Since they don’t technically fry… Or do they? They’re basically mini electric ovens. What’s the difference between an air fryer and an electric oven, other than size and energy consumption?

    A convection oven circulates hot air around the food to maintain an even cooking temperature.

    An air fry uses a much stronger flow of hot air, and the air is not circulated but instead evacuated from the cooking chamber

    My convection oven works the way you describe the air fryer. I’m shocked to learn they actually make them without vents. Why do they do this??
