I want to get away from using so much oil when I cook but oven baking uses a lot of electricity. I'm wondering how an air fryer compares and whether or not it is worth investing in one.

There are only two of us and I was concerned about cutting oil intake and the environmental cost. I have a particularly strange problem though ... for some weird reason, our flat doesn't have any electric sockets in the kitchen!!!An air fryer is an oven. So, you'll never really use it to fry food only bake it. I actually use my air fryer far more often than my oven. However, I don't have a house full of hungry people to feed.
I bought an inexpensive air fryer from QVC UK and hopefully it'll last me quite a few years.

I rarely use our food processor and we heat a kettle on the stove. We used to have an electric kettle in the livingroom but it kept blowing the main fuse.Oh that is strange. How do you manage to use a kettle and other useful appliances such as a food processor etc?
Does it need to be preheated?My wife bakes everything in a little toaster oven - bread, little baguettes, little pies. She never uses our full-sized oven. Because there are only 2 of us, it works.
At the risk of asking a blindingly stupid question, have you considered having a chat with an Electrician?....

And, if you're renting, an email to your landlord, possibly after a chat with Citizens' Advice.At the risk of asking a blindingly stupid question, have you considered having a chat with an Electrician?
It's down to the agency that owns the building and they have already refurbished the way they want it, including an electric socket in the bathroom, but not in the kitchen!At the risk of asking a blindingly stupid question, have you considered having a chat with an Electrician?
Sorry. I just saw that you're not in the UK, so my advice is moot.And, if you're renting, an email to your landlord, possibly after a chat with Citizens' Advice.
I use a small air fryer quite a bit. It is quicker than heating the oven and does a good job with lots of things, particularly potatoes in various guises. I've done bread rolls, with some dough I had left over from a pizza and they were perfect. Also, toasted chickpeas came out beautifully.
Fair enough.It's down to the agency that owns the building and they have already refurbished the way they want it, including an electric socket in the bathroom, but not in the kitchen!

I would have to make space on the table but thinking about it, if the kettle blew the fuse, this might too. The slow cooker works without blowing the fuse but I think that uses less power.So, if you were to invest in an air fryer, where would you plug it in?
