tiz not a deep fat fryer. it's the healthier option of cooking food with hot air
you chuck oven chips and such like straight in without adding any oil or fresh chips (par boiled) with a spoonful of oil. so far McCain home fries are the best. out the freezer in the Actifry and 10-13 mins later perfect chips. ok so not as good as deep fat fried ones but edible and i actually prefer them.
