Yep, they are convection ovens on steroids when it comes to the amount of airflow.
I was firmly on team “LOL it’s a baby convection oven, big whoop” for years, but an actual purpose-made air fryer (not a toaster oven with air fry mode) cooks like an entirely different appliance.
I ended up with an air fryer. It’s still just a convection oven, but I use it constantly.
I love my adult E-Z-Bake oven, lol.
What’s with these? Do they heat up faster? More convection means more heat transfer? I don’t get it
Both. The fast-moving air really does have an almost frying effect, and mine takes like a minute or two to get up to temp (and fits a whole pizza).
