Tefal (or is it T-fal) have a great fryer which uses about a tablespoon of oil to fry french fries, chicken and much more. I have tried it in the UK last month and it is really impressive. Now I am looking for one in Canada
I have seen it online for US$299 (I saw a free shipping coupon somewhere as well, not sure where I found it)
http://www.foodnetworkstore.com/ProductDetail.aspx?R=255036&ccaid=FNFROOG255036
But I am looking in Canada to find it. Only seen it in one location (downtown Vancouver) of The Bay and it was about $360 Canadian
I think some Home Outfitters have them (maybe Montreal) but not GVR.
If anyone sees this actifry please let me know the price.
I know it's expensive but having tried it I am willing to invest in it. I just wish I could find a good deal on it. Does The Bay ever have discount days on kitchen appliances?

Or you can pay a lot more at Costco (http://www.costco.ca/Browse/Product.aspx?Prodid=10329764&whse=BCCA&Ne=5000001+4000000&eCat=BCCA|103|90|749&N=4009486%204294967044&Mo=1&No=0&Nr=P_CatalogName:BCCA&Ns=P_Price|1||P_SignDesc1&lang=en-CA&Sp=C&hierPath=103*90*749*&topnav=) :(
Added: What you save on eBay will buy you a year's membership at Costco :lol:

Yep. In the UK, where it was originally released, it's Tefal. Looks like it may be T-fal here and US.

Thanks. I never checked ebay. I only checked the official Tefal (UK) and T-fal (USA/Canada) and only found them in The Bay here on the West Coast. Not a bad price on ebay

It's fantastic. I tried one I purchased as a gift for a friend in UK. The fries are really crisp on the outside and fluffy inside. They take a while to cook (maybe 35 mins or so depending on load) and only make small batches, maybe for two people. I only tried the fries cooked in this machine, not tried chicken or other foods, but they were great. My kids loved them. They tasted less fatty than deep fat fries.
The actifry is expensive but having tried the fries I am willing to pay as I would use it regularly as the food tasted good and it's healthier as it really does use less fat.

If you're willing to wait, maybe Caynes Housewares will have carry it soon... They do carry some T-Fal products, and their prices are pretty good -- http://www.cayneshousewares.com/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=71
Personally, I wouldn't buy one from eBay. They may be UK models and the warranty may not be valid here. Plus if you buy from an authorized dealer with a decent credit card, it'll add another year to the warranty.
