Decreasing the recipe temperature by 25 degrees is recommended when cooking in a convection oven versus a traditional oven or bake setting. Convection ovens do not normally come with any special accessories, although some manufacturers sell crisper trays to mimic air frying.
Its fan can be turned off to bake like a traditional oven, which is ideal for more delicate tasks like cookies and cake. The convection setting works in tandem with a fan that is usually located in the back of the oven. Food is placed on a perforated tray, usually inside of an an air fryer basket, which promotes more air circulation for the crispiest results.Ī convection oven works like an oven with heating elements on the top and bottom. It preheats quickly and starts cooking food right away. Its heating elements are typically located on the top of the unit and paired with a large fan. First off, what is an air fryer?Īn air fryer is an appliance that cooks food quickly with little to no oil. Most convection ovens now even offer an air fry setting, which often uses a unique heating system with a larger and faster fan. While it does work more powerfully than a plain bake settings, air frying is designed to be the most powerful. They rarely have any heating elements on the bottom unless they offer more functionality like true toasting or baking.Ĭonvection ovens use an oven’s built in heating mechanism to heat and blow air around with a fan that’s often located on the back or side of the oven.
Air fryers typically cook from the top down and are paired with a large fan that’s located on the top of the appliance. While both air frying and convection baking both use fans to blow around hot air to cook foods faster and make them crispier, the way they’re designed is different. In the Good Housekeeping Institute, we get asked this question all the time: “Isn’t air frying the same as convection baking?” As a team that has been testing air fryers for almost a decade, developed numerous recipes for them and uses them almost daily, we can assure you that air frying is similar to convection baking - but ultimately different.
