I tried cooking a fry-up in an air-fryer – it cut my energy bills and I was shocked by the result

KNIFE and fork at the ready, I nervously tuck into my fry-up and wonder - will it taste as good?

Everyone loves a fry-up, so I'm testing to see how it fares being cooked in an air fryer - and if it will slash my energy bills.

Households are rushing to buy air fryers because experts say they are cheaper to run.

Research from Utilita shows households could save £263.80 a year by swapping their ovens for an air fryer instead.

With energy bills set to jump by £500 more a year from April, that's a big saving you can make.

I’ve already tested out cooking a roast in an air fryer - and was impressed by the results.

I put it to use again to see how cooking the nation's favourite brekkie would turn out.

Cooking the fry-up

I didn't have a clue where to start cooking my fry-up.

Luckily, Iceland had a recipe on its website for how to cook one in an air fryer.

First, I started by cooking my sausages first - they took 14 minutes to cook.

Just over halfway through, I put my bacon in, which took six minutes to cook.

I then used my special air fryer cooking tray that I bought off Amazon for £7.99 to cook my beans, mushrooms and egg in.

I couldn't put my beans straight into my air fryer - they would have fallen through the holes in the bottom of the container, making a big mess.
