How do air-fryers work?

611 views

If you’re using oil, I assume it heats then atomizes the oil so it cooks the food item in hot oil by coating it with a mist rather than the traditional method of dunking it in liquid oil, but it says on the box you can cook many items with no oil.. so how is this different from just baking/roasting them in a traditional oven?

ETA: Thanks everyone!

It’s a small convection oven with a higher fan speed than a standard convection oven. They also don’t have to preheat, so they’re a lot more usable for single people who live alone and just want to make a single serving of fries or something instead of taking the time to preheat the oven and then wait 20 mins. My air fryer will cook up fries from frozen in less than 10 mins without preheating.

There’s really nothing special about them over a traditional convection oven, they’re just a lot faster and more convenient.
