An air fryer is a popular kitchen appliance that uses hot air circulation to cook food, providing a crispy texture similar to deep frying but with significantly less oil. Learn about the electricity costs of running an air fryer and how to optimize your energy consumption.
Air fryers come in different sizes ranging from 2L to 5.5L capacity. Smaller models typically use 1200-1400W while larger models can use up to 1800W. In the Philippines, air fryers are becoming increasingly popular for healthier cooking options. Compared to traditional deep frying, air fryers can reduce energy consumption by up to 50% since they don't require preheating large amounts of oil.
