Comment on Anon buys an air fryer
pantyhosewimp@lemmynsfw.com 7 months agoFor the longest time in my life I didn’t realize that a conventional oven is different from a convection oven. Some regular size ovens have a convection mode even though they are also conventional.
I assume that’s why when someone finally came up with a decent word substitute for “convection” – that is air fryer – it sold well.

I’ve had experience with convection ovens too and they still suck compared to an air fryer. I have no idea if the ovens with an “air fryer” function are any different to convection or if it is just a gimmick though.

A convection Oven means a fan in the oven to move the hot air around.
An Air Fryer typically has a fan that moves a alot of air, and typically in a much smaller space such the super heated air moves quickly all over.
