That’s just a forced air convection oven with less insulation though, right?

And? I’ll be honest. Want to reheat a thing, especially fast food, this is amazeballs. Want to cook something so it’s crispy on the outside and hot, in 5-10 minutes? This. From the freezer? 15 minutes. Laughed at ‘em then got one as a present. Love it.

It has a better shape and size that allows for the air to flow more efficiently. It really does make things crispier than a normal convection oven.

Okay I didn’t know that. Also you can add oil that will be spread evenly or something, right?

Not sure what you mean by that, I just use spray oil on the surface to make it crispy.

Less insulation yes, but crucially less volume to heat as well. Overall power consumption is typically less than that of a large oven because of the smaller size.

And a smaller volume capacity. I finally grabbed an air fryer and we use it most days. I didn’t expect to like or use it so much.

It’s great when you need 4 fries.

It’s not an easy bake oven. Try one out. It also does vegetables and chicken, if you’re not just into eating brown.

Ours is medium sized and is great for dinner-for-2.
