Airfryers vs. Convection Ovens – What’s the Difference?
If you’re considering buying an air fryer you might be wondering what the difference is between air fryers and convection ovens. The quick answer is that an air fryer is just a smaller convection oven with a catchy name. There’s no actual frying going on in an air fryer that’s because an air fryer cooks food via convection baking. So air fryers are essentially convection ovens. But that doesn’t mean the two are exactly the same. Let’s talk about what those differences are.
With real frying your food is directly submerged in hot oil. The oil completely surrounds every inch of your food so it crisps evenly. With regular baking your food will be less crispy because baking cooks by surrounding your food with hot air and air is not as good a heat conductor as oil.
