Where did the recent air fryer trend come from anyway?

No, it's not an oven. It's a convection oven, which has existed for decades but never caught on until they were rebranded as air fryers.
It's not just a convection oven, it's a particularly small convection oven. Due to the size, the air blows faster and the heat requires less energy. It's absolutely brilliant for certain applications and it should be recognized as such.
I will never reheat fries in anything else.
I reheat everything in it. Fried rice, tacos, burgers, pizza... All shit the microwave would turn into soggy much comes out of the air fryer like it was fresh made or sometimes better.
Air fryer hotdogs are incredible.
Those too, I threw some precooked brats in the other day for lunch.... Better lunch than I deserved in ten minutes.
Yes! People have little patience to know the difference and the effects when they already know it's just an oven.
