However, common misconceptions about gravy-based dishes, especially curries, include: • It’s high in cholesterol • It increases gastroesophageal diseases • Its vitamins and minerals are lost in the process of cooking.

Developed using Pulsed Hot Air Circulation, a patented technology from France, ActiFry preserves the vitamin and mineral content of the ingredients used when cooking the dishes.

While a certain amount of cooking oil is needed by the body to produce ‘good cholesterol,’ Actifry comes with an ingenious green measuring spoon that makes it easier for you to identify the right amount for your cooking. ActiFry has a 1kg capacity, which makes servings of up to four, and only one spoon of cooking oil is needed for this.

Stir no more The last thing you want is to stand beside a cooking pot, constantly stirring the dish so it doesn’t burn – that time could be put to better use. An added advantage of ActiFry is that it comes with an automatic stirring paddle that consistently moves in a circular motion throughout the cooking process. If the recipe requires the addition of an ingredient halfway through the cooking process, turn on its digital timer and you’ll be informed of when it’s time for you to attend to the dish.

A cook’s call

Spend less time in the kitchen with the help of Tefal’s Sensorielle range of cookware.

We promise you, healthy food has never tasted so good!

Because most of us are not professional cooks, the simplest problems - such as food getting stuck to the base of the pan - can cause us to lose interest in cooking.

This is especially frustrating if we aren’t sure how to overcome the problem.

Made from Nobel metallic red hard enamel, the Sensorielle e range of cookware has practical features that can help you overcome your cooking woes.

This range is made up of: • Frypan (24cm, 26cm, 28cm and 30cm) • Grillpan (26cm) • Wokpan (30cm with glass lid) • Stewpot (24cm with glass lid) • Saucepan (20cm and 26cm, with glass lid)

Sensorielle 101 To ensure that your Sensorielle range lasts longer, remember to:

Cooking made easy Here are some of the common problems you face while cooking and how the Sensorielle range can help you overcome them.

1

HALF-COOKED DISHES Having your dish only half-cooked can be frustrating and embarrassing, especially if you have guests over as it can affect the overall taste and presentation of the dish. The Sensorielle range comes with a resistal base that uniformly diffuses heat. With this feature, heat is evenly distributed throughout the pan so not one part of the dish is cooked before the other.

2

IS THE PAN HOT ENOUGH? To ensure that your ingredients are seared properly, it’s important to know when the pan is heated enough. This range of pots and pans are equipped with the Thermo-Spot heat indicator that tells you accurately when to add in your ingredients. When the temperature reaches 180°C, its Thermo-Spot will turn solid red, giving you an indication that it is the ideal temperature that will seal in the flavours of in the ingredients in the dish.

3 Never plunge a hot pan into cold tap water

Never use steel wool or an abrasive cleaner when cleaning the pan

Only use a plastic or nylon spatula for cooking

STICK-NO-MORE Food residues in your cookware not only causes wastage but is also time- consuming when it comes to cleaning up. The interior of all the pots and pans in the range is 100 per cent nonstick. Cleaning is a breeze and can last for a longer period if taken care of properly.
