In the midst of the current soaring energy prices, and in the mind frame that I should be trying to cut spending wherever I can, I have become increasingly curious about exploring alternative options to my every day energy use in the hope that I can find cheaper ways to live.
I discussed the topic with a friend of mine, Ellie, and she revealed that according to her smart meter - which sends daily graphs to her phone informing her of how much energy she is using, and how much she is spending throughout the day - she believes the most expensive time of an average day to be meal times. So, I decided to embark on a mission to discover the most cost effective way to cook food between an air fryer and an oven.
To do this effectively, I enlisted the help of Ellie so that I could use her nifty smart meter to review the cost of the spike in energy at the exact time that I cooked with each of the appliances. Her energy supplier is Bulb, which is one of the UK's leading suppliers of green energy.
