When I was asked recently if we would be interested in reviewing the Breville Halo+ Health Fryer there were squeals!
For anyone that doesn’t follow my blog, I am on a weight loss journey and I am always struggling to find things that I can cook or use to make healthier meals for the whole family to enjoy. So needless to say trying out the new Breville Halo+ Health Fryer was going to be an amazing opportunity.
When it arrived it was well packed and has some handy tips on the front in relation to timings of things. However the I was still reeling from the term ‘health’ and fryer’ in the same sentence …. but its true it certainly has the taste and texture as fully ‘fried’ but obviously it uses a bucketful less fat or oil!
My second observation with this machine is … it’s never going to blend into a kitchen .. however I personally think that’s a good thing, I like quirky and adore the colours of the Breville Halo+ .. I also love the fact it tilts when cooking certain things along with the amount of things that you can cook!
First thing tackled in this Health Fryer had to be chips!! … well we never normally have then as we don’t like frozen chips so it would make a nice change to have chips.
With only half a spoon of oil needed for a 1kg of real chip potatoes it was fab. Although having said that we did remove some half way through just to speed up the cooking time as one batch takes 35 minutes …….. but WOW WOW .. they really were tasty like the chips cooked in a deep fat fryer!
They were crispy on the outside and fluffy in the middle .. delicious!
What I totally loved with this fryer is the fact it’s so easy to clean, and if you are lucky enough to own a dishwasher then you wash in there too! (for me I will have to keep donning my marigolds)
So far I have cooked chips, fish and jacket potatoes …. next on the list is cake! .. yep you can cook cakes in there too Yippee!
This really is a super handy machine and it’s certainly a keeper in this kitchen .. if it multi tasks then it stays … although to make it perfect can you make one Breville that washes up please?
