The T-Fal Actifry fryer needs only one spoonful of oil to cook a load of fries, or “chips” as they are known in some parts of the world. According to the Electricshopping website, “simply load up to 1kg of freshly cut chips into the Actifry, drop in a measure of your preferred oil using the spoon provided and set the timer, the Actifry does the rest”. They also claim that this method of “frying” is actually safer than traditional methods since it is fully automated and uses a fraction of the oil. This gadget might be worth a try if it can truly make good tasting food. Sure beats carrot juice! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 40% | Activity: 84% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Healthier Cooking Gadgets:** Opportunity for innovation in kitchen gadgets that promote healthier cooking methods. - **Automated Food Preparation:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in fully automated cooking devices that require minimal human intervention. - **Reduced Oil Consumption:** Potential for innovation in appliances that use less oil for cooking while maintaining taste and texture. ### Who This Affects Most - **Kitchen Appliance Manufacturing:** Opportunity for kitchen appliance manufacturers to create and market innovative devices that promote healthier cooking. - **Food and Beverage:** Potential for the food and beverage industry to incorporate and promote healthier cooking methods in their products. - **Consumer Health and Wellness:** Opportunity for companies in the health and wellness sector to explore and promote healthier cooking solutions to consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Advanced Air Fryer Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/midea-air-fryer.md) - [Compact Advanced Air Fryers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/easy-fry-surface.md) - [Intelligent Multi-Functional Kitchen Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/actifry-appliance.md) - [Spacious Low-Oil Cooking Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/russell-hobbs-satisfry.md) - [Infrared No-Shake Air Fryers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/t-fal.md) - [Air Fryer-Approved Frozen Fries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mccain-air-fryer.md) - [Convenient Air Fryer Oils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frylight-air-fryer-pure-oil-spray.md) - [Oil-Free Outdoor Fryers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oil-less-turkey-fryer.md) - [Double-Compartment Air Fryers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/versatile-air-fryer.md)
