Trying to Save Energy? Try Using an Air Fryer Instead of Your Big Oven

I did the math to see how much cheaper an air fryer is to run compared to a full-size oven.

You don't have a cooking clue what you're talking about.

OMG, now Mr Chef who can only heat precooked food want to show his math skills.
You literally quoted where I said a tenth of the time/power and then give some random google search where, wait for it, its not a tenth of the cooking time, not even half

So how did we get these numbers? The easiest way to figure out how much an air fryer might save you versus a big oven was to calculate the wattage pulled per hour versus how much an electric stove would use. The same goes for a gas oven, although for that you need to figure out the amount of natural gas used for a stove as well as the cost of natural gas in your state.

Not a particularly good way to work out how much power either the air fryer or an electric oven uses. Both will cycle continuously, probably spending more time off than on once they reach temp. The only realistic way is to measure the power used for each from start to finish with something like a kill-o-watt.

If I remember correctly, it was something like 40 seconds heating 60 seconds just the fan. Have a video somewhere in the thread.

Not to disagree with you but a kill-a-watt is going to be challenging for your normal oven, they normally don't plug into ordinary 16A plugs. Not impossible to get the right equipment, but challenging for most home chefs.

All I'm saying is that their method of calculating the amount of power the devices used was woefully inadequate/inaccurate.

The stuff you usually make in your oven can be made in an airfryer.. Quicker, uses a tenth of the power that an oven uses and yes you can fit a whole chicken. Nothing makes chicken as good as an airfryer actually, No pan, no braai and no oven can make chicken as good as an airfryer.

A small whole chicken. Larger ones you have to beat it into submission before it will let you slide the tray in.

Collecting the juices to make gravy is difficult unless you use a silicone tray.

Agreed, a proper oven roasted chicken with potatoes and vegetables I don't think could be properly achieved in an airfryer in the same way

I have to use two to get the job done.
