We tried using an air fryer instead of an oven for a week to see if it worked

With energy bills, and the price of everything else, continuing to rise we are all looking for ways to cut our household bills. Hundreds of thousands of people have been turning to air fryers as one way to keep costs down - but do they work?

Iceland encouraged everyone to pledge to turn off their ovens for a week, and use an air fryer instead - The Big Cooker Switch Off Challenge - and we decided to give it a go. So from the end of October our gas cooker - and hob - were off limits.

Instead we stuck to a 4L Tower air fryer, the same unit Iceland has been selling for £35. While avoiding anything gas-powered, we did also use the microwave, kettle, toaster and a Ninja Foodi to tackle anything we didn't think the Tower air fryer would handle.
