Should you be thinking of buying a Tefal Actifry or the Philips Air Fryer, you will either be pondering about eating more healthily or about reducing your weight. Wherever these machines get their own is because they can make a very real difference to the nutritional values of many foods. There is no doubt that these machines are a very useful part of kitchen equipment, read on to discover why.

The two these machines lay on the worktop and can be stored away when not in use (although they do take up quite a bit of cupboard space). The primary reason most people buy one is as you can cook around a kilo of chips or roast potatoes using just one tablespoon of essential oil. Eating a low body fat diet is essential in our combat heart disease, obesity and other weight-related health problems.

 Every person loves chips, especially children who can be difficult to feed at times. Asking them if they want chips will normally lead to a 'yes' reply. When you cause them to become in an air fryer, you may have the added knowledge that you are not stuffing their bodies up with unnecessary fats. Egg, sausage, fish or ham and chips generally is a winner! Because you will get almost no food left on home plate, this will mean the money you are spending on food would not finish up in the rubbish bin!

So, how do you make chips for your Tefal Actifry or Philips Air Fryer? First, peel off (depending on your preference) and chip the taters into the desired size. You should make them of equal size, so if you have a chipper to cut them that would be ideal. Remember that the bigger they are, the longer the cooking time will be. Soak the chips for at least half an hour ahead of time to eliminate the majority of the starch. Dry them as carefully as you can, pour up to one tablespoon of oil over the chips and occurs fingers to coat the snacks evenly. While the above is the recommended way to prepare your snacks, do not get too stressed about them being exactly both equally sized, soaking them for precisely around 30 minutes or being properly dry, you will still get great snacks as long as you make some effort.

While many people say that these potato chips are just like the deep fried version, We have not found that to be quite the case. Yes, these are cosy inside and look very similar, however, they are not quite as crispy. They are however delicious and by far the best alternative to the deep toast variety. The taste is a great improvement on the cardboard tasting reduced fat oven chips we have all suffered for years!

Both the machines described here cook chips that taste the same. The sole difference is that with the Tefal Actifry, you will keep an eye on how they are doing through the clear lid, and do not need to do anything until they are cooked. With the Philips Air fryer, you set the timer and give the basket a shake halfway through the cooking time. You will also need to pull the basket out to check on them close to the end. Not a problem, but something you should keep in mind. Both machines clean easily and most parts can go in the dishwasher.

If you think the only object you can cook in these machines are snacks so they are not cost effective, then you are wrong. You can cook at plenty of recipes in them; all it takes is a little bit of adaptation. Both machines come with their own collection of recipes and there are recipe books slowly arriving onto the market. You should also keep in brain that some foods and recipes are definitely more suited to Philips or the Actifry because of how the machines are constructed. For example, you can make cakes and bread in the Philips as it doesn't use an exercise, but the Actifry is better for anything that needs stirring.
