TheBat@lemmy.world 5 months agoHeating element with fan on top blowing air downwards
A lot of convection ovens have fan in the rear, now what?
it’s surface is way larger than largest air frier I’ve ever seen.
Is that a flex? Air fryers are faster because their volume is much smaller than the traditional oven.

- RejZoR@lemmy.ml 5 months ago- Glass convection oven specifically always has heater and fan on top. - Yes, it’s a “flex” because companies advertise how XXXXXL their air frier is and is still smaller than 10 years old glass convection oven that also costs 5x less.

Air fryers cooking speed isn’t because they are small, it’s because they produce a large amount of heat compared to their volume. Being small makes that cheaper and easier to do.
Toaster ovens/convection ovens can match the same affect, although most dont. Some, do.
