Question: Is it teflon inside, or stainless steel?
Document: I didn't want to leave your side during the half-hour cooking time, because I was worried the paddle might get stuck ... and WHY aren't you able to turn yourself off at the end of the timer period? ?I'm going to crawl back to myHamilton Beach 8 Quart Oval Slow Cookerand myMagefesa Practika Plus Stainless Steel 6.3-Quart Super Fast Pressure Cookerand see if they will take me back.
The pan is coated in Teflon (or some variant), and I know the dishwasher can be pretty tough on Teflon coatings. My guess is, washing by hand is a safer bet. The pan cleans VERY easily, but the middle blade does not. It has all sorts of nooks and crannies, so you will be best served by having a toddler-size toothbrush to really be able to get it clean (I happened to have one, so I know it works pretty well).
I dont recall the middle part being hollow. Its hard to clean the inside especially when you cook chicken with it. You have to remove the rubber seal in order to really clean the middle part. I dont recall this part being hollow. Im not sure if the one I bought was an imitation or not.
And there is a - not so useful - timer which will alert when the cooking is done. The oil is only used to make the outside crisp, and the actual cooking is done by heated air, at least this is my deduction. And the coating of the pan is non-stick (it's a T-Fal), so there is little to no mess.I was able to cook different kinds of meals, from french fries, to apple desserts inside.
It was very disappointing that the fries took so long. I dished out the fries, which two of my three children gobbled up immediately. They were fairly crispy on the outside, yet tender on the inside, but my children said they definitely tasted a little different. "Not bad, just different." My wife and I soon realized that there was no way we could use this appliance to prepare food for our family of 5.
I have spent sometime looking online where a lot of owners post their own recipes. Saying this you could use Tefal's recipe book and pick their curry recipe and use the cook times but alter it to other casserole type meals e.g. sweet and sour chicken. The rotating blade which sits inside the pan ensures that whatever you are making is evenly cooked and browned.
I've been using the ActiFry two or three times a week for the past two months, and I can safely say that it's my favorite appliance. Do my potatoes actually taste deep fat fried? Of course not! But they're better than what I can make in my oven, that's for sure. Frozen fries and potatoes I cut and season myself turn out crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and absolutely delicious.
I love this machine! This is a healthy alternative to preparing traditionally deep fried foods. I use it all of the time for veggies.Puts a little crunch on the outside and keeps them tender and juicy on the inside. I love that I can make french fries againbut with the Actifry, substantially reduce the fat. Cooking in a tablespoon of olive oil will do the trick for almost anything youdecide to prepare.
I can honestly say that had I purchased this, I would be returning it immediately for a refund - then again, I never would have spent so much money on a device that seems designed mainly for cooking french fries. **UPDATE: 5/3/12**  I made some fries in the machine, though not the homemade version. We were less than impressed. By the time they got to where they needed to be on the outside, they seemed overcooked and slightly tough on the inside.
I wasn't sure how this multi-cooker could make french fries with only one tablespoon of oil. I was happily surprised the french fries came out great. They were crispy on the outside and very tender on the inside. I have tried to make french fries in the oven with sprinkling them with a little bit of oil. These were by far much better and much better than I thought possible. I even tried sweet potatoes and they were just as great.
Answer: it's teflon
