Innovating for
your health
Nutrition is, of course, about eating a varied and well-balanced
diet. But it is not only that,
because nutrition is more than
the sum of ingredients.
How you cook plays a key role in
how nutritional value and organoleptic qualities (taste, texture,
etc.) are transformed.
And because not all kitchen
equipment is the same, TEFAL
has developed a product line dedicated to ENJOYING NUTRITION MORE: these ingenious
appliances preserve nutritional
integrity and bring out the real
taste of ingredients.

Providing unique
solutions
invests in research to
create equipment that has
unique nutritional performance,
supported by scientific studies.

Sharing
information
has always been a
special food partner helping
you prepare your meals quickly,
practically andeasily.

Day after day, TEFAL's Nutritious


& Delicious range help you share
culinary pleasure and a balanced diet by:
enhancing and preserving the
qualities of natural ingredients
that are essential to your diet;
limiting the use of fat;
promoting a return to forgotten
tastes and ingredients;
limiting time spent on preparing meals.

The story of
ActiFry
by Groupe SEB
The Groupe SEB (Socit
d'Emboutissage de Bourgogne)
has 150 years of history based on
constantly innovating and
conquering new markets. SEB's
goal is to make life easier for people
around the world, providing them
with products and new solutions
that bring joy and well being.
This mix of inventiveness, ambition
and persistence, along with the
attention we pay to consumers,
has made our group world leader
in small household appliances.
Our company headquarters have
been located in Burgundy, France,
since we were founded, and we
have always been inspired by this
famous region's historical values,
with its recognized gastronomy
and unique cultural heritage
strongly influenced by the lifestyle
of its inhabitants. So, it comes as
no surprise that this region is the
birthplace of a revolutionary way
of cooking!

Today, in addition to simplifying


your daily life, we also provide you
with delicious culinary moments
and many other agreeable
experiences, thanks to products
that are perfectly adapted to
healthy, flavourful cooking.

ActiFry
Burgundy style
The idea of making homemade
chips with very little oil arose a long
time ago, and we were able to
approach the question from
another angle through our
research work with French
universities that focused on the
cooking process.
This new knowledge led us to
understand the precise role oil
plays in cook ing and the exac t
parameters needed to get a crispy
outside and a soft inside. Once we
developed and mastered this
process, we needed to transpose it
in a household appliance. It took
no fewer than five generations of
prototypes and mul t ipl e
organoleptic tests to come up with
the sought-after quality and
results.

Our research and studies led to four


different patents concerning this
revolutionary procedure.
There were more than ten years of
research between the initial idea
and the first production series in
January 2007. Now, as a result of
this teamwork, ActiFry is produced
by the thousands every day, in
France, in the heart of Burgundy.

ActiFry
Revolutionary
ActiFry
ActiFry makes 1 kg (2 lb) of real
homemade chips, crispy on the
outside and soft inside, with only
one spoonful of oil! That is less
than 3% fat with chips that taste
just like those our grandmothers
made. WithActiFry, we can use
quality oils that are good for us, so
we can vary dishes and flavours. It
is part of our Nutritious & Delicious
range that combines the latest
technology with SEB know-how for
delicious healthy eating.

Universal
ActiFry
ActiFry has travelled a lot and
people just keep talking about it. Its
talent as an international "cook" is
without contest, and its trips to
various countries always please
eaters' taste buds. It is no surprise
that more than a million families
throughout the world have
adopted it.
It is also because health is a key
concern for everyone that ActiFry
appeals to knowledgeable
consumers in a number of
countries.

ActiFry is, in fact, a great success


nutritionally: ActiFry can make 1 kg
(2 lb) of golden, crispy chips with
only a single spoonful of oil, and it
can adapt to the culinary culture of
every country it visits. Great chefs in
Italy, France, Germany, Turkey,
Eastern Europe, Australia, Canada,
Russia and many other countries
are using it without difficulty to
combine healthy eating with
pleasure in local gourmet recipes.

ActiFry
and You
And all of this is only the beginning.
ActiFry hopes you will tell us about
your recipes. Your talent in cooking
can accompany ActiFry on
itsjourneys, so do not hesitate to
visit the Nutritious & Delicious site
to add your recipes.

ActiFry
and the Media
ActiFry was born in France, in the
city of Is-sur-Tille. Today, not only
customers, but also journalists from
around the world visit its birthplace.
They want to understand what
magic potion gave rise to such
innovation. ActiFry even has
paparazzi shooting it non-stop
when at consumer demonstrations and tastings around the
world.

