Slimming Eats have teamed up with Tefal Actifry for their 360° Challenge and to participate I was sent an amazing package including the new Actifry Genius, chopping board and snazzy new apron and was asked to cook a main course and dessert from the Tefal ActiFry app, using the 360° menu board.

To promote 360˚ Cooking, Tefal is hosting a big event at Exmouth beachfront. The event involves treating the public to a free dinner (and dessert) courtesy of the ActiFry. The twist? They will be serving it to them sky high on the world’s first Ferris wheel restaurant. 

What is different about the new Tefal Actifry Genius?

It's no secret that I've long been a fan of the Actifry, originally starting with the first version and then later upgrading to a newer Family model (Check out my other Actifry Recipes.)

I cook a lot of things using my Tefal Actifry, such as chips, roast potatoes, sausages, breakfast hash etc - (Check out my other Actifry Recipes.)

So when Tefal asked if I would participate in this challenge and try out the new Genius model, naturally I was delighted to accept.

What's different about the Genius?  Previous Actifry models really only had a simple timer mode.  Now Tefal has taken this to the next level by adding modes to the Genius.  There are 9 modes each designed for a specific food type and also a manual mode.

The modes available are:-

1. Chips (fries)
2. Breaded snacks
3. Battered snacks
4. Rolls
5. Meat & Vegetable balls
6. Chicken
7. Wok
8. World cuisine
9. Desserts

Each mode is tailored for the type of food that is cooking and the Actifry adjusts the temperature, stirring and time accordingly.

On previous Actifry models, the paddle would turn all the time (unless you removed it), now with the Genius, the paddle turns according to the food that's cooking and on some modes doesn't turn at all! This is great for foods that have a coating as the Actifry applies the heat to set the coating before starting to stir - genius indeed!

The Genius is available in a standard edition which holds 1.2 Kgs and for larger families an XL edition that holds 1.7 Kgs.

If you've been looking for an excuse to upgrade your ageing Actifry, that excuse has just arrived in the Genius model!

As part of my involvement in the challenge, the two courses I was asked to cook in the new Tefal Actifry Genius were Spiced Thai Chicken Curry and Roast Pineapple and Mango and I couldn't wait to get started.

Tefal Actifry Genius - Spiced Thai Chicken Curry

The Spiced Thai Chicken Curry was my first course, using tender chicken pieces, the lovely fragrance of Thai Spices, red and yellow peppers, courgette (zucchini) along with delicious creamy coconut milk.

Along with the handy Tefal ActiFry app which is downloadable on iOS and Android devices, you just select your recipe and you can follow it step by step from chopping the vegetables to adding to the actifry with the final result being this delicious and flavoursome dish.

The finished dish in the Tefal Actifry - yummy!!

I was really impressed with this recipe, the chicken pieces were super tender and the vegetables not overcooked. Paired up with some of my Roasted Cauliflower Rice, it made a delicious and yummy meal.

Tefal Actifry Genius - Roast Pineapple and Mango

Next up was the Roast Pineapple and Mango and therefore it was back to the Tefal Actifry App for the handy step by step recipe.

This dessert was super easy to prepare and used just a handful of ingredients, you will notice I made a slight adaption by reducing the amount of honey and swapping it for some sweetener, just to reduce the syns down a little bit further.

Once in the Tefal Actifry Genius, it cooked effortlessly and the result tasted amazing with such simple ingredients while still remaining a delicious and healthy dessert.

I paired this up with some Greek Yoghurt, but it would also go well with some ice cream, or you could even add some leftovers to your oatmeal in the morning, in fact, next time I cook up this dish I am definitely making extra.

How yummy does the Roast Pineapple and Mango look spooned over some Greek Yoghurt?

I'm handing the Tefal Actifry 360° menu board over to Mrs Mummy Wright - I can't wait to see what she makes.
