I understand that air fryer spins the air, while oven keeps it still. What I don’t understand is how hot air moving changes the way the food is cooked? Like is air fryer just faster? Whenever I eat food from air fryer it has a completely different quality than from the oven.
Plus, a lot of ovens have a fan inside. Wouldn’t it spin the air as well?
In: Physics
Air fryers can get to higher temps faster. They can get hotter faster. Less preheat time.
Air fryers not only move the air around but also cycle it as in like, the steam is removed keeping the air dryer, helping it make food crispy.
And that fan in a normal oven only turns on when you set it to convection.
But yes overall, an air fryer is just a smaller convection oven
