Lindsay Lohan and Ayesha Curry opened up about their healthy double dates with their husbands.

The Mean Girls star, 37, said she and her husband, financier Bader Shammas, 37, like to “chat and hang out” and play cards with the actress, 34, and NBA star Stephen Curry, 36.

Curry, who is the godmother of Lohan and Shammas’ son Luai, shared their favorite double-date activities. People in an article published on Saturday: ‘I love cards. We play rummy.

‘Cards, cooking, movies. Then you can chat and hang out,” Lohan added.

With Lohan and Shammas spending most of their time in Dubai, the mother of one explained that she FaceTimes Ayesha — who is currently expecting her fourth child with the Golden State Warriors point guard — “a lot” to stay in touch .

“But I’m in the US more now, so we’ll see each other more often,” she added.

The Freaky Friday star also explained that they’ve been spending a lot of time together lately while filming their new Netflix rom-com Irish Wish – in which Curry portrays Lohan’s best friend.

“It didn’t feel like work,” Lohan said, adding that this is “really rare” to find.

Lohan’s younger brother Dakota Lohan, 27, also appeared in the film, while Shammas served as executive producer.

“It was really great just being with everyone,” she said.

And while they were filming together in Ireland, Lohan said they were able to arrange a few double dates.

“We’ve done that a few times,” she said. “Every time we didn’t call very early, because we had really early calling times here, like 4:30 pick up.”

Irish Wish follows a New York-based book editor named Maddie (Lohan), who is secretly in love with her star author Paul (Alexander Vlahos).

However, he falls in love with Maddie’s girlfriend Emma (Elizabeth Tan) and they get engaged.

At their wedding in Ireland, Maddie makes a life-changing wish.

Curry, who plays Maddie’s best friend and bridesmaid Heather, said the film, released March 15, is one where “you can get lost for 90 minutes and have a good laugh.”

They became so close, even before working on the film together, that she asked the Currys to be godparents to her son Luai – whom they welcomed sometime last year.

Earlier this year, in February, the NBA star signed a jersey for Lohan and Shammas’ first child. “To Luai,” he had written on the back. “Your godparents love you!”

The popular gadget returns every year and this year costs £39.99.

The practical and compact gadget is compatible with both gas and charcoal grills and features a high-quality ceramic pizza stone and an integrated thermometer.

Moreover, you don’t have to wait long this summer, because the pizza oven can prepare a 30 cm pizza in just 10 minutes.

The Aldi BBQ Pizza Oven has received rave reviews on Facebook.

One user said: “I’ve had one before and they are great.”

Another said: “We need one!”

“A bargain,” said someone else.

By comparison, a BBQ pizza oven from Dunelm is more than double the price at £89.

But often the price can run into the hundreds, like the £219 Casa Mia Bravo Pizza Oven from B&Q.

The Aldi BBQ Pizza Oven will be back on the shelves on March 21.

If you want to get your hands on these, you’ll need to act quickly as they tend to fly off the shelves quickly.

You can find your nearest Aldi branch by using the retailer’s store locator on its website.

Please note that not all stores offer the BBQ Pizza. It may be worth calling ahead to see if they have one in stock.

We all feel it sometimes. That clench of the jaw or roll of the eyes when our spouse loads the dishwasher badly or fails to take out the bins.

But have scientists now proved that women in long relationships do it more often than men? A study published in the Journal of the Association for Psychological Science in January revealed that wives fall out of love more quickly than husbands. 

When they asked volunteers to report their feelings every 30 minutes for ten days, researchers discovered that women in marriages of longer than three years felt love for their other half 55 per cent less frequently than those in newer relationships.

The equivalent figure for men? Just nine per cent. The reason probably isn’t rocket science. The study also found that women in longer partnerships spent more time doing chores and cooking, while men were found to spend more time relaxing and sleeping or napping.

Indeed, as Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and his wife Akshata Murty so amply demonstrated last week in a joint interview for Grazia magazine, nothing provokes disagreement in a relationship quite so much as the domestic load — though, in their case, the flashes of real irritation came from him, not her.

When the PM testily admits on video to making the beds himself because his wife ‘isn’t a morning person’, you know you have stumbled into the middle of the household chore wars. 

Sunak might laugh as he insists the children never eat balanced meals unless he’s around to supervise, but it’s surely the weary laugh of a seasoned skirmisher. We decided to try the research experiment ourselves.

