Which oil do you use? They all seem to have the same amount of calories so does it matter? Thanks

    We are on our 2nd actifry - 1st one caught fire - 2nd one is the larger FAMILY version.

    I either use vegetable oil or olive oil - both work equally well!

    I cook oven chips, roast potatoes, chicken - just using 1 tablespoon of oil - VERY low calorie and delicious !!

    :bigsmile:
  • Thanks! I used to use it all the time, doing slimming world! how do you count your calories for the chips? Count the cals for potatoes and oil?

    Yes - if I cook 'fresh' chips, I add 1tbsp of oil, and count the cals = chips + oil
    If you cook 'oven' chips, I don't add any oil, so cals = chips

    In my early morning daze i thought this was a medical condition..../slap
  • I have one, and I dont use oil, I use a spray called Frylight, its a 1 cal spray
  • i use frylight as well but i was very impressed with the flora spray, gave the chips a chippy taste but without the grease!

    Jatcat - they're brill!
