The Money Saving Expert has issued a warning to anyone thinking of using air fryers instead of ovens, after he received a number of queries about the popular kitchen gadgets
Money Saving Expert Martin Lewis has sounded the alarm for those considering swapping their ovens for air fryers. Amidst a surge of interest in brands like Ninja and Tower, he addressed the issue on ITV 's This Morning after receiving numerous queries about the switch.
He challenged the idea, saying: "I heard you on the show mentioning someone was gonna cook dinner in an air fryer. Is that right? If that's being done for energy reasons, I would be somewhat sceptical whether that is a good idea." In a recent discussion focused on the cost implications of meal preparation, Martin emphasised: "If you're doing a jacket potato for 10 minutes it's going to be far cheaper than doing a single jacket potato in an oven and keeping it on for an hour and a half.
This principle can also apply to other forms of cooking, like air frying or halogen cookers. He explained: "If you had a 1000W microwave and you put it on for 10 minutes, one KWH for a sixth of an hour, a sixth of 34p is about 6p, shall we say? So it's 6p turning the microwave on for that amount of time. So yes it's a very useful equation."
