Air Fryers
Find out our top six benefits of using an air fryer below:
- Cooking with air fryers can cut up to 70% of calories and fats as you need little to no oil. Reducing the amount of oil you use in your cooking is associated with a lower risk of heart disease.
- A 1500 watt air fryer costs around £60.36 to run per year, compared to a 3000 watt oven that costs around £120.72 to run per year (as stated by Greenmatch).
- Air fryers can save both time and energy. Food can be cooked and ready to eat before a costly takeaway arrives.
- You can use an air fryer in many different ways including, grilling, roasting, dehydrating and reheating.
- Cooking with an air fryer can help preserve more nutrients in foods that might be lost during traditional frying methods.
- An air fryer is easy to use and maintain, with many featuring pre-set cooking programmes for your favourite meals and are non-stick.
