Silly con chipped or not?

We bought one of those tefal actifryers the ones that only use a spoonful of
oil to do a big bowl of chips (french fries to the merkans)

I was very sceptical me being of the Nigel Slater school of chips but it
actually did a pretty mean job of making chips which were (while not as
wonderful as Nigel's) crispy on the outside and fluffy in the middle.

I tried out various veggies with garlic and herbs in a mix of sesame oil and
olive oil and they were delicious.

It was expensive at circa £130 but I am sure it can be got cheaper elsewhere
but I have to admit it did a better job that the deep fat fryers I have had
in the past including a mega expensive rotary one. I hate deep fat fryers
as no matter how careful you are they still get gunked up and I think oven
chips are vile. So this was a good compromise.

We haven't had home made chips for about 3 years and I think we will get use
out of this gadget not just for chips but for lots of other stuff and
because it tosses and turns the stuff I can leave it on and go and do other
stuff without worrying it will be stuck to the ar5e of the pan.

Can it do deep fried chicken on a spoonful of oil?

I'm intrigued.

A pressure cooker??!!

Wouldn't it either a) pressurise everything with steam and make it soggy
or b) blow you and your family sky-high?

there is no water and the instructions tell you to dry the potatoes - I
didn't believe it would make "proper" chips but it did a good job - better
than oven chips which are not great.

i don't own nor have i ever used a pressure cooker, so i can not verify
this. i'm just reporting what i have hears. then again i have heard many
things over the years that are not true. ;o)
