My impression is an air fryer is an otherwise ordinary convection oven with better splatter containment for use with a basket. It's interesting how little changes like that can lead to such huge benefits.
- dragonwriter 4y agoAir Fryer recipes can apparently be used unmodified in a standard convection oven with an air frying basket, so that seems to be the case.
- Ekaros 4y agoBoth use convection. But the difference is the circulation. Convection oven pushes it over the food where as air fryers push it on the top of food. Later being much more effective. It does actually make a difference.
- surfpel 4y agoYep, you got it. “Air fryer” is just a marketing term for a stronger convection oven. My “air fryer” has a toaster oven form factor and the splatter containment is awful, so the basket design really helps with that, from what I’ve seen.
