What's the difference between an oven and an air fryer?

2023-03-26

The differences are: different kinds, different volumes, different time, different heating methods, different experience, different cleaning difficulties, different people, different principles.

An air fryer can't cook as much food as an oven. Desserts like cheesecake, bread, cloth, etc., can only be baked in the oven.

Air fryers are small and easy to store, and the oven is almost always set up and never moves again. There is limited space inside the air fryer for dishes.

Air fryers take much less time than some ovens do, and they not only increase efficiency but also save a lot of power.

Oven heating:
The principle is heating in a confined space. The heating source is done through a heating tube. The air fryer uses a rapid heating device, which can accelerate the circulation of hot air.

Sense of experience:
Air fryers are easy to use, usually do not need long preheating, directly put the ingredients in proportion to the fryer, can be out of the pot in dozens of minutes, very suitable for lazy people and office workers, but if the oven baking, it will take a long time. Air fryers produce ingredients that are less oily and healthier to eat.

Cleaning difficulty:
Air fryers are easy to clean, generally take out the bottom of the pot to clean; 

Applicable group:
Air fryers are suitable for small or small population families or people living alone. Ovens are suitable for people who have a lot of space at home or those who love baking.

Principle:
The principle of air fryer is to replace the hot oil in the frying pan with air, and heat it by convection similar to the hot air of the sun, so that the hot air forms a rapid circulation of heat flow in the closed pan, so that the food becomes cooked. At the same time, the hot air also blows away the water on the surface of the food, so that the food can achieve the effect of frying without rolling oil. Electric oven is the use of electric heating element emitted radiant heat to bake food. Ovens and air fryers taste different because of how they work.


Oven introduction:

An oven is a sealed electrical appliance used to bake food or dry products. It is divided into household appliances and industrial ovens. A home oven can be used to process some pasta. Industrial oven, a kind of equipment used for drying products in industry, electric, gas, also called oven, drying box, etc. Electric oven is the use of electric heating elements emitted radiant heat to bake food electric appliances, using it we can make roast chicken, roast duck, bake bread, pastry and so on. 

According to the different needs of baking food, the temperature of the electric oven can be adjusted in the range of 50-250℃. A good electric oven should be well sealed so as to reduce heat loss. The oven door is mostly opened from the top down, so carefully test the degree of lubrication of the door. The door should not be too tight, otherwise it is easy to burn people when it is opened forcefully; It can not be too loose to prevent accidental shedding during use. And the electric oven inside the barbecue plate, barbecue rack more, the better.


Introduction to Air Fryers:

An air fryer is a cooking tool. The principle is to replace the hot oil in the frying pan with air, and heat it by convection similar to the hot air of the sun. The hot air forms a rapid circulation of heat flow in the closed pan, so that the food becomes cooked. At the same time, the hot air also blows away the water on the surface of the food, so that the food can achieve the effect of frying without rolling oil. 


Air is used to replace the hot oil in the frying pan, and convective heating similar to the hot air of the sun is used to form a rapid circulating heat flow in the closed pan, so that the food becomes cooked. The hot air also blows moisture away from the surface of the food, making it nearly fried without boiling it in oil.
