 Real chips again December 20, 2007

Like a couple of the other reviewers I haven't deep-fried a chip for years because of the smell and mess of a traditional deep fat fryer, never mind the dangers of the old style chip pan.
I actually first found out about this product by watching the Gadget Show and was blown away by the idea. First thing I did was check out the Internet for reviews and much to my surprise it seemed like the real deal. If it's getting praise on the Delia Smith forums you know you're onto a winner.
I've been using it for a couple of weeks now and it's been a joy. So far I've done wedges, chunky cut unpeeled chips and skinnier peeled chips. The chunky unpeeled chips were my favourite - delicious with garlic and herb dip. The trouble with wedges being that they have too many points and edges which with the constant tumbling leads to "chipping" as they crisp. I've also used it to cook Aunt Bessies frozen chips and it does a far better job than the oven and only takes about 25 minutes. Don't add extra oil when doing frozen chips!
I haven't tried anything exotic meatwise, just some thin sausages. Throw them in at the same time as skinny chips or a little later with chunkier ones. Top it off with some onion at 15 mins to go and mushrooms for the last five minutes. Straight to the plate and slap a fried egg on top. Bliss.
On the bad side it is pretty noisy and takes up about a foot by a foot and half of bench space but it's so easy to keep clean I just stow it in it's box on top of the cupboard when I'm not using it. And because there aren't a couple of pints of boiling oil being used I'm confident enough to just set it tumbling and go and watch TV/read a book/work on my opera while it does its stuff.
This is the first kitchen gadget I've bought for ages that's actually exceeded my expectations.
Tastes fried, but lower in fat - Fantastic! March 7, 2008

I read up a lot about this product and got very mixed opinions. However I went ahead and bought one and love it!
You can cook so many things in it and they have all turned out lovely so far. There are no smells from it and it is so easy to clean.
Practically all of my family have tested the food from it and everyone has been very impressed - so much so that several of them have purchased one for themselves.
Superb April 6, 2008

Wonderful chips, If there are any critisism it is that the timer buzzer is faint and not very audible over the actifry when running, also it would be helpful if the timer turned it off. However sill a superb piece of cook ware.
UPDATE
I have now used for a few weeks and am still impressed however a few minor comments, For things like mince you can not leave it unatended but have to stir occasionaly (to be fair it does say this in the book) also the paddle stains easily (again in the book) however the thing to be most careful of is locking the paddle in place, you soon know if you have not as it makes about 4 times the noise and any sauce leaks through to under the pan (only did this once)
Excellent, supafantastic! January 29, 2008

I was sick of the disgusting smell from all my previous deep fat fryers and came across this wonderful gadget. As soon as I got it, it was out of the box and on with the chips. I used olive oil, being the healthy option, waited thirty five minutes and "Hey Presto!" they were done. Me and my wife devoured most of them, and took some to our neighbours for confirmation of how great they tasted, yep they agreed.I used a chip cutter on the french fry setting at first. but as soon as the first batch was gone I made another batch of chips on the larger setting on my chip cutter, and cooked them for 40 minutes. Absolutely fantastic!
Like previous comments that people have said, yep the alarm timer is a little quiet.
I was reluctant to part with 149, but now I am well impressed and dont feel ripped off.
Excellent. go and buy one right now!
Very good January 3, 2008

Well I bought one. 99 from Costco. Have to say, the 'real, fresh' chips are excellent, never believed they could be so different. I did enough chips for just myself, and the portion took 25 minutes to cook. Having been used to a deep fat fryer for years and years it was a bit of a gamble, but so far, very happy. They do take longer to cook, but reports of noise, sorry, have to disagree, The timer noise level is OK when it activates, but be warned, it doesn't stop cooking when the timer makes it's beep. The unit gets hot, (I told the wife not to touch the lid after she had laid hands on it!)Very easy to clean. Let's see how reliable it is. The unit is rated at 1400w, my old fryer was rated at 2100w, so it is using less electric, but needs to run for longer. I guess the real benefit is with the healthy way the food is cooked and the very small amount of oil used. Recommended.
