AIR fryers have soared in popularity among Brits in recent years, but you'll need to know how much they cost to run.<\/p>\n
The handy kitchen gadget can not only slash your cooking time but can also help you save money as well.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
They are also pretty cheap if you know where to look, so the purchase shouldn't break the bank.<\/p>\n
The price to buy an air fryer depends on where you go and which model you buy. <\/p>\n
You can pick one up in most supermarkets now and there is usually a good deal to be found online too.<\/p>\n
Even so, it's important to factor in how much it's going to cost to run once you've found a home for it on the kitchen counter.<\/p>\n
The good news is that it's not much.<\/p>\n That could be welcome news to both homeowners and renters, particularly as energy bills remain high.<\/p>\n We explore exactly how much it would cost to have one of the quirky devices in your home.<\/p>\n When you use an air fryer, the food goes in a tray or basket and then the machine gets to work.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n A heating element provides the heat needed while a fan distributes this around the food, helping it cook quickly and evenly.<\/p>\n Between the heat and the drying effect of the fan, the food will become crispy – and plenty of people consider it to be a much more healthy way to prepare dinner.<\/p>\n The answer won't be the same for everyone, as what you pay for electricity will depend on your tariff and also how large and efficient your appliance is. <\/p>\n As with any appliance, a newer model is likely to be more efficient and cheaper to run than an older version.<\/p>\n The power of an air fryer is measured in watts, and this determines how much energy it uses – and the cost of using it.<\/p>\n But the more powerful the appliance, the quicker it will cook your food too.<\/p>\n We asked energy experts at Uswich how much the running costs are based on various-sized air fryers.<\/p>\n A 1,000kW air fryer costs around 27p to use for an hour, and 14p for half an hour.\u00a0<\/p>\n While a 1.500kW air fryer costs around 41p to use for an hour, and 21p for half an hour.\u00a0<\/p>\n A more powerful 1,800kW air fryer will cost around 49p to use for an hour, and\u00a025p for half an hour.\u00a0<\/p>\n You shouldn't always assume that your new gadget is going to save you money as well as calories, but it might help at times.<\/p>\n A 2kW oven costs around 55p to run for half an hour, or 27p for an hour's use.<\/p>\n You could run a 1,000W air fryer for an hour for 28p less.<\/p>\n And 3.5kW own costs around 96p to run for half an hour and 48p for an hour.<\/p>\n This makes an air fryer once again the cheapest option. <\/p>\n Ovens aren't the biggest energy suckers in the home, but they do guzzle a fair amount of electricity, especially if you use them often and for long periods of time.<\/p>\n An air fryer will be smaller and more energy-efficient than a full-sized oven, so you could save money on your bills if you used it for your midweek meals, and save the oven for a single batch-cooking session at the weekend. <\/p>\n We explore how much it costs to run a slow cooker, for example.<\/p>\n And we take a look at how much it costs to run a microwave too.<\/p>\n You can also join our new Sun Money Facebook group to share stories and tips and engage with the consumer team and other group\u00a0members.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/picture>NICE FRY <\/span><\/p>\n
