A 75-year-old great-grandmother is preparing a Boxing Day feast for 14 people using five air fryers, claiming they are cheaper, quicker, and healthier than a traditional oven.
Beverley Jarvis, a 75 year old great-grandmother, is set to cook her entire Boxing Day meal for 14 using five air fryers, claiming it's 'cheaper, quicker and healthier'. The Ashford resident and author of the Everyday Air Fryer Cookbook plans to serve sugar and rum glazed baked gammon and salmon with satsuma, chilli and parsley, all made in her beloved air fryers.

She revealed: 'That cooks in 17 minutes. It's 40 minutes in the oven.' For dessert, Beverley will be making caramelised fruit - with nectarines, pears and plums. She also plans to make some cheese scones - which take just 15 minutes. Although she isn't doing the Christmas dinner this year, Beverley says the air fryer makes the 'best roast potatoes'.
