What kind of potatoes and oils are recommended for the T-FAL ACTIFRY GENIUS XL 2IN1?

Potatoes:

In general, it is advised to use potato varieties that are recommended for making chips, such as Maris Piper and King Edward. For newly harvested potatoes which have a high moisture content, cook your chips for an extra few minutes. The T-FAL ACTIFRY GENIUS XL 2IN1 can also cook frozen chips, which do not require any added oil as they are already pre-cooked.

Oils:

With the T-FAL ACTIFRY GENIUS XL 2IN1, you can use a very large variety of oils:

Standard oils: sunflower, olive, corn, rapeseed*, grapeseed, groundnut (peanut), soya*.

Flavoured oils: oils infused with herbs, garlic, peppers, lemon…

Speciality oils: hazelnut*, sesame*, safflower*, almond*, avocado*, argan* (cooking time varies according to the manufacturer).

*Note: Some of these oils are not available in the UK.


How should I store, prepare, and cut potatoes for the T-FAL ACTIFRY GENIUS XL 2IN1?

Storage:

The best places to store potatoes are in a dark cellar, or a cool cupboard (between 6 and 8°C), away from any light.

Preparation:

For best results, you must make sure that the chips do not stick together. It is recommended you wash the peeled potatoes thoroughly before cutting them and then once again when they have been cut up, until the water has turned clear. This will allow you to remove the maximum amount of starch. Carefully dry the chips using a dry and highly absorbent clean tea towel. The chips must be perfectly dry before they are put in the T-FAL ACTIFRY GENIUS XL 2IN1.

Cutting:

The chip’s crispiness and fluffiness depends on its size. The more thinly cut your chips are, the crispier they will be and vice-versa, the thicker they are the fluffier they will be on the inside. Depending on your preference, you can vary the size of your chips and change the cooking time accordingly:

Thickness: Thin American style: 8 x 8 mm / Standard: 10 x 10 mm / Thick: 13 x 13 mm Length up to 9 cm.

The maximum recommended chip thickness is 13 x 13 mm and a length of up to 9 cm.

• Do not add salt to chips while the chips are in the cooking pan. Only add salt once the chips are removed from the cooking pan.

• When adding dried herbs and spices to ActiFry, mix them with some oil or liquid. If you try sprinkling them directly into the pan they will just get blown around by the hot air system.

• Strong coloured spices may slightly stain the paddle and parts of the appliance. This is normal.

• Prepare all food in evenly sized pieces to ensure that they all cook at the same time.

• Prepare vegetables, especially root vegetables, in small pieces or stir fry size to ensure they cook through.

• If using onions in ActiFry recipes they are best thinly sliced rather than chopped as they cook better. Separate the onion rings before adding them to the cooking pan and give them a quick stir so that they are evenly distributed.

For the automatic cooking mode only:

• For selected cooking modes, ingredients should be placed in the cooking pan as stated in the ActiFry Genius recipe book. This ensures the right level of cooking for each ingredient. Those which require a longer cooking time are put in the top half of the pan. Those requiring a shorter cooking time are put next to the handle.
