Shoppers are going wild for these air fryer alternatives that are cheaper and healthier to run
AIR fryers have been a hot topic in recent years, with a huge rise in sales as people look for healthier and more cost-effective ways to cook food.
But now shoppers are searching for an alternative kitchen appliance that’s said to be a better (and cheaper) alternative to air fryers: halogen ovens.

Halogen ovens work by releasing infrared heat from bulbs, which is then circulated around a glass bowl by fans, cooking the food in the process.
They use less energy than traditional ovens so may help to reduce your household bills and require less cooking oil or fat.
They’re also generally cheaper to buy than air fryers, with prices starting from around £30.
One of the best halogen ovens is the Daewoo Healthy Halogen 17L Air Fryer, currently on sale for £38.84 on Amazon.
Claiming to be 73% cheaper to run than an electric oven, this handy kitchen gadget can cook for up to 8-10 people at once and is easy to clean, with little-to-no oil needed when cooking.
It has racked up thousands of five-star reviews on Amazon, with customers calling it “a culinary marvel”, “so easy to use and versatile” and “great value for money”.
Another halogen oven that is proving popular is the EMtronics 17 Litre Halogen Oven, which is even cheaper, costing £30.69 from B&Q.
Similar to the Daewoo one, this model features temperature and timer controls, with shelves for cooking different foods all at once.

One B&Q customer called it “very easy to use”, while another said that “it roasts the best chicken”.
With a slighter smaller capacity but lots more cooking functions, JML Halowave Halogen Oven – which costs £60 from Argos – is a great choice for those who want a more high-tech halogen oven.
With energy costs still high, we predict we’re going to be hearing a lot more about halogen ovens in the coming months.
