I’m considering buying a Tefal Actifry and it got me thinking, how exactly does so little oil manage to fry so much with essentially the same results as a deep fryer?

I want to buy some things for my kitchen.
Here are my choices:
Bread Machine,
Steam cooker,
More Tefal cookware,
A food processor.
I have a deep fryer, counter top grill (useless gift)
Mixer/ hand mixer, coffee maker, and state of the art appliances (fridge/stove) and all the basics.
I DO NOT have a microwave which I did last year, but I don’t use it either.
What do you think I should buy next, why, and the pros and cons.
I really want the steamer, but I don’t know what I would put in it besides vegetables (any ideas?).
I rarely cook meat, only for my fiance.

I want a kitchen aid, but it is kind of expensive here (I moved to Europe last year), so I was going to put that on my bridal registry. Is the kitchen aid better than this Kenwood? http://www1.kenwoodworld.com/product_detail.php?cat=288&id=732
It has attachments for juicing, shredding, food processing, dicing, ice cream making and more.
I cannot pick best answer b/c they are all very helpful!!!

What would you prefer to use if your trying to save up on your bills?

Are they worth it?

I do not like the idea of actual deep fat fryers due to risk of fire and of course there are the health issues caused by deep frying.

But the thing is do they cook normal tasting fries, battered foods etc. compared to regular frying?

Opinions please to help me decide thanks.

I electrical cord for my Model #54654, 120 volt, 1800 watts cord has been misplaced. I need to find another one.

I cannot submerse it in water, so a deep soaking is out of question. Is there a good degreaser I can use?…one that is friendly to the fryer and all that will be cooked in it afterward?

Here is my fryer…

I have lost the paper work that came with the unit

Most of the websites just boast about the less oil needed for frying chips in Actifry. So can it deep fry as well like other deep fryers or is it just good for chips?
