The air fryer is on another level though. As long as you give space among the food for the air to circulate it is perfection every time. A full size convection oven gives you more room of course, but the air fryer gives better results from what I can tell.

Compared to a deep fryer, I agree it's meh. But a bunch of stuff that can be deep fried still comes out great in the air fryer. Just different.