What

professionals say

TURKEY
Professor Osman Mftoglu, endocrinologist

It is essential to recognize good carbohydrates, good protein, and


good fat, to not intake more energy than you need, and to turn to
foods that are rich in antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and fibre.
Basically, "eating" is amagic word that means more than simply
feeding yourself, but also choosing a lifestyle that influences your life
negatively or positively.

RUSSIA

REPUBLIC OF SLOVAKIA
Doctor Peter Minarik, gastroenterologist

The choice is clear: if we want to respect the rules of healthy


eating, it is not enough to only focus on appropriate food
choices, but how you prepare a meal is also important.
With ActiFry, your favourite dishes become healthy and delicious.
This new appliance should be found in every modern kitchen and is
sure to please people who defend healthy eating. ActiFry is a muchawaited product on our gastronomic and culinary market.

Doctor Trifonova, nutritionist

In modern Russia, healthy eating corresponds to quality cooking that preserves


food flavours and reduces cooking time. The Nutritious & Delicious product line is
an absolute reference in the area. As a specialised user, I can confirm that it meets
not only the standards set by dieticians, but also those standards Russians are
looking for in household appliances, making it possible to cook delicious, high quality
food. This combination responds precisely to the main principles of dietetic doctrine,
which concerns not only the science of nutrition, but also the lifestyle to adopt.

AUSTRALIA
Doctor Trent Watson, certified dietician

ActiFry represents a fantastic opportunity to cook with less fat, which


allows people who work to prepare a large number of favourite
family dishes quickly and easily. ActiFry offers a really low-fat
alternative to frying. With it, you can associate high quality
ingredients with a small quantity of oil to quickly prepare flavourful
and healthy meals, which is a good way for working families to stay
healthy.

FRANCE
Doctor Christian Recchia, physician, nutritionist

Eating is, above all, a social act of sharing, a moment of pleasure we


constantly renew, but it is also an important moment of well being and
health. Eating well is a good way to grow up better and to age better.
ActiFry's features make it possible to eat chips and potatoes with low
quantities of fat, which helps fight obesity and cardiovascular diseases.
ActiFry also offers the possibility of cooking other foods well: vegetables,
meat, fish, and fruit. This cookbook is an exciting concentration of flavourful,
varied dishes cooked in a revolutionary appliance. The combinations were
judiciously chosen to give you a maximum of satisfaction both taste-wise and
nutrition-wise. All the recipes were carefully developed to take into account the
nutritional properties of each ingredient, and their inclusion in a balanced menu.

Vary your oils


There are four major fami l ies of vegetable oi l s and fat s :
saturated oils, oleic oils, linoleic oils, and linolenic oils.
Vegetable oils are made up of
varying propor t ions of fat ty
acids. These fatty acids can be
saturated, monounsaturated or
polyunsaturated. An oil's fatty
acid composition determines
what it looks like, how it responds to cold and heat, its nutritional value and the impact is
has on the body. Fatty acids can
also be produced by our body
from glucose. Monounsaturated
fatty acids contribute to the formation of the mye l in sheath
that surrounds nerves and play
a role in regulating the metabo-

Polyunsaturated oils
The human body cannot produce
polyunsaturated fatty acids found
in these oils. Linoleic acid and
alpha linolenic acid are both
polyunsaturated fatty acids that
need to come from food sources,
and they are called "essential" for
this reason.

lism of lipids and cholesterol.


They fight high choles terol and
reduce levels of LDL ( the type of
cholesterol that lines arteries)
and increase levels of HDL (the
type of cholesterol that recuperates
and eliminates excess cholesterol).
They protect the cardiovas cular
sys tem, cerebral tissue and the
nervous system.

Linoleic acid decreased overall

grape seed oil.

High-oleic monunsaturated oils
These are oils that generally contain
more than 50% oleic acid.
Monounsaturated fatty acids are
particularly present in olive oil,
sunflower oil, hazelnut oil, almond
oil, pistachio oil and pecan oil.

This acid reduces triglycerides


in the blood and contributes
to fluidifying the blood. It is
found in linseed oil, soya oil,
walnut oil and lupin oil.

Beware of saturated oil!


These oils have more than 40%
saturated fatty acids in all. The
more a fat is saturated the more it
tends to harden at room temperature:
coconut oil, palm oil, shea butter,
and animal fats, for example, have
high levels of saturated fatty acids.

Saturated fatty acids resist well to


heat. However, the body has a
hard time assimilating them, and
as a result, they increase bad cholesterol levels. Therefore, because
they can be harmful to our health,
we should limit our consumption
of these fats, without eliminating
them totally from our diets.

