Martin Lewis issues warning to those using airfryers and microwaves instead of ovens

Martin Lewis has given some important advice to anyone who uses an airfryer to try and cut down on their electricity bills. Airfryers have seen a huge boost in popularity during the cost of living crisis due to their relatively cheap cost to run.

But the money-saving expert has warned that people need to think carefully before using their airfryer or microwave instead of their oven, reports the MEN. That is because, in some cases, using your oven can be cheaper.

Speaking on his latest podcast, Martin said: "The problem with the equation for heating equipment is an oven is going to be about 2000W. A microwave I believe, from memory, a best guess explanation, a microwave gives you consistent heat whereas an oven is warming up to full temperature and then topping it up so it isn't running at full power the whole time."
