Typical cost to cook a 600g chicken breast: £0.14 in Great Britain (GB) and £0.21 in Northern Ireland (NI).
An air fryer works like a small conventional fan oven. Because they’re small, air fryers are often cheaper to run than an oven for the same meal.
In this example, it would cost £0.20 in GB and £0.29 in NI to cook the same portion of chicken in an electric oven. This makes the air fryer an ideal choice for preparing smaller amounts of food for one or two people.
Top tip: Try not to open the compartment any more than necessary to avoid letting out heat and wasting energy.
