How is an air fryer more convenient than a traditional oven?

Air fryers offer various features that make them much more convenient for daily use than a conventional oven. Firstly, they typically have a much faster preheating time, often taking just 2–3 minutes to reach the optimal cooking temperature, compared to 10–15 minutes for a standard oven. Because of the heat being concentrated in a much smaller space, users are still able to create high-quality meals without sacrificing quality and at a fraction of the time.

Air fryers come with Preset cooking programs that adjust the temperature and timer for standard dishes, eliminating the guesswork, making it much less intimidating to use for those that are inexperienced in cooking to achieve consistent, reliable results. In comparison towards a traditional oven users have to manually set up the temperature and kitchen timer increasing the chances for error from users.

Air fryers are also small and portable as opposed to ovens, making them ideal for many situations such as home kitchens, workspaces and camping trips. They’re much easier to clean, as most air fryer baskets and pans are removable and of a much smaller size as well as easily being fitted with paper liners.
