Mini oven v full size electric fan oven

Wednesday65

Hello All,

Does anyone know if I would save money if I bought a basic mini oven to use rather than a full size electric fan oven? I only ever use it for one shelf full to cook veg or fish.

Go 'air-fryer', my child.

You can get them up to 26 and even 30 litre size for around £150.

Assuming these larger ones are as good/effective as their smaller cousins, it should present a sizeable energy saving - next to no warm up time, faster cooking times, and stuff. Oh, and awesome results.

We have a largish combo microwave oven - it has a fan - and it's undoubtedly faster = cheaper - to heat up. An air fryer should be better still, as it actually cools faster too.

If the mini oven you are considering is NOT fan-assisted, I personally wouldn't entertain it.

Do check out the larger air-fryers, tho' - if they are large enough (and good chance they are), they it could be your answer.
