Seems as if we have been deserted. Is everyone giving up being a low carber. Need some recipe inspiration as has been a bad few weeks and am not sticking to what I should be eating,

Lol, we haven't left as such, just realised our chat was putting people off so we're chatting elsewhere now.

Isn't that the gadget that was famed for catching fire? Was on Watchdog I think? The company refuted claims it was unsafe despite any people saying they all had the same identical fault.

Edit: http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/watchdog/2008/11/chip_pans_up_in_smoke.html

There was a website for peeps who had been affected but I can't find it now, Tefal had basically washed it's hands.

It was a while ago now though so maybe it's been sorted out during the redesign Eric mentioned?

I bought my Actifry in December 2009 - it worked great and made great low fat chips - until last night. Set it up, switched it on, the paddle started turning but no fan. I opened the lid and three flames shot out of the heating element which was white hot then it all just died.

Dread to think about what would have happened if i never realised the fan wasn't onand left it to burn away.

Great machine, but if this happens after 6 months, is it safe?

Apparently so if you read the company blurb.
The flames will just die out as its flame resistant plastic.
It has happened to so many though that although i want one, i wouldnt buy one!

Yip me too. But maybe that's just because we're buying into the scaremongering *insert roll eyes smilie*

It's a good breakfast isn't it? My regular breakfast for many months when I was low carbing.
