Air fryer owners are facing a potential £64 increase in their annual energy bills from next week, following a warning from energy regulator Ofgem. The price hike is due to the rising cost of electricity, which is used to power air fryers.
Air fryers are increasingly common in British Bangladeshi homes, offering a healthier and faster way to prepare traditional dishes.This appliance allows for the creation of crispy snacks and meals, adapting well to the diverse flavors of Bangladeshi cuisine.
Ofgem has warned that energy bills are expected to rise by around 12% from April 1st, which could add around £64 to the average annual bill. This is bad news for air fryer owners, as these appliances use a lot of electricity.
Air fryers are popular because they are seen as a healthier alternative to deep frying. However, they use a lot of electricity, which is why they are being affected by the price hike.
Ofgem has urged consumers to be mindful of their energy use and to consider switching to more energy-efficient appliances. The regulator has also suggested that people could save money by using their air fryers less often.
Air fryer owners have been reacting to the news with dismay. Many are now considering switching to other cooking methods, such as baking or grilling.
The price hike is also likely to hit small businesses that use air fryers, such as cafes and restaurants. These businesses may have to pass on the increased costs to their customers.
Ofgem has said that it is working with energy suppliers to try to keep prices down. However, the regulator has warned that further price hikes are possible in the future.
Air fryer owners are being advised to monitor their energy use and to consider switching to more energy-efficient appliances. They should also be prepared for further price hikes in the future.
