Five million households – about 18 per cent of homes – will use an air fryer to cook part of their Christmas dinner this year to cut their energy bill[1], according to new research from Uswitch.com.
The popularity of the energy-efficient appliance has boomed this year, with the numbers of homes planning to use one this Christmas Day almost double what they were last year.
People are turning away from traditional cooking methods as they try to save energy, with the proportion of households using the oven this year falling four per cent and those using the hob and microwave down six per cent.
