Reply to comment by Gcodelife in There are two types of air-fryer owners. Those who have one and never use it, and those who use it too often. There is no middle ground by PM_ME_UR_HIP_DIMPLES

I don't think you can compare a deep fryer to an air frier.

Taking French fries as an example:

Deep fry > air "fryer" > regular oven.

It's definitely more efficient than an oven for smaller portions and because it's a compact convection oven, it definitely does a better job at cooking evenly.

But no, it is NOT A DEEP FRYER. They call them air fryers so they sell better, its more catchy.

Oil fryers (deep fryers) get food way crispier because it transfers heat better than air. Essentially, you want to cook the food before it dries out. Air fryers work by convection, which is just blowing hot air over the food, which works better than just sitting in a hot oven.
