Christmas day is just around the corner as cooks across the country gear up for the traditional festive feast.
As many households plan to celebrate on a budget, air fryers have made headlines as an energy saving alternative to the oven that can perfectly cook a number of foods. With the festive holiday on the horizon, new owners of the appliance are wondering if it can cook Christmas dishes.
According to Marc Williams, Cookery School Director at the five-star hotel The Grand, York, the energy efficient machine is perfect for making crispy roast potatoes and tasty parsnips.
When asked how an air fryer can help the process of cooking a Christmas dinner, the expert chef answered: "They are fantastic for roast potatoes and cut down cooking times drastically. The air fryers with two sections are great for cooking at different temperatures.
"Try honey glazed parsnips on one side at 180°C and roast potatoes in the other at 200°C. This will make the day easy and free up some oven space if needed, just don't try to cram a turkey in there!”
Following the staggering surge in energy prices, air fryers have been hailed as the new kitchen necessity.
Not only can it mimic the effects of a deep fat fryer without the health implications, its fast cooking speeds mean it requires far less energy than other methods.
Many Brits are pledging to use it on Christmas day in a bid to cut costs, however experts have explained why using the oven may be more financially efficient.
It can however help offload the work of the oven as using a combo of both devices can maximise cooking time. The air fryer can also cook ingredients like vegetables in a different way to classic roasting, adding variety to your Christmas plate.
