Comment on If an oven only has fan forced mode do i still need to set it to the fan forced temperature in recipes? Ie 160 instead of 180.

Yes. It cooks faster with the fan. Btw, it’s also referred to as a “convection” oven as opposed to a “conventional” oven. Air fryers are just small convection ovens.

Actually, air fryers suck in on top of the tray and it comes back from below while a convection oven just creates some turbulences in there. The difference is that the air fryer removes all the steam that comes off the food, reducing time to crisp up significantly.

  Where does the steam go? I never see steam coming out of my air fryer, and there isn’t a water tray.

    It’s blown out the slits (mine has it at the back) Since the air is so hot and it is so little water you can’t see the steam directly but a mirror will fog when put there
