Airfryer baking: recipes with photos
Does baking in an air fryer really save electricity compared to baking in an oven?
Yes, and this is one of the main benefits for your household budget. The savings are achieved through three factors:
- Fast heating: an air fryer takes 3–5 minutes compared to 15–20 minutes in an oven.
- Small chamber volume: less air is heated, and heat loss when opening is minimal.
- Reduced cooking time: convection speeds up the process by 20–25%.
On average, baking a single batch of muffins or pies in an air fryer costs 2-3 times less in electricity than in a standard electric oven. However, for larger batches (such as a whole baking sheet of cookies for a holiday), an oven remains more practical due to its larger capacity.
