It wasn't directed at you Rusty. Just that I know some, maybe most, folks here are older...:poke:.....and my not be up on this new fangled technology.
It was worded in a pretty smart *** tone tho so for that I apologize.
So anywho baking in an oven (convection or not) is basically the same as using an air fryer.
Air fryers work quickly and very well because they only heat a small area and they are able to get that entire area HOT.
They also have superb air flow AROUND the food vs a convection oven just blowing over the top or a regular oven baking with no fan.
