.... ;-)

OG...if you only want to cook chips in it then save your money.....I have had chips once or twice.....not a chip fan....but I use it for so many other things that it's worth its weight in gold to me.....I don't heat a large oven for small portions for one or two.....cooks pretty much unsupervised......as I say....my oven is almost redundant.....

It may do, Alav.....but guess they knew I don't need instructions for that.....years of practice..... ;-)

I paid £70 for my Phillips one and £49 for the Lidl one......I like them both but the Lidl one just has the edge.....x

We have a Breville. It's really good. I paid £100 for it at Argos

[kvalidir]

They vary in price Melv from about £30- about £300 and we cook literally everything in ours, not just chips, best thing we ever bought.

[melv16]

Can you use lard or dripping in them?;-)

[murraymints]

Thank you all for your answers... xx

I have the Tefal Actifry. Best night I have bought for the kitchen.
Lamb chops are so much better poked in it rather than grilled.

[Caran]
