Why are air fryers called air fryers? - eviltoast

Since they don’t technically fry… Or do they? They’re basically mini electric ovens. What’s the difference between an air fryer and an electric oven, other than size and energy consumption?

    In the convection oven, by the time the fries are crisped, they are dry

    Put them in a colander, give them a good rinse under the kitchen tap to get them wet all over, then tip onto a tray and into a preheated oven at 200°C for 10 minutes. Arguably better as leftovers than originally.
