Where did the recent air fryer trend come from anyway? (startrek.website)

It’s really a mini convection oven.

Yes but more so. I don’t think there’s any objective criteria but where a convection oven blows hot air over food to brown it all around, sn air fryer blows more to crisp the food

And for me the convenience is key. Like a microwave, just click a few buttons and wait for it to beep

My only problem is the lack of recipes. A few processed snack foods have directions, but I’m still figuring out how to vobvert instructions for real food. “subtract 20° and 20% of the time” is inconsistent

It's nice that some freezer food is coming with air frier instructions. Lots of trial and error before that.

Usually I just go with whatever the instructions are for toaster ovens if they don't have air fryer specific, I don't think I've ever really had any issues doing it. If there are only conventional I go with that temp but check it early and add time if needed.
