Someone call Channel 5 and check if its OK, because there are some people turning away from air fryers.

Either you have one and use it for all sorts, or you don't and are probably starting to wonder why everyone's going on about these things all the time.

Air fryers are very popular because you can cook pretty much anything in them, and they can be cheaper and healthier than other methods of cooking as well.

It may be the latest thing taking up valuable surface space in your kitchen but the air fryer might have been eclipsed by another gadget or gizmo which still pales in comparison to the glory of the Breville toastie maker.

Just as video allegedly killed the radio star, now the 'halogen oven' is accused of attempting to plunge a dagger into the back of the air fryer.

Essentially a big glass bowl with a lid, halogen bulbs and a fan, the little ovens are praised for being particularly efficient as they tend to be bigger and you can stick more food inside to cook.

The air fryer might be much cheaper to run than most other cooking appliances but they don't tend to be particularly sizeable.

With the halogen oven you can probably do all your cooking at once instead of stringing out the food preparation.

However, both of them are cheaper than the traditional oven.

You might be thinking of ways to save money around the home, and these appliances could be a good idea, especially compared to the more traditional oven which you'd reckon to be the beating, burning heart of the kitchen.

You can easily find halogen ovens on Amazon from around £30, with this one from Daewoo having an average rating of 4.4 stars from 7,878 reviews.

Customers say the ‘energy savings alone compared to cooking in the main oven has meant that it has already paid for itself’ after just a few months.

Plenty write that it has brought both the ‘cost and time way down’ for cooking as another says they ‘don’t know how I got by without it’.

While some recommend buying a digital version instead of this manual one and warn it can be quite big in the kitchen, they say it ‘cooks more efficiently (and cheaply)’ than an oven.

Will you turn your back on the air fryer for a halogen oven?