We asked two top writers and their husbands to record their feelings towards each other in a diary at regular intervals over a week. 

What emerged was a fascinating insight into married life and the division of labour — the role each sex takes, the way they communicate (or fail to) and the love they feel (or don’t!) for each other as a result. All is laid bare in these compelling extracts…

Julie Cook says:

Monday afternoon

Feeling: Resentment

It’s 1.30pm and I’m making a pasta Alfredo bake when it hits me. A huge wave of resentment. Here I am, during my working day, staving off calls and emails from commissioning editors while attempting to write copy and stirring a homemade pasta sauce.

I should be devoting all my attention to my work. And time is tight, since I’ve got to collect my children Alex, 15 and Adriana, ten, from school at 3pm. But someone needs to prep dinner and either I do it now or later, when I should be working as well.

My husband Cornel, a pianist and interpreter, is working, too, but not at home, so the frantic juggle is all down to me. For the fourth time this week.

On the drive to school, my phone rings. It’s Cornel. He’s on a break and is in Home Bargains. I put him on loudspeaker and he says: ‘Which shower cleaner do you need again? And do you want abrasive scourers or normal sponge cleaners?’

I grip the steering wheel. Breathe.

Why is it my shower cleaner? My sponge? I tell him what to get, then hang up, just as he says: ‘Love you.’

I’m too fast to press end call to respond myself. We met in 2005 in Venice when I was 27 and he was 24. He was a gentleman, forever holding doors and pulling out chairs, and I was mad about him.

Then we had our first child, Alex, in 2008, and things began to slide. With a baby to look after, romance was long forgotten. Yes, he was a hands-on dad — he changed nappies — but suddenly a host of other jobs appeared that for some reason became mine and mine alone.

Feeding, sorting laundry, going to the pharmacy for baby products. I took them on because I felt I knew best, but it was a slippery slope.

Monday evening

Feeling: The R-word again

When I get in from the school run, I reheat the Alfredo I’ve made and serve it up. Cornel swans in and sits at the table, meal placed before him.

I eat fast because I know I need to clear up. He’ll offer — but he’s been out all day and is chatting to the children about school. I load the dishwasher, wipe the sides down, and with a sparkling kitchen feel much better.

Tuesday morning

Feeling: Love

Next morning when I wake at 6am, I roll over and hug him. Yes, when I first wake up, as we snuggle, everything feels happier. I definitely feel love at this moment, which is great until it turns into . . . stress.

Cornel has no appointments this morning, so agrees to take the children to school. And yet he’s late. He is always late. My son Alex is downstairs, shoes on and bag on his back. Adriana is almost ready. But Cornel? In the loo. It’s 7:55am and it’s a 30-minute drive to school where they must be by 8:30. ‘They’ll be late!’ I call, through gritted teeth.

Why am I always on time and he is not? I run around filling water bottles, ensuring trainers are in PE bags and books are in rucksacks.

When he leaves and I close the door I breathe a sigh of relief. The house is mine again. Which I rather like. I grab my diary and write ‘feeling: Joy’.

At 8am I step into the upstairs bathroom and find three towels on the floor. One for each of the people I share my house with. I write ‘deflated/ rage’ in my notebook.

Wednesday early hours

Feeling: Intense irritation/fury

I am woken by a strange noise. It sounds like a crow. I sit bolt upright in bed, and prod Cornel next to me. Nothing. He’s out of it.

‘There’s some kind of bird!’ I hiss.

He wakes up and I push him out of the room.

‘Cat’s been sick,’ he says upon his return, yawning. ‘Where’s the carpet cleaner?’

I roll my eyes and kick the covers off, stomping downstairs.

I am left to get a kitchen towel and a clean scourer and scrub the offending area, while Cornel stands over me still muttering about carpet cleaner. This pretending to be involved and not being involved makes me even angrier. I finish up and get back into bed at 5am.

Two hours later, I come down to toast and hot coffee, made by Cornel, which cheers me up. A loving feeling returns but I am tired, so it is not a very strong feeling.

Wednesday morning

Feeling: Love

We drop the children at school, then travel to London to see my sister, who has had her first baby.

Cornel says lovely things about my nephew/niece and suddenly I feel a deep love for him, remembering our own children as babies, and how good he was then too. When we leave at 2pm, he drives us out of London weaving effortlessly through traffic. I admire his skill and find this sexy. Feeling: amorous.

