I have a LOT of gadgets in my kitchen. I was really skeptical about adding yet another device to my countertop, especially since I couldn’t quite put my finger on my reason for needing it. I just knew that I did, and now I don’t know what I’d do without it. If you’re thinking about purchasing an air fryer such as the T-fal Actifry for yourself or for a loved one this holiday season, here are a few reasons to go for it.
My T-fal Actifry Original arrived in January of 2018, and it’s been used at least once a week ever since.
it’s so easy to use.
If you’re thinking that the T-fal Actifry will be overwhelming to use, worry no more. The T-fal Actifry has exactly two buttons: (1) Off/On, and (2) Timer. That’s it. Once you add the food, just push the Off/On button, and on it goes. The paddle inside rotates the food as it cooks, for perfectly crispy food every time. Use the optional timer to set the cook time and it will remind you with a buzzing sound when it’s time to turn it off.
2. use less oil than regular frying.
Say goodbye to greasy food, the T-fal Acritfy fries with only 1 Tablespoon of fat. You can use olive oil, avocado oil, duck fat, or whatever fat you like. Simply add 1 Tablespoon along with the potatoes, chicken wings, or vegetables in the nonstick pan (PTFE AND PFOA FREE), and the air fryer does it’s thing. The paddle inside rotates the food for even cooking.
For potatoes, for best results make sure they are 100% dry before air frying.
3. Wings. Always a crowd pleaser.
Forget pan frying or trying to perfectly rotate chicken wings in your oven. Simply add them to the T-fal Actifry, sprinkle with kosher salt and garlic powder, add 1 TBSP of oil, and let the Actifry work it’s magic for about 30 minutes.
4. Everyone eats their veggies
You won’t have to bribe anyone to eat their vegetables when you cook them in the T-fal Actifry. My family enjoys broccoli, brussel sprouts and string beans so much more when prepared in the Actifry. Any vegetable can be cooked effortlessly without having to turn on the oven. Perfectly crispy every time.
5. No Mess.
The splatter proof lid and self-turning paddle lets you push one button and let the T-fal Actifry do the rest. No more oil splashing all over your cooktop. Plus, the pan and paddle are dishwasher safe so clean up is a no brainer.
