 West Orange, New Jersey, December 2011— Have you ever wondered how many calories are in your Chinese take-out dish, or how much fat a small order of McDonald’s French fries contains? The fat, calorie and sodium content of many common foods will surprise you, and make you think twice before super-sizing your fries or getting greasy take-out for the third time in a week. www.tfalactifry.com
Here’s a way out: From French fries to stir fry and everything in between, the ActiFry from T-fal might be what you need to transform the most common and unhealthy dishes into nutritious and delicious meals. So put away the takeout menu, save some money on restaurant meals and prepare these favorites in the comfort of your own home. The ActiFry is a new low fat multi-cooker that, the owners say, will revolutionize cooking as it creates healthier versions of the foods we love. Its hot air circulation technology and stirring paddle allow you to make delicious low fat meals for your family, from meats, chicken to seafood and even French fries. Dishes are healthier due to little or no required oil. Not only can it make ALL of your favorite foods in this one machine, but you really do cut almost 75% of the fat. And because everything is always cooking at 338°, no preheating is necessary and your meals cook quickly, with meat dishes typically take about 15 – 20 minutes, veggies 12, fries between 30 – 40 minutes and homemade granola in just 7 minutes. Here are some other examples: Stir-Fry: A single serving (1 cup) of stir-fry, with vegetables and meat, from your favorite Thai restaurant can slap on up to 500 calories. Swap out the meat for shrimp, and prepare in the ActiFry to shave off 300 plus of those rascals. With endless variations, nothing will ever get boring! French Fries: It’s no secret that McDonald’s can be a treat, but at 300 calories for a small serving, their fries are an avoidable and replaceable splurge. Classic French Fries prepared in the ActiFry are half the calories, and 1/3 of the total fat. Sesame Beef & Broccoli: This Chinese staple can have an excessive 660 calories per serving, and is loaded with fat and sodium. Using the ActiFry will save 400 calories and 20 grams of fat – plus it’s faster to prepare than it takes to wait for delivery. For more information, visit www.tfalactifry.com.
