John Lewis device turns your oven into an air fryer for £11

Air fryers are a growing trend as they help households to create tasty, healthy foods in minutes while costing less in energy.

However, buying one can set people back more than £100. And with the cost of living on the rise, not everyone can afford to fork out such a huge amount, even though air fryers are cheaper to use than conventional ovens.

But now John Lewis have come up with a cheap alternative. The retailers are stocking a product that costs just £11 which, according to the packaging, will 'turn your oven into an airfryer!'

The NoStick reusable 'Oven Crisper Basket' carries a Teflon label and claims to shorten cooking time, offer 'healthy cooking' and will see 'foods crisp fast and easy' thanks to 'optimum hot air circulation'. Depending on your view of what's a 'healthy' food, it says the basket is 'ideal for the preparation of oven chips, nuggets, pizzas, onion rings etc without having to use butter or cooking fat'.

The rear label adds: "The grill openings allow optimum hot air circulation and thanks to the perfect non-stick coating, the food will never stick to the crisper basket". The product is said to be heat resistant up to 260C (500F). But you are advised to remove the basket from the oven if it has a self-clean cycle about to begin.

To use it safely you should use wooden or plastic utensils to avoid exposing the basket to sharp edges. The product should also be kept away from any flames if you are using a gas cooker.
