T-fal Actifry Review

T-FAL ACTIFRY REVIEW

We all want to be and eat healthier but it can be a very hard task to do. I came across the T-fal Actifry which in a non-traditional fryer that claims to cook 1kg of French fries with only ONE SPOON of OIL!
Tefal Actifry

At first, I didn't know how this machine would work and didn't believe that I would get the same great tasting fried French fries as in a traditional deep fryer but only healthier!


The Nutritious & Delicious™ ActiFry® from T-fal is a revolutionary kitchen appliance that is developed to change the way you cook and eat. This appliance makes it possible to create delicious and healthier versions of everyday meals and it is very easy to use and doesn't create a mess like traditional fryers.




The product comes with a recipe book that includes 38 healthy and appetizing recipes, all of which feature specific nutritional information.
You can also find many more online:
 http://www.nutritiousanddelicious.com.

All you have to do is add the ingredients into the pan, close the lid, set the countdown timer and turn the product on. The dishes mad by the Actifry are healthier due to little or no required oil.

We own a traditional deep fryer and love cooking sweet potatoe fries in it from time to time. I was so excited to be able to try out the Actifry because we got the same great results but only  A LOT healthier! The fries turned out very crispy and had the same great taste as always. The best part is that frozen fries require NO OIL in this machine. It made my family and I feel better about eating this delicious treat!

We did try cooking jalapeƱo poppers in the Actifry. The poppers turned out crispy and yummy but the machine did tear them apart some and made a mess of the food. It still tasted great but I defiantly wouldn't want to serve them to guests.

I also made frozen hash browns in the Actifry. I absolutely love hash browns but I hate cooking them on the stove. It was a breeze with this machine. I poured them in with a tiny bit of oil, pushed start, set the timer and went on to cook my eggs and bacon! They turned out perfect and it was hassle free.

The only down fall about this machine is that some of the foods (like previously mentioned) did fall apart in the machine due to the rotating bar that circulates the food.  Also, the cook time of the foods are generally increased. This machine is quite costly compared to other fryers but I do believe that nobody can put a price on health. If you are going to choose to eat fried foods, let this machine do the cooking for you!

It’s so easy to use – you just put the ingredients in the removable pan,  pour oil over it (if the recipe calls for it), shut the lid, set the timer and you are free to other tasks while waiting for the timer to ding!

The pan, lid, paddle and spoon are all dishwasher safe which makes clean up very easy! I feel that the worst part about cooking is the clean up afterwards, so this is a huge plus in my book!

The T-fal Actifry sells in many local stores or can be purchased online on Amazon.

Price of Product: $249.99 list price


Thank You to Tefal and the PR group at SLICE for sending me the T-fal Actifry to test and review.

The products in this review were provided to me free of cost for the purpose of conducting this review.

The Juppy: Baby Walker REVIEW & GIVEAWAY!

The Juppy Baby Walker.is a portable walker that is small enough to fit in your diaper bag or purse. Not only that but it is a non-traditional, parent-assisted baby walker used to safely teach babies how to walk sooner while eliminating dangerous falls.

I was sent The Juppy Baby Walker for review. The first time we used it there was a bit of confusion. Baby wanted to stant in one place and JUMP! He quickly figured out that he could move and walk around but it did take some getting used to. It was fun and easy to use and really did take the strain off of my back. The Juppy Baby Walker features adjustable straps to fit any height and has a zipper in the back to make it easy to get baby in and out! One thing I really loved it that babys arms were free to move around still which helps with learning balance. Most walkers work by having the child in a  sitting position and that’s not really the best way to teach your child how to walk.



 You can purchase them at their website for $29.95 and it comes in Pink, Blue, and Black.

The Juppy Baby Walker is giving ONE LUCKY READER a JUPPY in their choice of COLOR!

Tommee Tippee Bottle REVIEW & GIVEAWAY

  • Wide neck nipple for easier latch on

  • Super-sensitive anti-colic vent tube provides optimum venting during feeding to help reduce colic and discomfort
  • Heat sensing tube shows when milk is a safe temperature: Blue = safe to feed Pink = milk warmer than recommended
  • Bottles are accompanied by slow flow non-vented nipples designed just for this bottle to prevent air and vacuum build up

In 2006 Tommee Tippee revolutionized the infant feeding market with the launch of the Closer to Nature line of baby bottles and accessories. The Closer to Nature bottle design offers a uniquely soft, super-wide nipple that naturally flexes and stretches like the breast. The bottle is designed with an ultra-sensitive anti-colic valve that lets babies feed at their own pace with less air, vacuum build-up, and nipple collapse. Nipples are progressively staged in slow, medium, fast and vari-flow rates to meet growing babies’ needs.

My thoughts: 
 I'd recommend both the orignal and sensitive tummy

Tommee Tippee bottles!

I'd prefer the sensitive tummy bottles over the original Tommee Tippee bottles for a few reasons. I felt as if they did help a lot with fussiness after feedings and I love the temperature feature. If the milk is too hot, the inside strip turns pink (it is normally black!). I thought that the Sensitive Tummy bottles would be more of a hassle to clean but they really weren't any more work than the original bottles. Each bottle set comes with a nice little brush cleaner that allows for easier cleaning!

These bottles fit comfortably in the hand because of their neat design and are also easy for baby to hold on to as well. The nipples a perfect for those moms who are choosing to breast and bottle feed because of the easy transition between the two nipples. The Tommee Tippee nipples are very soft and have a wide base. The only dislike about the bottles is that from time to time the nipple would invert because of its soft base. This is an easy fix and it only happens occasionally so I didn't find that it was any big deal. I had no trouble with these bottles leaking and no trouble getting baby to feed using these bottles. All of their bottles are BPA FREE!
(sensitive tummy anti colic insert heat gage strip)

Tommee Tippee bottles and other products currently can only be purchased online or from Toys R Us stores. This is okay for me since I am located fairly close to a Toys R Us store but it would be nice if they sold them at other retailers such as Target or Walmart.

Exclusively available at Babies R Us

Purchase your own Bottles from Toys R Us!

You can pick up a 3 pack of bottles for $19.99 (in 9oz or 5oz)
or a 2 pack of the sensitive tummy bottles for $19.99

One feature that I absolutley love about the Tommee Tippee website is their new application, The Day Baby was Born.

"So many incredible memories. One simple way to save them."

Welcoming a child into the world is an amazing journey, and so much happens so quickly it can be hard to remember every detail. This site is a simple way to capture and cherish your memories. Start as soon as you know you're pregnant and catch every detail of the journey. (source: Tommee Tippee)

You can create an account through your facebook account and then you add your due date, Ultra sound photos and each and every little detail you wish to include during your journey of pregnancy. I love this because it keeps track of every little detail for you and then you are able to share it on facebook if you choose. You can also download it and print it out to share with others this way. The best part about it, is that it is TOTALLY FREE!
