You should try using an air fryer

You should try telling me what the difference is between a convection oven and an air fryer, other than one having way better marketing.

Quote:
An air fryer is actually a countertop convection oven – a unit that uses fans to circulate hot air around whatever it is you’re cooking. As the definition of frying is to cook food in hot oil, it’s more accurate to call an air fryer a mini convection oven or air baker (baking and roasting utilize dry heat – i.e., air) – but as the Instant Pot proved with its epic rebranding of the pressure cooker, marketing is everything... So why not call it a small-scale convection oven, and tout its ability to cook your food crisply and evenly without having to preheat your regular oven? When it comes down to it, what the air fryer is really selling is the belief that you’re getting away with something.

The fan is stronger in a smaller space so the convective effect is higher and the heat source is closer so the radiant effect is higher.

The basic mechanism is the same but the appliances are fundamentally different, as I wrote before.

K. Doesn't sound "fundamentally different" to me. Just sounds smaller. Not saying that will make no difference at all, but I don't consider a round grill and a barrel-shaped grill fundamentally different either.

There's only one way to settle this, and been so for 20-something years

Post-COVID crazy action didn't last long for NL.

PLO seems to be doing very well though.

I have a fancy counter top appliance. It has a multi function switch bake toast roast convection air fryer.

As far as i can tell the fan works same in both settings

There is separate temp control.

Instructions basically say for air fryer use mesh tray, put up top, crank temp.

If the convection <-> air fryer settings do sumthin different i havent nailed what it is yet.

Convrction with temp cranked heats up stuff wicked fast wicked hot.

Air fryer setting does a decent job makes edible stuff not quite as good as real frying or bbq, but i think that is to be expected??

I season, light spray with vegetable oil then bread crumbs...

It really makes for an excellent change up from my Convection Oven.

Just until SPC does the 5k air fried wing challenge where she pedals the cooking fan herself blowing heat from the active volcano she biked up, and down into,while holding a convection oven in her teeth. Ever the loyal partner, squid brings the can of olive oil spray while following behind in his Land Rover.

Welp lost $70K at poker last night.

Not gonna lie, I feel a little sick. More than my biggest win, this is unacceptable. $100K win probably coming within the next 2 months. That's how it always goes.
