Air fryers have been going viral recently as a cheaper alternative to your oven or microwave, but new research from Which? shows it depends on what food you're making.
Which? tested a variety of recipes using air fryers, microwaves, pressure cookers and slow cookers to see how much each appliance cost to run. Testers calculated how long it took, how much energy it used and, crucially, how much it cost to use different appliances to cook the same foods, reports the Mirror.
Air fryers and microwaves provided the most impressive results, but Which? says it's important to consider how much those appliances cost. For example, most people already own a microwave and oven but would have to purchase an air fryer, which can cost as much as £300, so while it's cheaper it may take a while before you start saving money.
