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...).
• For best results, the best place to store potatoes is in a dark cellar or cool cupboard (between 6 and 8°C),
away from the light.
• Remember that there can be seasonal variations in the quality of potatoes used, even for the varieties of
potato we recommend (Rooster, Maris Piper or King Edwards) these can also be affected by the weather ie
long, wet summers will produce potatoes with a higher water content than normal which may produce less
crisp results. If this happens, try changing the potatoes you are using.
• The way the potatoes are stored in Supermarkets can also affect the cooking result. Try buying potatoes
from a different supermarket or source.
• The chips must be perfectly dry before putting them in the pan otherwise they will not turn crispy. Wipe off
any excess ice from frozen chips.
• With Actifry, you can use a very wide variety of oils:
• Standard oils : olive oil, grape seed oil, corn oil, groundnut (peanut) oil, sunflower oil, soya oil*
• Flavoured oils : oils infused with aromatic herbs, garlic, chilli, lemon…
• Speciality oils : hazelnut*, sesame*…
(*cook according to the manufacturers instructions)
