Actifry Question

[Stillinbedat10am]

Hoping the Mumsnet hive mind can help me out here with a really quick question about the Tefal Actifry!

In one of his finest moments so far this week my husband has managed to drop the little green spoon that you measure the oil into and then step on it whilst trying to see where he dropped it (the joys of living with a partially sighted husband ). I am now the proud owner of many little tiny green bits of plastic instead.

So, can anyone tell me how much oil that spoon measures? Can I get away with using a teaspoon or other size of spoon in place of it?

As a more long term plan... does anyone know if you can buy replacements? If so I am going to buy at least a dozen.

Thank you wise women of Mumsnet.

Filling it to the max line seems to be around 20mls

It also depends which machine you have:

How much oil is recommended for use in the ActiFry?

For the standard capacity 1kg ActiFry and 1.2kg ActiFry plus,there is a spoon provided with a volume of 14ml. The 1.5kg food capacity Family ActiFry is supplied with a spoon measuring 20 ml. The majority of recipes will use 1 spoonful of oil, however this may change according to the recipe. Some foods do not need one full spoonful of oil to be cooked in the ActiFry : frozen chips will already have oil on the exterior and fatty foods such as sausages may not need a full spoonful of oil as there may be a lot of fat already in the foods.

Oh crikey. I don't think we have the family one but I'll have to look and check. On the plus side I have discovered that I can by replacement spoons and I have just ordered 3!
