Are air fryers cheaper than ovens?

Air fryers have surged in popularity since energy bills soared as they can be cheaper to use than a conventional oven.

They can be a healthier option too as they use less oil.

But they might not always be the cheapest option, and sometimes it is easier to cook larger meals in an oven.

If you want to work out whether an air fryer is actually cheaper than your oven, you can use a simple formula:

Cost = power (in kWh) × time (in hours) × price of 1 kilowatt on your energy tariff.

So, if for example, you have an air fryer that consumes 2,000 watts, you are using it for one hour and the cost of electricity is priced at 34p per 1,000 watts, the formula would be:

2 x 1 x 34p = 68p

If you used it for two hours, the formula would be:

2 x 2 x 34p = 136p (£1.36)

You can use the same formula with any appliance, so you can do this with your oven and work out the difference in price.
