Difference Between Air Fryer and Oven

(1) Appearance

From the appearance point of view, most of the ovens on the market are square, with the door closed; while the air fryer is like a "can" with a drawer, opening the drawer is the frying basket of the air fryer, and put the ingredients on it. Put it in the frying basket and start heating. The ovens on the market generally have the smallest capacity of about 10L, compared to the air fryer's capacity of only 4L, which is more compact~

(2) Heating method

In general, electric ovens are heated by thermal radiation. The electric heating tube is heated in a closed space to generate high temperature to grill the food, and at the same time, it can also ensure a good barbecue taste. The current mainstream ovens all have the function of hot air, which can ensure the uniformity of baking.

The air fryer is heated by a combination of heat radiation and rapid circulation of air. In the air fryer, on the top of the frying basket and the ingredients, there is a heating tube like a mosquito coil, and there is a fan above the heating tube. When working, it is like a high-power hair dryer blowing hard on the ingredients until the ingredients are blown away.” Blow" cooked. And, there will be a unique pattern design on the inside of the frying basket of the air fryer, which will form a vortex heat flow when the hot air circulates, and "360° intimate contact" with the surface of the ingredients to take away the water vapor generated by heating, so that the surface of the ingredients can be taken away. It becomes crispy and golden brown to achieve the taste and appearance of fry. Because the biggest feature of the air fryer, and the reason why most people want to start it, is that the air fryer uses hot air instead of hot oil, which not only frys crispy, but also light oil and low-fat health, raising fried food to a healthy level.

(3) Function

The oven is essentially a large air fryer, and the two functions partially overlap, but are not substitutes for each other. Oven-processed recipes are also abundant, and food made with air fryers can be done in the oven. If you want to make bread, cakes, or roast a whole chicken or duck at home, you can only use the oven. If you just want to eat egg tarts, fries, chicken wings, warm bread biscuits, and deep-fried spring rolls and dumplings, then the air fryer is easier and faster.

(4) The size of energy consumption

From the point of view of energy saving, the air fryer for small household appliances of the Internet has low power, high efficiency, and is relatively energy-saving; the power of the electric oven is large, and it consumes more electricity. And the oven needs to be preheated when using, but the air fryer can heat up more quickly.
