Martin Lewis has issued a warning to households who have ditched their ovens for microwaves and air fryers in order to save money.
The Money Saving Expert has called on people to be mindful that they aren’t using more money as a result of the switch.Soaring energy bills have accelerated the switchover for many people, with air fryers promising to use less energy than cooking in an oven.
Speaking on The Martin Lewis podcast, he said: “A microwave gives you consistent heat whereas an oven is warming up to full temperature and then topping it up so it isn’t running at full power the whole time. “General equation is, find the wattage of an item, then work out how many kilowatts or what fraction of a kilowatt it's using, then multiply that by 34p per hour of use.”