Thursday evening

Feeling: Exasperation

Adriana has to make a volcano for a school project. I huff and puff, but Cornel washes his hands of it. ‘I never did anything like this!’ he wails, walking away to ‘deal with emails’.

I help make the volcano with paper and paint and am pretty pleased with the result, only to find him in the living room playing pool on his phone.

I don’t think it’s him I have fallen out of love with. What causes this constant low-level frustration is the admin of life and how much of it I do.

Saturday morning

Feeling: Calm

Cornel is working both days this weekend, which means I’m at home doing the laundry, taking the children to clubs, washing up, cooking. Somehow when I am alone, I note, I feel less resentment. Because if he’s not here, he can’t do it, can he?

The kitchen’s sparkling and the dinner is made. He comes in and eats it and says he’s grateful to have ‘someone like me.’

I’ll take that, I guess. Overall, I’ve learnt that, while my love seems to ‘reset’ every day, I’ve also created a rod for my own back by taking on all of the domestic load.

I also tended to write the word ‘love’ more when he was not around, something the study also found: absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Is the answer time away? Possibly. Certainly, a fairer division of labour would make my heart sing more often.

Cornel says:

When I was asked to keep a diary for noting down what feelings I had for my wife, I thought she was joking. I told her: ‘I feel the same all the time.’ But she insisted.

At first it was hard remembering, but on the whole my feelings were of love and gratitude, especially when I come in and find the children eating a home-cooked meal, their PE kits in the wash.

I am aware of what she does — I just don’t get involved as I’d probably get it wrong. There are times I make dinner — I make a decent curry — but often she takes over and just does it.

One entry in my diary reads ‘annoyed’. This was when she was moaning about having to make dinner, but when I offered to chop something, she said I was in the way. You can’t win.

I like it when she gets affectionate every morning. I do feel she loves me then.

We used to be a lot more affectionate before children and when we had no chores and just rented a tiny flat, but with a family comes more responsibility which, I admit, Julie mainly handles.

Glancing through my diary, the main feelings that I wrote down are ‘grateful’, ‘love’, ‘missing her’, ‘happy’.

Inge Van Lotringen says:

Saturday morning

Feeling: Companionable

Justin and I met when I entered a competition to be a ‘VJ’ at the music channel MTV. He was a director there and picked me as a winner — more because he fancied me than for any discernible talent. That was almost 30 years ago.

I remember thinking how kind and attentive he was, and what a fantastic people person. We got married 23 years ago, and never even discussed having children — we both knew we did not want them.

Now 64, he is 11 years older than me but we both think we’re about 20 years younger than we are.

This morning he is repairing some panel from the classic Australian Bolwell Nagari racing car he loves so much. In the lounge. He also makes a salsa verde, researches a holiday, fixes the broken doorbell and prints off a picture of us that he likes.

Meanwhile, I go for a run. Most of the time we chug along like this pretty well. Until…

Saturday afternoon

Feeling: Angry

Justin has suggested a pricey investment. It’s with a friend and in safe hands, but spending money freaks me out. I’m a worrier where he is not.

In fact, in many things we are polar opposites. Justin loves people, company, activity, constant chatter, and self-indulgence, and I am quiet, rather antisocial, and a bit of a control freak, fond of exercise and looking after my health. I give the go-ahead to this investment, but feel instantly resentful that he has disturbed my mental peace.

In fact, I realise, whenever I feel resentment it is almost always for the same reason: money. He wants to go on holiday, race cars and build a house in Italy so we can have a long lunch with friends every day for the rest of our lives.

I want to know where my next job is coming from and if we have enough money for a care home, should we get dementia.

Sunday morning

Feeling: Exasperated

Barely slept as usual. Hungover from a night spent with a friend. Worried about my ailing mum, who’s 89 and has dementia. We go for a walk but Justin is unhappy because I’m not talking. Why can’t I feel ill and distracted without him thinking there’s ‘something wrong’? I’m annoyed because he’s too needy.

Sunday afternoon

Feeling: Guilty

Whether we’re happier than parent friends I can’t say — but I know the past three decades have been ones of contentment. While we can have screaming rows, they end as abruptly as they started.

