Martin Lewis warns households to check cost of running air fryers and ovens
He said: "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."
"The problem with the equation for heating equipment is an oven is going to be about 2,000W," he said. "But if you're doing a jacket potato in the microwave for ten minutes it's going to be far cheaper than doing a single jacket potato in an oven and keeping it on for an hour and a half.and you were cooking many of them, that is where it's probably cheaper than putting five or six jacket potatoes in a microwave.
If you have a 1,000W microwave and you put it on for ten minutes, Martin worked out that it will cost around it's 6p to have it running.
