That’s handy to know, Mick. My smart meter monitor confirms that recommendation. The air fryer is a healthier option too, with any fat draining through the inner basket. Win, win!

With the energy price cap increasing in October 2022, this cost will potentially rise. The highest price you could pay per pence/kWh is 52p, so with that in mind, we've used 52p to calculate how much some air fryers could cost to run following the price cap increase.

An example 1500W basket air fryer used on average for 30 minutes a day will cost roughly £1.82 per week, £7.40 per month, and £90 per year.
An example 1700W basket air fryer used on average for 30 minutes a day will cost roughly £2.10 per week, £8.36 per month, and £101 per year.
An example 2400W air fryer oven used on average for 30 minutes a day will cost roughly £2.91 per week, £11.84 per month, and £144 per year.
