The past three houses I’ve lived in have had convection ovens; I thought convection mode was fairly common by now.
Comment on Anon buys an air fryer
Norgur@fedia.io 8 months agoAnd it moves way more air than a normal oven, this removing water vapor faster. This water vapor that partly steams the food, resulting in moisture saturated air that in turn precents more moisture from escaping, is the main difference between a frying pan and an oven. A deep fryer replaces the water with oil, an air fryer just extracts the water quicker. Both prevent the food from cooking in water or steam, resulting in a crispy texture.

Every place I’ve ever rented has had the cheapest possible electric coil stove with no features, some of them didn’t even have a “clean” setting…

Never even heard of electric stoves with a clean function. Never seen a gas stove.

The clean function locks the door, cranks up the heat, and burns off all the crud in the oven. You can vacuum any ashes left after it cools down. Its awesome if you’re lazy like me. I have zero interest in bringing out the Easy Off and elbow length rubber gloves.

Oh, yeah. It’s been a long while since I’ve lived in that environment. You’re probably right that most cheap stand-alone stovetop/oven units don’t have a convection setting.

It is unless you are buying the cheapest model(s) possible.

I’ve seen them commonly in homes in Europe, but I’ve not seen them once in the US. But even convection ovens are not as effective as air fryers because they’re not as efficiently designed. They use the same principle, but the shape and fan power to volume ratio in air fryers is much better.

I was very surprised that it cooked such moist chicken breasts without drying them out, I think you possibly just explained why that is! 😅

Didn’t they say it does stuff out quicker?

Hold on let me read it again for ya -

They’re not the one with reading comprehension problems. OP said the air fryer removes that moist air more quickly, which would dry it out faster.

Dude.
The first sentence:
Says that the sentence you quoted applies less with an air fryer than a conventional oven.
octopus_ink@lemmy.ml 8 months ago
Everyone misquoting the guy telling you that you read the sentence wrong, and ignoring that you already said the breasts came out juicier in an air fryer. (they do)

They have the reading comprehension of baboons
