Consumer champions Which? have said that the hype around the air fryers may in fact be "justified".
The experts say not only can you get "equally good or better cooking results" by using it, but it's also "three times cheaper" to run compared to ovens. This year they have proved very popular on Christmas lists across the globe.
The recent research by Which? is part of the consumer site's Money-Saving Monday series. They found that kitchen appliances such as air fryers, microwaves, pressure cookers and slow cookers, can all have cheaper running costs than conventional ovens when cooking various food items.
