## About
Enter how many people you cook for, what you usually cook and your worktop space. The finder recommends a capacity range in litres, tells you whether a single basket or a dual drawer suits you, checks a model's size against your worktop with the ventilation gap manufacturers ask for, and estimates the cost of a typical cook at your electricity price.

## How to use
1. Enter your values in the fields above.
2. The result updates automatically as you type.
3. Copy or note the figures you need.

## FAQ
**What size air fryer do I need?** As a guide: 2 to 3.5 litres for one person, 3.5 to 5 litres for two or three, 5 to 7 litres for a family of four and 8 litres or more (or a dual drawer) for larger households or batch cooking.

**Why leave a gap around an air fryer?** They vent hot air from the back and top. Manufacturers usually ask for around 10 to 15 cm of free space, and it should not sit under a cupboard.

**Is the Air Fryer Capacity Finder free?** Yes, with no sign-up or limits.
