Eating frozen chips out of an airfryer is not "cooking". Just sayin'.
"The air fryer is essentially an amped-up countertop convection oven—it doesn't actually fry your food."
Yeah..... Naaa.
I just had a cottage pie that was fried on top and it was very acceptable.
Transferred from thawed out into a ceramic bowl and the air fryer done the rest!
The top of a cottage pie was fried?
Heat reacts with the water content and cross content cooking will occur.

cook (food) in hot fat or oil, typically in a shallow pan.
"Armstrong fried a rasher of bacon, a sausage and a slice of bread"
While I'm sure they cook food well, the same as any convection oven, they clearly don't fry anything.
They are, in essence, convection ovens that've been rebranded with a catchy gimmicky name for people that don't know any better.
So they do not fry anything, they are smaller sized convection ovens,, with the food closer to the heating element which makes the food crispier than a typical sized convection oven.An air fryer is used to cook food in the same way that a convection oven does. Convection cooking uses a fan, an exhaust system to control airflow, and a heating element that work together to heat your food. An air fryer is a small, cylindrical countertop home appliance that has a vented heating basket that evenly filters in hot air. The appliance is similar in size to a coffee maker.
Convection heating applies lots of heat to the surface of your food, making it crispy, which is why air frying appears to "air fry" your food. Despite its name, an air fryer doesn't fry your food: it bakes it using convection heating. Because of the way it simulates the crispiness of fried food, air fryers are great for cooking things like french fries and chicken wings.
Air Fryer vs. Convection Oven: How Are They Different?
Air fryers and convection ovens both use convection heating to cook food evenly and quickly. However, they have a few distinct differences. Here are some of the main differences between an air fryer and a convection oven.
- Appearance: A convection oven is a rectangular box with a door in front, typically with a glass panel so that you can see inside. An air fryer is a cylindrical kitchen appliance with a removable cooking basket, and you cannot see inside of it.
- Size: Convection ovens come in different sizes, from a standard home oven size to a countertop convection toaster oven. All air fryers are always small enough to fit on a countertop, making them ideal for cooking small meals and saving on counter space.
- Frying capabilities: Because air fryers are smaller, the food is closer to the convection fan, meaning that the crisping effect is closer to that of deep frying. Convection ovens have more space, and therefore do not duplicate the crispiness of a deep fryer.

^ Yes, they're smaller, slightly differently calibrated convection ovens that don't fry a damn thing.
^ Reach through the screen Dill and bitch slap the seppo twat
^ Have you remembered yet or is that lost to history
Air Baker/ small convection oven that works slightly different to a big oven
Have you thought of asking LT if he needs someone to name his Patents?
It does actually, fry, roast, dehydrate(Mendy you plonker) broil and bake...
But yeah you can bake bread but not fry bread in it, although with the amount of bacon fat in the bottom of mine I might give it a whirl
After much deliberation, the wife and I have decided to forgo an "air fryer" and buy a medium sized convection oven. She wants to be able to traditionally bake and we want an oven that fits a full rack of ribs.
