With energy bills on the rise, many households are thinking about ways to keep costs down - whether that be using the washing machine less, or investing in energy-efficient devices.
One way in which you can shed hundreds off your energy bills is by investing in an air fryer which is said to save the average household around 50% of energy costs, compared to using a gas cooker or oven.
Not only does an air fryer make meals healthier by using less oil compared to deep frying, but the clever kitchen device takes much less time to preheat, compared to the 15-20 minutes it takes on a standard oven - saving you money and time in the long run.
Many foodie TikToker’s have shared their cooking videos which has led to a surge in demand for air fryers, with the hashtag ‘#airfryer’ amassing over 4.5 billion views.
One air fryer which we’re loving is the Instant Pot Vortex Clear Cook Air Fryer - and it’s on sale right now, down from £119.99 to £100.
Like other Instant air fryers, this appliance has a frying basket. It’s controlled by a digital touch screen and a rotating dial to adjust the cooking time and temperature.
As well as air frying food it has a number of other settings including grilling, baking, roasting and dehydrating.
There’s also a clear window on the drawer-style basket, so when the interior light is on, you get a clear and helpful view into exactly what’s going on inside the air fryer.
It has six quarts (5.7 litres) of interior room for frying, which is plenty of space to feed four to six people.
Another kitchen appliance that is more 'efficient' in terms of energy usage are slow cookers. Anything from the Instant Pot Pro Crisp at £249.99 down to the Ambiano slow cooker on Aldi at £19.99.
