Can you use fry light with the actifry? They have an offer on for 132.99 at www.homeandcook.co.uk for the black one and you get a free cook book and tefal pan. Do these taste a lot nicer than SW chips in the oven? I'm considering buying one x

You can use frylight and most people do, however it just does not work as well. I usually do 1 tbs extra virgin between 4 people so its actually a quarter of a HExB. It just means chips are great as they have some decent to fry in. Oh and roasties are fabulous in it too.
If you have one use Maris Piper as less wet and make sure you rinse at least three times and dry with a clean teatowel befor you put in.
I promise you fab chips and roasties!! x There is a review on my blog for the Actifry and making an all in one pot zesty spicy chicken dish in it tonight.

4 weetabix
2 eggs
30g of raisins (not sure of syns for these I used sultanas as thats what I had in and they are 4 syns for 28g according to my book which is the old one)
2 bananas
mixed spice/cinnamon (I just put a sprinkling of mixed spice in)
Mix all together and cook for around 30 mins in loaf tin
(I am going to have over 2 days and use as hex's re the weetabix. Cooked banana's should be synned but I am going to risk it as will only be having 1 a day in the cake)
