Weighing, measuring, chopping and cooking. Competitors keep busy so we are always looking for ways that we can improve efficiency in the kitchen.
I give you…the Acti-fry
Bakes my sweet potatoes with zero preheating oven time. I can stir fry my chicken and veggies together with barely any oil (or none). What else can it do? I don’t know yet! But so far, I am enjoying throwing my food and spices in and walking away to do the laundry or kick my feet up while my “chef” finishes preparing my meal.
I love to cook though…so it definitely takes all the fun out of a wonderful gourmet experience, but it is great for those quickie meals or packing up meals 3, 4, and 5. Meal 6 can be my magical time of creating flavor explosions.
Have you tried this? Let me know what you think!

Never heard of this before. Sounds awesome. Like a space-age frying pan. Anything that makes food prep easy and healthy is a win. Would be great to hear more updates on it as you use it more.

I’ll keep you posted! Hoping it will simplify some of the day to day prep process.

Wow I have never heard of this either, how much was it? Wonder if it beats out the slap chop!

I’ve seen them on Amazon between $250-$400. It’s pricey, so I am trying to determine if it’s worth it. Will be experimenting a lot for the next week to see what it can do.
The Slap Chop is amazing! I should break mine out again. I usually chop by hand, but I don’t chop near as much as you and Donloree!

That looks pretty neat. I have the Slap Chop that I just got before Christmas so I haven’t used it much. I actually forgot I had it until I read your comments. I noticed you are doing the post a day challenge. So am I. Good luck!Thanks for visiting my blog. Don’t see many other wordpress.com users. It’s nice to see.

Yeah the slap chop is the nuts! Especially if you have one that is easy to clean.
Best wishes with the wordpress challenge!
