Better still research by energy firm Utilita found that ditching an electric cooker in favour of options such as air fryers and slow cookers could help families save money during the cost of living crisis.
Although the gadgets have been around for years, they’ve soared in popularity in the past 12 months. In their annual consumer report published last year, John Lewis revealed that sales of air fryers have increased by 400 per cent.
Air fryers have been touted as a good way to cut on energy costs this winter, as they use a fraction of the energy of a conventional oven — just 14p a day to run, compared to 87p.
This is because the fryer uses spiral heating element with a powerful fan, which means that it cooks food faster than a regular oven, and requires less electricity to do so.

Data from energy firm Utilita and supermarket Iceland and published by the Daily Mail reveals a standard electric oven costs 87p a day (£317.55 a year) to run, based on average daily usage. However, an air fryer will set you back 14p a day, or £51.10 a year.
This means that if you already own an air fryer, you can save £266.45 a year.
