It's all to do with the massive price rises in energy in the UK, 
especially electric in pence per kWh.Due mostly to the war that Putin 
started...At one point the government had to rebate every energy 
customer £400, spread over 6 months.Even then, the cost was relatively 
very expensive- currently around double what it was 3 years ago.
That encouraged everyone to be super efficient in their energy use- both 
gas and electric.Turn everything off at  the socket to eliminate standby 
current etc. Many people on facebook energy type forums promoted the 
efficiency of 'air fryers'. Yes, they are basically nothing more than a 
small electric oven. Some have 2 compartments so you can cook a small 
chicken + potatoes one side and veg the other. Heating element is ~1800W 
compared to a conventional oven of ~2500 Watts. Plus cooking times 
could, on average, be reduced by 10-20% and the temperature could be 
reduced by 10.20 degress C.Most prominent make is Ninja
