While air fryers have been around for some time, there’s no doubt they’ve become one of the top cooking purchases in 2022. So, why have air fryers become the must-have kitchen item over the past year or so?
Well, they’ve been found to be significantly more cost-effective in terms of energy use than a standard oven, with consumer demand rocketing by 3,000% as people attempt to reduce their energy bills. According to research from Utilita Energy, air fryers cost an average of £55.71 a year compared to the £335.57 it takes to heat up a larger oven.
But there are other benefits to owning an air fryer too. They cook food quickly, with little to no oil, making them popular with dieters. They also crisp food up allowing you to enjoy everything from mouth-watering chips to delicious loaded potato skins. Cooking plant-based products this way is a breeze too – so check out our healthy air fryer recipes.
