The air fryer is a kind of electric oven, but the working principles are different. The air fryer uses the hot air circulation in the pot to cook the food, and the oven uses the radiant heat emitted by the electric heating element to cook the food. The food made by air fryer is between oven and frying. It tastes a bit like something fried with a low oil temperature, but it is not so oily.

2. The degree of water locking is different from that of oil use.

The air fryer has fast hot air circulation, which can quickly lock water, and the juice in the meat will be more than that baked in the oven, and the taste will be better. The important thing is that if you choose an air fryer, you don't need to use oil when baking fried food, and there is less oil smoke and noise, which is healthier than an electric oven. The electric oven is generally an upper and lower heating tube, and food juice often drips on it when heating, which is difficult to clean. Therefore, it can also be reflected that the air fryer is much better from the point of view of cleaning degree.

3. Capacity and price

The air fryer has a small space and is not suitable for large families. Then there is the high price of air fryer. One air fryer can buy two ovens. Compared with the air fryer, the electric oven has a large capacity, can bake a whole chicken at one time, and can also process some foods, such as bread and biscuits.
