The "air fryer" setting on your oven is a regular convection oven. An oven.

The circle completes.

We know, Susan.

There are many upsides to an air fryer, including resurrecting leftovers and leaving a perfect crisp on certain items. Plus, one doesn’t have to wait ages to pre-heat like with the oven. Also doesn’t heat up and doesn’t stink up the whole house (e.g. with fish)—esp a plus in the summer.

Guess what Captain Obvious, my oven has Bake, Convection Bake and Air Fry modes.

That’s not wisdom, that’s obliviousness+smugness.

I’ll give it another try next time I have frozen fries or something, and I’ll try getting an air fry tray like someone mentioned above. But not off to a good start.

I haven't tried mine for vegetables or fruits but I use it for French fries and they are so good!

I have a toaster oven with air fryer setting, and I don't find it to be very good. If you want good results get a standalone air fryer.

I like it, I mainly roast vegetables, tofu, and chicken. I also use it for frozen food and to recrisp fried yuca. I actually use a baking sheet all the time because the oven is less messy.

Something we learned: take the skin off chicken or the oven gets disgusting. Skinless boneless thighs turn out great.

+1 A toaster oven with an air fryer function will give you better results than an oven with a convection or “air fryer” function, but they can’t produce anything close to what a good basket-style air fryer can achieve.

I have wanted one, but it's just another appliance in my already crowded kitchen. I think I will have to live with subpar results for the time being.

We’re happy with the air fryer function on our small Breville oven. It comes with an air fryer tray.

I'm such a kitchen appliance hater, but the air dryer earned a spot. It is completely different than convection/air fry in an oven.
