As energy prices continue to rise, households are adapting to cut costs and one way that Brits are trying to save is cutting back on a well loved meal.
New data from Tesco has found that home-cooked Sunday roasts are in decline with over a third of UK adults - 36 per cent - admitting to cooking the traditional dish less frequently than a year ago due to the costs of oven cooking.
The weekly dinner is a staple of British culture, as families sit around the table to enjoy a perfectly roast cut of meat with tasty vegetables crispy roasties and luscious gravy. But findings show that people don't want to risk raising their power use use by operating the oven.

However, the appetite for the Sunday roast doesn’t appear to have changed, as 46 per cent would cook them if they could do so in a more cost effective way.
Unlike more modern appliances the oven requires more energy to run overall. It was previously reported that the appliance costs an average of £1.02 per hour to run, while the air fryer amounts to 30 pence for the same time - and the slow cooker costing just five pence every 60 minutes.
Luckily, Tesco's Executive Chef Jamie Robinson has explained how you can cook a classic Sunday roast without an oven. From the air fryer to the slow cooker and even the microwave, the professional has explained how he uses each one to make variations of the tasty dinner without raising bills.
Slow cookers are a great alternative to an oven and perfect for cheaper cuts of meat such as brisket or pork shoulder as the lower temperature and longer cooking time tenderises the meat, whilst allowing the flavour to come out.
Simply prepare the meat, place into the cooker

Jem Aswad Senior Music Editor The living hell of concert ticket-buying loomed into the foreground again this week, but this time it was not millions clamoring for a limited number of Taylor Swift or Bruce Springsteen tickets but rather attempts by long-running British alternative band the Cure to avoid gouging fans for its forthcoming “Lost World” North American tour. While the group had managed to avoid such controversial policies as platinum packages and variable pricing, frontman/founder Robert Smith was appalled to see hefty service fees added to the cost of “Verified Fan” tickets, which are intended to protect fans by keeping tickets out of the hands of scalpers, for the tour.
