Yes, it’s an oversized, convection toaster oven, with a lot of fancy programs built in that I probably don’t need.
Having had a (gas) convection oven in the past, it’s just not the same. It heats up faster, and seems to do a better job of circulating air. Supposedly I had a pretty nice convection oven, too.
I can make really tasty falafel in my ‘air fryer’ that uses a tiny fraction of the oil that is used for deep frying; I wasn’t able to make decent falafel in my convection oven. Does a great job with frozen fries and tater tots too. I need to try roasting brussels sprouts in it, maybe some asparagus.
So far, it’s an easy 9/10. The only downside is the footprint.
I recently acquired my first ‘air fryer’.