They don’t settle into the contempt I see in other couples, perhaps because neither of us feels the other isn’t pulling their weight in shouldering parental responsibilities. Having said that, this exercise in ‘checking in with your feelings’ has been quite confronting. It shows me that our being ‘complementary’ too often means Justin just puts up with my crap.

He is the fun one and I’m the drama queen. He looks after me, doing all of the practicals and chores 95 per cent of the time. That means cooking, cleaning, gardening, fixing stuff and generally sorting out life, as I fret and catastrophise and work non-stop.

I feel secure in the knowledge that I love him and he loves me, but I can be too distracted to give him the constant attention he likes, and have a tendency to put dampers on his enthusiasm in the name of avoiding risk.

Monday morning

Feeling: Irritated

The other bone of contention is mental space. As a writer, I’m constantly in my head, and can’t abide distraction. But he gets unhappy when I’m mentally elsewhere, plus he hates silence and wants to share whatever he is thinking.

With both of us often spending all day in our flat, he’s constantly in and out of my office — until I tell him, cruelly, to Just. Bloody. Give. Me. Some. Peace. And. Quiet.

Monday evening

Feeling: Loving

I cook this evening (normally he’s the designated chef), and though he is unimpressed with my sloppy plating (‘have you chopped this with a power drill?’) and lack of mood setting (he goes round the flat turning on lamps and Jazz FM), he loves that I’m making an effort really.

He also says I haven’t hung the washing up in a suitably orderly manner for his taste, but this just makes me laugh. We decide we couldn’t live without each other. Which is the truth. If I could only relax, our life would be like a permanent holiday.

Justin says:

Inge is generally in a mild state of panic 24 hours a day, only broken by a run, cat videos, hot chocolates and Prince played at maximum volume.

My job is to try and calm her down, but that can be tough sometimes because her stress rubs off on me.

On Saturday afternoon, I definitely felt tense. It’s difficult to like her much when the subject of money comes up. We should be happy with no loans, debts or a mortgage to deal with, but she catastrophises like her mum and can become quite mean. And she still hates my yellow racing car. Which hurts. She makes me worry for no reason.

On Sunday neither of us had slept much. I never know what to do to help her.

When we went for a walk she was cross with me because I wanted to chat, but she did seem to perk up again later when she fed her favourite robin. Having a pet seems to cheer her up. We must get a cat.

Sometimes I do find myself walking on eggshells with her. Normally, I bring her cups of hot chocolate and little snacks while she works, but I have to be careful not to break her concentration because she will snap at me. It makes me feel sad and dejected.

It’s usually my job to do all the shopping and cooking, but when she does it, I think she enjoys it and so do I. Even if I nag about the messy plating.

The truth is, our relationship is about sharing, protection, care and companionship. I would like more passion, but stress (hers) gets in the way.

At the end of the day, I couldn’t live without her. Like something out of a country tune, I’m still madly in love with her after 28 years.

A COOKING fan has revealed how she got Mac n’ Cheese stains out of a wooden spoon.

She explained that a simple scientific trick came in handy for tough stains.

Carolyn (@allusernamesrtasks1) shared the cleaning hack in a TikTok video.

“Kraft uses artificial coloring to make their macaroni and cheese look yellow,” she explained.

She explained that the function of the dyes, which were made from proteins, could be broken down.

“It will lose its function and therefore its color,” she added.

Carolyn rattled off a list of ways to break the structure of a protein, including extreme heat, ions, a strong acid or a strong base.

She chose the strong base option because she only had bleach on hand and she didn’t want to risk tasting bleach.

Strong acids didn’t work either, because she didn’t have enough lemon juice to completely remove the stains.

Carolyn chose the extreme heat and ion method and compared the Epsom salt she had on hand to her table salt alternative.

“Epsom salt has magnesium and SO4 and they have a plus 2 charge and a minus 2 charge and the 2 charge is stronger than the 1 charge, so it’s a stronger salt,” she said.

‘Basically what I’m going to do is make a pot of boiling water, put some Epsom salt in it and then just whisk it into the water.

“Hopefully that will destroy or denature the structure of the protein and we’ll get this dye out of this spoon.”

After stirring the water with the spoon for 30 minutes, she was thrilled to see that her hack worked.

Carolyn warned viewers to add “a lot” of salt if they wanted to try her trick.

People thanked her for the clear explanation.

“Please become a teacher,” said one viewer.

“I love that you explained it in a way that I really understood,” said another.