Potatoes:
delicious and well balanced
Potatoes are very popular, yet suffer from numerous prejudices
and are often accused of causing weight gain. However, they
are a food product that is qualitatively interesting nutritionally.
They can contribute to a balanced diet by providing elements
that tend to be missing in today's diets, including vitamins, magnesium, iron and complex sugars.
Potatoes have practically no fat
(0.1%) and little protein (2%).
They are made up of 80% water
and 16% starch, a carbohydrate
our body assimilates slowly.
Potatoes are an excellent source of
energy and contain a good
quantity of fibres. Peeled potatoes
may have only a small quantity of
fibres (1.5 g/100 g on average), yet
this quantity is not negligible,
considering that 300 g/10 oz or
potatoes provide 20% of the
recommended daily allowance.
These fibres help digestion and are
particularly non-irritating.

Potatoes not only contain most


trace elements, they also provide
significant quantities of:
potassium, which is essential for
muscle contraction and for the
heart muscle;
magnesium, which plays a major
role in maintaining the nervous
sys tem, wi th 300 g/10 oz
covering an adult's daily needs;
iron, which plays a vital role in
blood formation.
The vitamin C found in potatoes
makes it easier to assimilate iron
(0.3 to 0.9 mg/100 g).

Potatoes have multiple qualities that make them a food for everyone at
every age.

How should I cut the potatoes?


How you cut the potatoes will influence
how crispy they are. The finer the cut, the
crispier they will be and vice versa, that is
the thicker they are, the more they will be
soft in the centre.
Vary the cut according to your taste:

How should I prepare potatoes


for ActiFry?
For best results, you need to make
sure the potatoes do not stick
to g e t h e r . To d o s o , w e
recommend washing them well
whole; then cutting them into
chips and washiing them again
until the water is clear. This way
you remove a maximum of
starch. Dry them thoroughly with
a very absorbent tea towel. The
chips should be perfectly dry
before you put them in the
ActiFry.

Standard : 10 x 10 mm
Thick : 13 x 13 mm

Potatoes vary in size, shape and flavour


depending on variety, climate, and how
they are grown. Each type of potato
has its own characteristics in terms of
season, production, size, colour, storage
and culinary uses.
Cooking results can vary depending on
where the potatoes come from and the
season.

Balance is Key
The good news is you do not have to
choose between a balanced diet and
delicious food. There is a solution:
ActiFry. This new, innovative appliance
was designed by Tefal to decrease the
quantity of fat needed to cook chips
and your favourite dishes without
denaturing the taste. It is a really
useful tool!

Balanced menus for the week


You do not build a
balanced diet based
on a single meal, but
over a whole week!
It is essential to vary
your menus
That is why this cookery book provides
you with a number of original recipes
spread out over two weeks of balanced
menus. They are simple to make and,
with ActiFry, respect the flavour and
nutritional properties of the food.

Breakfast is a key
moment in the day
and important to your
nutritional balance.

We suggest an ideally balanced


breakfast based on four essential
groups: a beverage, a dairy product,
a grain product and fruit, eaten
whole, as juice or stewed.

As a nutritionist, I see people fighting


every day to eat less fat, less salt and
less sugar to lose weight. I see people
succeed for a period of time, more or
less, and then give up. They break
down and return to old habits that are
bad for your health in the short or long
term.

Whatever your preference, make sure


that each of these four groups is
included on your morning breakfast. It
is important to select products carefully
for their nutritional properties and
flavours, so that this useful breakfast is
the first delicious moment in your day!

Lunch and dinner


should each provide
1/3 of your daily needs.

They include a starter, main dish (fish


or meat with starch and vegetables),

REGULAR BASIS
Potatoes lend themselves to so
many different preparations
that they can fit very regularly
into your menus and you
never get tired of them. When
it comes to chips, the problem
is having them repeatedly day
after day, so vary the way you
cook potatoes. Balance and

Turkey meat has a large
amount of quality protein,
with the advantage of
having little fat, and the fatty
acids it contains are primarily
monounsaturated
and
polyunsaturated, which
contribute to a healthy
cardiovascular system. The
peppers supply vitamins,
particularly vitamin C,
because 200 g/7 oz of

more than 100 mg of
vitamin C, which is enough to
cover your daily needs.

THE VIRTUES OF PRAWNS!


Prawns have a number of
nutritional properties. They
are low in fat and have a lot
of good quality protein,
which is essential for healthy
muscles. In addition, they
have a lot of vitamins, in
particular B12, which
contributes for forming red
blood cells, and B3, which
frees up energy for your
body's cells. They also have
zinc, which is recognized for
its antioxidant properties.

To make a spicier dish, add dried, ground chillies. Cajun spice mix
is a Louisiana speciality made with garlic, onion, paprika, black
pepper, cumin, powdered mustard, Cayenne pepper, thyme and
oregano. If you cannot find the prepared mixture, use all or part of
these ingredients to season your prawns.
