Cooking Sunday roast to cost £5 every time you turn on the oven

Cooking a Sunday roast has long been a staple of the nation. Whether its, beef with Yorkshire puddings, pork and stuffing, chicken or something more exotic many people see it as the main meal of the week.

But as the cost of living crisis continues to worsen, there are fears for its future. Experts are now warning it it set to top £5 just for the energy used in cooking it. They have also warned the cost of cooking a Christmas dinner will be even worse and could cost a staggering £10 based on a 5kg turkey, reports The Mirror.

In 2019, the price of keeping a 3kw oven on for two hours was just over £1. That will rise to £3.12 when the October price cap rises. By January it will cost £5.16.