Brooklyn Beckham revealed the latest cooking hack for his Instagram followers on Friday.

In his latest video, the son of former professional footballer David Beckham and Spice Girl Victoria, 24, gave fans a lesson on how to crack a coconut.

While smashing the huge coconut with a knife, Brooklyn had a clumsy blunder and spilled the coconut milk all over his kitchen counter.

Brooklyn quickly moved the coconut over the bowl to catch the rest of the milk, ignoring the spill.

He has used his Instagram platform as a launching pad for a career as an aspiring celebrity chef, but has regularly faced scathing criticism from scathing critics over his videos.

His cooking has come under fire in the past, as many have dismissed his simple recipes, use of expensive ingredients or accusations of nepotism.

In a new interview with Insider, Brooklyn emphasized that he is not impressed by the criticism, because he knows that he is “working his butt” and “cooking makes him happy.”

He said: “Honestly, I’m used to the hate. I don’t really care. Cooking makes me happy. I have more important things to worry about than people saying some shit about me…I’m doing my thing and working my butt off.”

Speaking to the publication, Brooklyn said: “Honestly, I’m used to the hate. I don’t really care. Cooking makes me happy. I have more important things to worry about than people saying shit about me…

‘My message to them is to keep writing what they want to write. There will always be people trying to bring you down.

‘I do my thing and work my butt off. So they can keep writing whatever they want, but it doesn’t bother me; I just keep doing my thing.’

It comes after his mother Victoria gave a shocking response when asked if she wanted to be a grandmother.

She was stunned after a Vogue interview last week with Chloe Malle, co-host of “The Run Through.”

During a conversation about her son Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz, Victoria revealed that she doesn’t like giving relationship advice.

But when Chloe asked if the fashion designer was interested in becoming a ‘Gramma’, Victoria was shocked and dramatic as if the prospect of becoming a grandmother was brand new information.

Victoria was floored by the suggestion that Brooklyn would have a baby with Nicola and gave the awkwardly animated response: “Oh. Jesus. What? Wow. Wait a second.’

The model then used her hand to fan her face before turning to the audience and saying, “I don’t think it’s going to happen now unless you guys know something I don’t know.”

When she finally regained her composure, Victoria said, “If I’m blessed, that would be wonderful.”

Then she started flapping her face again and dramatically repeating that “we’re not there yet.”

While Victoria may not seem thrilled about the idea of ​​grandchildren, Brooklyn has been very honest about her desire to start a family soon.

Brooklyn said in August 2022 that he wanted to have as many as ten children with his wife Nicola.

The aspiring chef, 24, claimed his “dream” was to become a young father and hopes to start a family with the heiress, 27, “soon.”

He told Entertainment tonight: ‘I have always wanted to be a young father and I would like to start a family soon, but when my wife is ready.

“I could have had ten, but her body… it’s her decision.”

ITV has signed a popular farmer to front a brand new cooking show, replacing James Martin after he retired from TV due to his battle with cancer.

Jimmy's Farm star Jimmy Doherty, 48, will do that host a new five-episode cooking show entitled Jimmy's Taste of Florida.

In the series, he crosses the pond to Florida and visits ten state locations, including popular destinations like Miami, Tampa, Universal Orlando and lesser-known areas including Anna Maria Island and St. Petersburg.

Viewers will see Jimmy share food stories with an astronaut at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex and race the fastest oyster shell in the US in Panama City Beach.

The show kicks off on Monday, with Jimmy celebrating on Instagram with a slew of behind-the-scenes snaps.

Expressing his excitement, he wrote, “I I love the US but didn't know Florida well so I jumped at the chance to discover a favorite holiday destination for Brits through its food… and it didn't disappoint!

“From boiled peanuts to Michelin-starred fine dining and everything in between, Florida has a great food story to tell.

'I'm more of a cook than a chef, so I was looking for simple, accessible, easy dishes that anyone can get started with. And of course I met some great characters along the way.”

Jimmy's recruitment comes next celebrity chef James51, announced he would be taking a break from TV until the end of February.

In November last year, he gave fans a heartfelt update on his health while on stage at Liverpool's Philharmonic Hall for his tour show.

According to The daily mirrorhe said: 'On a personal note I wanted to thank you for 30 years of television.

'For me personally, I have been through a lot of misery with cancer, but it will be resolved at the end of next month.

