I bought this “fryer” last year without care to go and see it in shops but, for once, trusting view solely of advertising in a newspaper.
I ordered a few days found within on the kitchen counter.
The package encourages
Contained in a rectangular cardboard box, the fryer is not at all heavy and can be transported easily even by those who like myself is a bit ‘weaklings; external images are captivating and stimulate the desire to experiment with this novelty that promises to get chips and crisps with one tablespoon of oil.
Actually, the surprise is even greater and more positive that because the tablespoon of oil and this will not always make the chips more digestible and light, the images shown on the box tempt everyone who loves good food but for various reasons must limiting fat … but everything will be right? Nothing will ever be prohibited?
Chips, vegetables, meat, fruit, fish, everything seems to be prepared in this modern deviltry.
A small inaccuracy but you carry the reading immediately because the packaging would seem that the walls of the fryer to remain cool while cooking but this is only half true because the top actually gets very hot.
Tefal FZ 7000 Actifry deep fryer
Rounded form and rounded looks like a spaceship of rides, nice shape makes it suitable to be hosted on an open kitchen, the front, one in which you cook the potatoes on the bottom is round and stretching a “tail” always rounded up, but that houses the joint between the lid and the base over the controls and timer.
The base is white plastic housing and centrally than when you insert the foldable handle of the basket, has two white keys needed to open the lid, just above a strip of gray / silver reminds us how we can enjoy good food ( chips) and adhere health.
Above is the transparent cover which is contained within the drum stick comes with a black foldable handle that is inserted the key that allows the “hub”.
At the center of the basket is the accommodation for the mixer that indicates the maximum filling level (and for once not the quantity of oil but food) on top of a cylinder on which rest the measuring spoon Plastic green transparent necessary for determining the oil.
The filter becomes clearly visible by removing the basket and is presented as a sort of “retinal” fortunately iron dishwasher safe, the back is characterized by the display that indicates the passage of time doing the countdown and 2 buttons, one to set and a timer to turn on and off the fryer (on / off).
Do not forget the power cable …. the fryer is not to the battery!
Tefal FZ 7000 Actifry – OPERATION IN PRACTICE
Use of this fryer is very simple to open the lid to press a white button on the front then introduce the ingredients with addition of water, oil or other ingredients.
If you want to cook frozen fries cooked simply place the desired quantity and remove the spoon, then close the lid, set the timer and start cooking. This does not need to add any seasoning which instead becomes necessary when they were asked to cook fresh potatoes or other vegetables like zucchini in the case of where it is necessary to add water or in other cases (eg with fruit ) sugar.
Included the ingredients you will select the cooking time and press the power button;

At this point the blade begins to turn allowing even cooking and after a sound emitted from the fryer warn cooked.
To remove food will be sufficient to reopen the lid then placed horizontally on the handle of the basket, I recommend you wait for the gray button on the handle the same shots, producing a sound “Click” because otherwise you risk that closes his hands dropping everything is in the basket.
Tefal FZ 7000 Actifry – CLEANING
Once cooled, all parts of the fryer can be safely washed in the dishwasher and this is great news for people like me who is lazy and does not like washing dishes by hand.
Those who prefer to be whether it can safely be cleaned using a sponge and a non-abrasive dishwashing detergent that is not aggressive and I hate the signs of water droplets on your dishes so those times when it shall work hand dry immediately. .. on the fryer basket that is black would be rewarded immediately and give me your trouble.
Remove the individual pieces is very simple and the cover is removed by pushing up a lever on which is engraved an arrow and sliding forward, the blade is removed by pushing up the two gray fins placed on her and pulling then upward, as mentioned above the basket is removed through the neck (lifting), but the filter is removed simply by gripping the tab on the top and pulling out (not up).
Replace everything after the cleaning is so easy, everything will simply be stuck again, the only thing that changes is that to lower the handle of the basket you must slide the button otherwise not lower.
Tefal FZ 7000 Actifry – What can you cook in this fryer?
Almost everything!
It ’s a versatile appliance you can cook different foods is part of the sauces and then move on to vegetables (potatoes, zucchini, onions, tomatoes, mushrooms, peppers), fruits (bananas, cherries, bananas, apples, pears, strawberries , pineapple), meatballs, chicken thighs, rolls, shrimp and frozen dishes such as bacon, paella, rice Cantonese …
The fryer may not be prepared soups or other dishes “liquid” while all the other dishes you can add oil or sugar water.
For example, in preparing a number of rolls between 4:08 just add a tablespoon of oil and cook for 10-12 minutes to prepare sliced bananas (about 500g) you should add a tablespoon of oil and a tablespoon of brown sugar and cook for 4 / 6 minutes.
Inside the box is also a bilingual cookbook, greek and Italian, in which they explained some of the recipes are easy to operate, some examples are: potatoes with almonds, pepper sauce, pineapple chicken, rabbit with lemon and thyme , cuttlefish Roman, small fried fish tartar sauce, pineapple and figs, acacia honey …
Are given for each recipe ingredients, preparation, the nutrients and nutritional intake.
Tefal FZ 7000 Actifry – Choose it
I chose this as the beginning anticipatovi fryer without even letting me see it but simply to attract advertising, I love this appliance and potatoes (which do not actually fried in the classic sense) seemed appropriate to me that I was trying to lose a few pounds remaining by pregnancy, but some do not want to give up a whim.
