Air fryer or oven: which suits your everyday cooking?
An air fryer is a small, fast oven with a fan, and an oven is a big, slow air fryer. Neither is magically healthier: the oil you add is what changes the calories, at about 40 kcal a teaspoon.
Use the calculator to see what your oil adds per person, and when an air fryer or the oven fits the number of people you cook for.