'I'm going to fight again at the end of February, but I'm taking a break to sort that out. I just wanted to thank you for all your support and all your messages.'

James revealed he had surgery to remove the facial cancer after his diagnosis in 2018.

The shock confession came after an extraordinary tape was leaked The sun where James berated his TV crew in a foul-mouthed tirade about a clogged drain.

He told the newspaper that the outburst was the culmination of a series of unfortunate events in his life, which began with the death of his grandfather, followed by a home invasion by masked burglars and ultimately a cancer diagnosis.

He said: 'Then I was diagnosed with cancer in my face and had to have surgery, which I wasn't able to do until two days before Christmas when we finished filming.

'Since then it has returned several times and I require regular treatment.'

The insulting 10-minute tirade against staff took place during production of his show, James Martin's Saturday Morning, and took place during a heated Zoom call in 2018 – the same year he had surgery for his cancer.

In the audio recording released by The sunJames swore 42 times and said his staff should be 'fucking fired' and ordered them to take their lunch break while standing in the 'fucking rain'.

James said he “completely regrets” getting angry, and agreed that “lessons have been learned.”

Last year he found himself in trouble again after being reprimanded by ITV bosses over allegations he bullied and intimidated his food show staff.

The broadcaster confirmed it had spoken to the star after concerns were raised about the treatment of crew members during the filming of James Martin's Spanish Adventure in May.

After investigating the matter, ITV chiefs told the programme's production company Blue Marlin that changes would be made immediately, online news website Deadline reports.

Sources at ITV told the Mail that bosses would take a 'strong interest in future shoots' from the chef, whose affable demeanor has won him a huge fan base.

NINJA has announced the release of a brand new cooking gadget and says it's the first of its kind.

The home appliance company is launching the industry's first vertical dual-basket air fryer.

1

The gadget, called the Ninja DoubleStack XL 2-Basket Air Fryer, delivers double the performance of a single-basket air fryer.

But it also takes up 40% less space than a typical dueling basket device.

Reacting to the news on Facebook, one Ninja fan said, “I can finally get one that fits in my kitchen.”

Another said: “We'll have to upgrade ours as soon as it's released.”

“This is exactly what we need,” said a third customer.

The device measures only 30 cm in diameter and reinvents what a traditional air fryer with two baskets looks like.

Instead of two drawers next to each other, they are stacked on top of each other, leaving you with more counter space in your kitchen.

The drawers have a ceramic non-stick coating and there are six different cooking modes to choose from: Air Fry, Max Crisp, Roast, Bake, Reheat and Dehydrate.

The Ninja DoubleStack air fryer will be available in two different sizes – 7.6 liters or 9.5 liters – when it hits shelves later this year.

Unfortunately, Shark Ninja has not yet revealed how much the device will cost when it goes on sale in the UK.

However, the manufacturer's suggested retail price for the product in the US is said to be $229.99.

Commenting on the new product line, Shark Ninja CEO Mark Barrocas said: “Shark Ninja's track record of launching breakthrough innovations and rapidly gaining market share across categories is the result of its boundless curiosity and relentless drive from our employees to solve consumer problems.

“Our latest innovations deliver the high-tech features, industry-leading performance, quality and exceptional value that Shark and Ninja products are known for, positively impacting people's lives every day, inside and outside their homes, around the world .”

Ninja is also releasing a host of other new gadgets as part of its new year product launch, including a new cooler and multi-cooker.

What is an air fryer?

An air fryer is similar to a mini oven that can handle almost everything you would put in a conventional oven or deep fryer.

They have a fan above a heating element that quickly circulates the warm air throughout the cooking chamber.

But because it only heats a small space, it heats up faster than a conventional oven and stays hot longer, so you use less energy.

Food is usually stored in an air fryer basket, which has vents that allow the hot air to pass through and cook your food evenly.

Air fryers are best for things you want to make crispy.

But depending on the model, you can also bake, roast and even dry ingredients.

How much do they cost to use?

Using an air fryer instead of a conventional oven is a much cheaper way to cook.

A two-kilowatt oven costs about 29 cents to run for half an hour, or 58 cents for an hour of use.

But you can run a 1000W air fryer for an hour for 29 cents less.

And your own 3.5kW one costs around 51p for half an hour and £1.02 for an hour.

This again makes an air fryer the cheapest option.