I’d die without pizza and chips to pizza so established that I would not quit I thought brilliantly solve the “problem” of chips in this way … and we have succeeded!
The amount of oil used is very small, the spoon can not overdo the seasoning that, among other things should not even be used if you want to cook frozen chips.
One tablespoon of oil just for a kilo of potatoes, however, depending on the taste of the other staff members may be added later, once paid the potatoes in the fryer, add any spices, stirring paddle will distribute the oil and browned potatoes evenly, so there will need to manually intervene with spoons or other tools because the fryer does everything by itself.
According to calculations by the manufacturer, using only one tablespoon of oil for a kilo of potatoes will reduce dramatically the proportion of fat to 3% and we can enjoy a product lighter and more digestible.
I made different tests and different foods cooked following the directions of the recipe and I must say that if as regards the chips (especially frozen), the expectations were not disappointed at all, as regards other foods have not been very enthusiastic.
But having bought the appliance for the chips I’m not complaining but would not hurt to use it consistently for other dishes, are not bad but you can not compare it to the kitchen “traditional” short, if you adapt and you do not have expectations exaggerated you can try the interesting experiments.
I have found it very useful to prepare zucchini and potatoes are prepared similar to those in the oven (not stick so to speak) when my back was locked and struggling to stand, walk and bend I have tried the experiment in this case my intervention is minimal, especially since the hubby has helped me cut the vegetables through the fryer and he did everything herself, mixing and avoiding foods that are “attacked” them cooked evenly.
The result was quite good as regards potatoes not frozen although, as mentioned earlier not very similar to those cooked in the oven while the zucchini as regards the result was just decent, but not rejected even promoted honors.
After the first experiment I tried other times convinced that I should just figure out how long it should cook in the fryer and pour well water but the result has not changed in a clear, courgettes are always found to be too “crunchy” for my taste ; than the time indicated on the instruction booklet I had to also add minutes because of food tended to be a bit ‘too raw and this even though I had followed the directions so scrupulous.
About the amount to be introduced in the basket, h must not exceed the pound, but despite this, even if you enter a smaller amount, the movement of the blade tends to move in a compact food and why in some cases overlap and some pieces such as a potato can “get stuck” between the basket and the lid so they stop shooting and cook badly.
In this case the only thing to do is open the lid being careful because the company could prove painful. Despite claims that the walls of the fryer is kept cold, I must refute and support as it tend to become very hot, the clear plastic cover even searing and why you need to press the button opening and accompany the opening of the lid holding the “tab” located on the transparent cover. This is the only way not to burn but also the ideal way to keep the lid open at the speed of light crashing back, nothing happens, not spotlight the fryer but it is not the best, sooner or later taking those shots could also break.
Despite these small flaws that need some attention, a positive opening as the fryer is in operation there by opening the lid stops everything and so can operate safely.
The instructions say that the food over the edge if you do not meet the specified quantity (there is a level indicator on the central body), but almost always happens to me and most times not prepare a pound of potatoes for 4 people!
Other attempts at cooking frozen foods I’ve done with the croquettes and the Roman rings but in both cases the experiments have proved rather unsuccessful in the case of rings to the Roman blades have literally raised the entire batter leaving the ring completely ” naked. ”
The result was a dish of crispy batter rings and a plate but separated … other than the original but hoped (if you really want to be generous), the second attempt was made with potato croquettes but did not go well because this time the breading was detached from the blade, but the potatoes were not cooked properly, the taste was not even particularly good. Perhaps it was suitable for a deep fryer or oil in a frying pan but I have not tried the experiment with any kind of kibble.
At this point you’re wondering if this fryer is worth to be bought because it does not offer special advantages, especially when you consider that now you can cook the potatoes in the oven without the addition of seasoning.
My answer is: yes!
The first attempts were not exciting but now I can determining the oil well when prepared fresh and the cooking time when using frozen ones I could not go back to traditional baking, fresh ones are not frozen but the level of those better than cooked in liters of oil while others are very good, dry, soft inside and crispy outside.
The first few times I used to cook too little or too much and singe the tips but now always using the same I learned to cook for 29 minutes plus one which is what takes me to get on and off the fryer, fresh potatoes but about 40 minutes but cut by hand because they are not very uniform, particularly as often variable (I can not precisely calculate the size of the potato well and the whole result once cut) I have to check more often but I get good results.
This fryer is quite large, you must have a considerable space for storage and I use that often keep on the work otherwise I would not know where to fit it, I would steal too much space, the last two flaws that I would like you to notice is that The BIP is really too weak and given the noise it emits (and is not indifferent, if you have the TV in the kitchen and the fryer is in action you may need to keep the volume quite high), you may not even feel it and the second defect is given if the timer is a mistake to set it to slide up to 99 minutes to reset it. According to the instructions in case of error should be sufficient to press 2 seconds to reset it but in my case it does not, in fact goes to 2 minutes!
Beyond that, however you can easily control the transparent cover and cook healthy definitely the smell of fried food because it is emitted and then there’s no need to continue to turn them when you put it in the oven does all the blade so once operated the deep fryer you can go to another and forget about it until BIP (always feel it).
In conclusion, if you love french fries (and are also on a diet), when the idea of using frozen ones you do not mind but baking does not satisfy you fully, then I recommend this fryer, I adore and I can not do without it when my mom cooks the frozen French fries in the oven in question clearly feel the difference, for all other uses unless it does so willingly because of the cost, estimated well.
