Many shoppers are looking at air fryers and slow cookers right now in a bid to cook in a more energy-efficient way and cut bills. And it has led to plenty of interesting experiments with what you can actually cook well, or not, in the different machines.
One idea that has sparked interest is whether a full English breakfast can be cooked overnight in the slow cooker - the idea being you stick it in before you go to bed and then wake up to the smell of hot bacon all ready to eat with minimum fuss. But does it really work?
One Manchester man tried it out and shared his rather mixed, and amusing, results. Smyth Harper, from Blackley, posted a teaser picture of his slow cooker breakfast attempt on his Facebook page - with the promise of sharing the results with friends, which he then did in full.
