Air fryers in demand

DEMAND for energy efficient air fryers has rocketed by 3,000% in a year as people attempt to offset soaring fuel bills this winter, figures suggest.

The kitchen gadget, which is capable of cooking a wide range of food, has been found to be significantly more cost effective in terms of energy use than cookers.

Research by Utilita found that air fryers run at an average cost of £55.71 a year, while an electric cooker runs at £335.57 a year.
