The Actifry is one of the few models that offers a mixing paddle that gently stirs foods as you cook them. We found that this worked great for smaller sized items, say diced bell peppers, but food with any heft to it tends to get obliterated by the paddle (we have a slew of crushed tater tots that can attest to this fact). Therefore, for most food items, we would suggest cooking without the paddle (just be careful not to drop any food through the hole it leaves in the fry basket).

All you have to do is to add the ingredients into the pan, close its led, set the countdown timer, turn the product on and it will do all the cooking for you.
