While air fryers are excellent for quick, small meals and snacks, an oven is a much better option when you need to cook larger quantities of food due to its spacious interior allowing you to fit full-sized roasting trays, as well as providing space for larger items such as Pizzas or large meat items, that may not fit in a conventional basket. An oven is also ideal for batch cooking as you can cook several components of a meal at once, such as a roast, vegetables, and baked dessert, without needing to wait for one item to finish before starting another.Additionally, ovens offer consistent, even heating throughout the entire space, which may allow for a more consistent quality cook.
