to use a microwave or air fryer instead of an oven. .
He said: "The problem with the equation for heating equipment is an oven is going to be about 2000W. A microwave I believe, from memory, a best guess explanation, a microwave gives you consistent heat whereas an oven is warming up to full temperature and then topping it up so it isn't running at full power the whole time.
"General equation is, find the wattage of an item, then work out how many kilowatts or what fraction of a kilowatt it's using, then multiply that by 34p per hour of use." His guidance comes as separate research carried out by the consumer experts at Which? revealed the cheapest cooking appliance for popular meals. For the majority of foods that were tested, the air fryer was found to be the cheapest as well as the quickest option.
