As the gadget of the year, praised for its power to churn out golden chips, crispy bacon and sizzling sausages, the air fryer may well have made its way on to your Christmas wishlist. But have you considered opening it early and using it on the big day to cook every ingredient on your lunch menu?.

Amid spiralling energy costs and rising grocery prices, it's no wonder home cooks are turning to the air fryer — which can cut a third off your energy bills — to make family meals.
