Over on Instagram, consumer champions Which have given a full run down over how much money you can save by using an air fryer to cook your meals instead of a normal oven.

Which? wrote: “Air fryer vs oven: which is really cheaper?

“We tested chicken, fish fingers and chips, and a full roast dinner in both to see which will cost you less, save you time and taste better.”

Using an air fryer that cost roughly £100 against an oven, the team did cooking tests for both an individual and for a family.

The outcome

Which found that if you’re cooking for just yourself, and you cooked four chicken breasts meals a week in the air fryer instead of the oven, you’d save less than £25.

And that’s an annual saving. Yep, £24.75 for a year.

“That means it would take four years to make a £100 purchase worthwhile,” Which? says.

Things are similar if you’re cooking in bulk for a family, with Which? saying you’d need to make 1,026 meals to make the £100 purchase worthwhile. If you’re using the air fryer every day, that’s just under three years to break even.

“You would only be saving about 10 pence per meal,” Which? says, “and only cut down your cooking by 13 hours.”
