Nutrition is about having a varied and well balanced diet… however it is also about far more than just the
ingredients. How they are prepared and cooked can significantly affect their nutritional value, and have a major
impact on their taste and texture.
Nutrition is therefore also about the differences in composition between the many preparation methods and
cooking appliances available today. With this in mind, has developed a specific range of appliances that
are dedicated to NUTRITION FOR GREATER PLEASURE: ingenious culinary appliances which preserve the
nutritional integrity and enhance the true taste of the ingredients.

For the best results with your ,
we advise following our recommendations on
the type of potatoes and oil to use.
The potato: balance and pleasure on a daily basis!
Potatoes are an excellent source of energy and contain vitamins. Potatoes vary enormously in size, shape and taste
according to the variety, climate and growing conditions. Each variety has its particular cropping time, yield, size,
colour, keeping quality and culinary uses. A potato’s characteristics when cooked may vary according to its origin
and seasonality.
Which variety should I use ?
As a general rule, we suggest that you use special potatoes that have been recommended for chipping. In many
supermarkets the information on the packaging tells you which varieties are suitable for making chips. We
recommend varieties such as King Edward and Maris Piper for good results.
When potatoes have been freshly harvested, they have a higher water content, we recommend cooking the chips
for a few more minutes.
Where should I store potatoes?
The best place to store potatoes is in a dark cellar or cool cupboard (between 6 and 8°C), away from the light.
How should I prepare potatoes for ?
To obtain the best results, you must ensure that the chips do not stick together. With this in mind, wash the whole
potatoes and then cut them into chips using a sharp knife or chip cutter. The chips should be of equal size so that
they cook at the same time. Wash the chipped potatoes in plenty of cold water until it runs clear in order to remove
as much of the starch as possible. Dry the chips thoroughly using a clean highly absorbent tea towel. The chips
must be perfectly dry before putting them in the otherwise they will not turn crispy. To check that
they are dry enough pat them with paper kitchen towel just before cooking. If there is any wetness on the paper
dry them again. Remember the cooking time of the chips will vary according to the weight of chips and the batch
of potatoes used.
How should I cut the potatoes?
The size of a chip influences how crunchy or soft it is. The thinner your chips, the more crunchy they will be and
conversely, thicker chips will be softer inside. You can cut your chips to the following thickness and length according
to your tastes:
In Actifry the maximum recommended chip thickness is 13mm x 13mm and a length of up to 9cm.
Thickness: American style: 8 x 8mm / Thin: 10 x 10mm / Standard: 13 x 13mm
Length: Up to approx 9cm.
Try a variety of different oils for good health
You can vary the type of oil depending on your choice with 1 spoonful of oil for 1 kg of potatoes.
Choose a different oil every time you cook!
With , you can use a very wide variety of oils:
• Speciality oils : hazelnut*, sesame*…
(*cook according to the manufacturers instructions)
With its low quantity of oil for each use, the technology of helps in providing a healthier, nutritionally
balanced diet.
With , you can make chips with a better nutritional quality. For
extra flavour, you can add 1 or 2 additional spoonfuls of oil for even more taste
but this will increase the fat content.

ActiFry cooking hints and tips
• Do not add salt to chips while the chips are in the pan. Only add salt once the
chips are removed from the appliance at the end of cooking.
• When adding dried herbs and spices to Actifry, mix them with some oil or liquid.
If you try sprinkling them directly into the pan they will just get blown around by
the hot air system.
• Please note that strong coloured spices may slightly stain the paddle and parts
of the appliance. This is normal.
• For best results, use finely chopped garlic instead of crushed garlic to avoid it
adhering to the central paddle.
• If using onions in ActiFry recipes, they are best thinly sliced instead of chopped
as they cook better. Separate the onion rings before adding them to the pan and
give them a quick stir so that they are evenly distributed.
• With meat and poultry dishes, stop the appliance and stir the pan once or twice
during cooking so that the food on top does not dry out and the dish thickens
evenly.
• Prepare vegetables in small pieces or stir fry size to ensure they cook through.
• This appliance is not suitable for recipes with a high-liquid content (eg. soups,
cook-in sauces...).
