Hi All

Here is a thread for those who own a Tefal Actifry where we can share recipes with each other.

I'll make a start. Here are some recipes I have made in mine.

♥ Actifry Full English Breakfast ♥

SYN FREE ON EXTRA EASY. READY IN 20-25 MINUTES & USES LESS POTS/PANS THAN DOING A NORMAL FULL ENGLISH

Ingredients:
2 Joe's Sausages
2-3 rashes of smoked bacon cut into chunks
1 small potato cut into cubes
A few mushrooms chopped into chunks
Half a tin of baked beans
Half a tin of chopped tomatoes
1 Egg, poached or fried

Method:
I cooked the sausages & potatoes for 10 minutes in the Actifry first of all. Then added the chopped bacon for a further 10 minutes. Add the mushrooms & allow to brown for around 5 minutes.
Add the baked beans & tomatoes.
Cook your egg to your liking in a pan & serve altogether.

    ♥ Mmmm yummy homemade chips in only 25 minutes ♥

    All I did was peel 640g worth of potatoes into chips, you can buy crinkle cutters if you want them to look like mine shown in the photo.
    I then put them in the Actifry, sprayed with frylight & left them to cook for 25 minutes.

    Yes I did parsnips! I did made them this past weekend. Made a second batch as they were so tasty. I sliced them pretty thin on a mandolin then just threw them into the actifry with the tbsp of canola oil. Let them go until they were really browned and crispy. Like little chips. A couple of friends dropped by just as the second batch was done and they really liked them too!

    Hi

    Thank you for the yummy recipes :-)

    I do have an Actifry, but I'm embarrassed to say I have only cooked a few 'dry' things in it.
    I don't understand how to cook any meals cooked with added liquids, because to me, the liquid will flow out of the central hole in the pan!

    Can you advise please, as I'd love to do more with my Actifry :-)

    Thanks!
