Season 2 chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Bake the chicken breasts around golden brown and cooked in hot butter. Remove the chicken breasts from the pan. Stir in 50 ml Madeira.

Serve it with 250 grams sugarsnaps, stir fried 5 minutes in butter and thyme. Also we had potato slices whick we baked for about 30 minutes and without any oil in the Actifry.

Yesterday we recieved a Tefal Actifry for testing. That was actually directly tested, but unfortunately we already had something else for dinner. So at the very last day off Britt’s holiday we had fries during lunch. Personally, we have no deep fryer and bake our chips and snacks in the oven. What we tested: 1. how to use the device?, 2. how does the preparation towards the oven? and 3. the tasting. Easy to use the device, installing for the first use requires little effort. The preparation of the chips are rally easy. It is just putting the fresh french fries in the pan, add 3/4 spoon oil, close lid, and put the actifry on. Possibly you can also use the timer function, but you could just use a traditional cithen timer. The preparation compared to the oven: in Actifry you can put directly the chips in the pan. By preparation in the oven, you always have to wait until the oven is properly warmed up and this can take a while. The tasting? A lot less fat than the chips from the take-away. Crispy and delicious in taste. Ovenfrites can sometimes be a bit weak because it lays in a bit of fat. What this test is concerned, the Actifry made a positive impression!
