Do air fryers use less electricity?

"Cooking in the air fryer uses less than half of the energy required to cook the chicken or the jacket potato in the oven," says Greg. "So, cooking in the oven costs more than double what it costs in an air fryer."

Because an air fryer's fan is more powerful and the compartment is smaller, the whole device is more efficient, says Jakub. "If I have a chicken thigh, I will probably cook it for 20 minutes in an air fryer. In an oven it would take longer." Also, it takes longer to pre-heat a larger, conventional oven. Because an air fryer's fan is more powerful and the compartment is smaller, the whole device is more efficient. Dr Jakub Radzikowski, Imperial College London However, because the drawer in an air fryer has less capacity, you can only cook smaller amounts. "If you're cooking for four people or six people the kind of time saving doesn't work anymore because you have to cook in a few batches in the air fryer," says the food scientist.

3. An air fryer is great for 'crispy' foods

Marketing images for air fryers often feature chicken and chips. This is because they’re great for cooking "anything that you want crispy", says Jakub. Kale chips, banana chips, panko courgettes, you name it. His favourite food for the air fryer is chicken legs or thighs: after 20 minutes you get something that's "perfectly juicy inside" with a skin that is so crispy it "shatters like glass".

4. It's healthier than deep-fat frying

"Compared to deep-fat frying it is obviously healthier because it has lower fat content," says Jakub. But it can also be healthier than cooking with a conventional oven. If your potatoes are sitting in oil then they will absorb it as they cook. With the air fryer it’s all in the perforated basket: "If there is any excess fat it will drip to the bottom and you don't have to eat it." There remain healthier ways to cook but "the perk of an air fryer is that it often has additional functions to the air frying function," says Anya Gilbert, senior digital reviews writer at BBC Good Food Magazine. You can often grill or steam instead, both without using oil at all.

5. There's a huge range of prices and functions between models

The range of different air fryers on the market is vast. "They’re getting more and more versatile as well," says Anya. "Some of the newest models from brands like Ninja have about 15 functions." BBC Good Food Magazine recently published its 14 best air fryers of 2022, rating models across a whole range of categories. "Cosori as a brand came out really well as best value standard size but also best for affordability in general," says Anya. Their 4.3 litre model retails at £79. However, it's possible to spend a whole lot more. "The Ninja Foodi MAX Health Grill & Air Fryer was a really highly rated model,” says Anya. "It's around £249, but it has a few bells and whistles. For example, an integrated meat thermometer."
