Until you've actually road tested a gadget yourself it's difficult to tell how you'll get on isn't it? Especially when there are conflicting reviews. Do let us know how you get on if you try roast potatoes in it. Like you I use my bread maker nearly every day and think it's great. Actually I've just bought a new Andrew James (british made) one to replace the Panasonic that went kaput and the AJ one is miles better than the (expensive) Panasonic xxAlisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10007583111181817717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-55370714126631516802014-10-30T09:02:55.924+00:002014-10-30T09:02:55.924+00:00I've tried cooking home made chips in the oven...I've tried cooking home made chips in the oven but they never turn out right.

I think the cooking time depends on the amount of food you're cooking, these chips served two and took half an hour, but I've read that frozen chips take less time to cook and don't need any oil at all. There's a Facebook page for Actifry recipes and there's even actual recipe books published. I hope you give it another go and find that it can work for you afterall.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-74761426597152159682014-10-29T08:52:43.627+00:002014-10-29T08:52:43.627+00:00It's great when you buy a gadget and it works ...It's great when you buy a gadget and it works well.

I wasn't impressed with ours at all (45 minutes for chips to cook was too long for me to wait!) and the recipe book was very thin and didn't have much in it that we were likely to eat. At that time there were no recipes online - or at least I couldn't find any. I might have to have another look. I hope you continue to enjoy yours! :o)Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14828411667195281985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-53889990181237360392014-10-28T19:48:34.683+00:002014-10-28T19:48:34.683+00:00I'm always unsure whether to trust what it say...I'm always unsure whether to trust what it says in the adverts so I did a lot of review reading before I took the plunge.
