Summer is on its way which means it’s time to get back into shape – and what better place to start than with a healthy diet? To help you on this mission and because nutrition is about more than just healthy ingredients, Tefal Electrical is launching its latest innovation, the Tefal ActiFry range into South African stores in August 2012.

Love the chips but hate the oil? The Tefal ActiFry uses a mere spoonful of oil for every kilogram of crispy chips that it fries. The good news is that when accompanied by a balanced plate of protein and vegetables, you will find that ActiFry chips can form part of a healthy diet suitable for both adults and children to enjoy.

The appliance achieves remarkable results, thanks to an innovative, patented design and technology. Features include, a removable ceramic-coated and non-stick pan, a transparent steam-free lid, pulsating heat technology and an automatic stirring paddle which ensures even distribution of oil in each meal prepared.

The new Actifry is as versatile as it is innovative, with its revolutionary technology, which allows you to cook meat , fish, vegetables, chicken nuggets, dippers and lots more using just a small measure of cooking oil and yet get that beautiful crisp deep fried taste. You can now look forward to creating delicious meals that give you all the flavour of fried food without the grease. A balanced intake of fatty acids will help your body to function optimally. In line with this, the ActiFry allows for the use of a variety of different oils, including sunflower, olive, grapeseed and corn.

Forming part of Tefal’s Nutritious & Delicious range of products, the thinking behind ActiFry’s design is that meals should not only be healthy and delicious, but they also need to be convenient and simple – fitting easily into our daily lives. Tefal’s range introduces a range of kitchenware that allows you to have it all: healthy, great tasting food that is both practical and easy to make.
