Air fryers have grown in popularity recently thanks to claims that they can help save money on your energy bills.
Air fryers are also said to be a healthier alternative to deep fat frying. The kitchen appliance works by circulating hot air around the food. This creates a crispy, crunchy exterior which requires minimal fat.
A 2015 study found that due to using less oil than conventional deep fat fryers, air fryers offer a lower fat cooking method when making food such as chips. Opting to cook with an air fryer can also help you to save money during the current cost of living crisis.
