Air fryers have become massively popular since the start of the cost of living crisis as people look for ways to cut their energy bills. But Money Saving Expert Martin Lewis has come forward with some advice for people thinking about using the fryer or microwave instead of an oven.
Mr Lewis says cooks should hink carefully before ditching their more traditional kitchen appliances when trying to save some cash., reports the MEN. Speaking on the latest installment of his podcast, the consumer champion advised people on what to use when cooking.
He 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.
