Being energy efficient means not having to add more infrastructure to produce electricity which is the most environmentally friendly thing we can do when it comes to electricity production. Everyone should have an air fryer so they wouldn’t have to use their oven for small things!
They crisp stuff up better, they’re faster, and they’re more energy efficient. They’re great if you’re just feeding one or two people. If you’re cooking up a big batch of something though a convection oven is probably better
It is an oven with the convection setting turned on by default. So it’s like having an oven but for a regular person instead of the design made for 1960s suburban moms cooking for 10, like the “regular” oven
Personally I use mine (which is a toaster oven / air fryer combo) because it’s faster and easier to clean. So if I’m making something that fits in it, that’s my choice
As an honest answer, no preheat time. But I have an air fryer-pressure cooker combo, so the air fry is more of a bonus. If you already have a connvection oven, yeah there’s absolutely no reason to get an air fryer.
I use my air fryer a lot, despite having a fan oven also.
The fan circulation is more powerful than in a typical oven, so air fryers are really good at is crisping things up, and doing it quickly.
If you ever get take-out and have left over fries, you can put them in the air fryer and they go from fridge-limp to deliciously crisp in just 3 minutes, it resurrects them perfectly. Can’t get results like that in the big oven.
It’s a great alternative if your rental has a gas oven and you are rightfully concerned about the indoor air pollution caused by the burning of natural gas. We can’t change the installed range so we use an air-fryer/ toaster oven on one counter and an electric induction burner on the other. We got a wooded range cover and use it as counter space for food prep.
Well I personally would never. That said I don’t begrudge anyone who uses them. They’re great gadgets for the right person and kitchen. I have a rice cooker for a reason.
Why use those instead of an oven?
It takes a lot less energy and it’s faster.

But then you use it more because it’s just a small thing. I barely use my oven.

They are convection ovens.
of course, but you know what I mean

Technology connections did a good Video on the topic, and a comparison between them and normal ovens.

Ty!
Faster, more energy efficient and for small stuff easier to use.
Could be placebo but some stuff tastes better than from my oven in convection mode.
Of course, the browning performance is definitely superior and more consistent

I still use my little airfryer a lot, even if i have a good oven. It’s big enough for me, it’s faster and easier to clean.

Fair point! I have an electric oven thankfully. No gas in the building thankfully.

Because the instructions on the bitterballen said so
