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

Fundamentally, yes.

Practically, things labeled "air fryer" make different tradeoffs than things labeled "convection ovens".

In particular, air fryers have comparatively big fans, and vent way, way more air out the back to keep humidity down, so they make food much crispier than a convection oven does.

Yeah, I keep trying to use my convection toaster oven as an air fryer and it doesn't work out and then I'm like "SEE?! AIR FRYERS ARE STUPID." But really I've never tried one.
