The electronic air fryer uses high-speed air circulation technology to cook food with hot air instead of oil, achieving a similar taste to deep-frying. Conventional ovens, on the other hand, use radiant heat from electric heating elements to bake food, which takes longer to cook, but the food tastes better. Therefore, when it comes to cooking principles, there are significant differences between the two.
Since electronic air fryer does not require a lot of oil, it helps reduce fat intake and is healthier for people who pursue a low-fat diet. Although the oven can bake delicious food, the fat content may be relatively high. However, an oven is better at preserving the original flavor and nutrients of food during the cooking process.
The capacity of an electronic air fryer is relatively small, which makes it suitable for small batches of food preparation and not suitable for large families. Traditional ovens have a larger capacity and can bake a whole chicken or process a variety of foods at one time, such as bread, pizza, etc.
Traditional ovens have more comprehensive functions. In addition to baking, they can also be used for a variety of cooking methods such as baking and thawing. The main function of the electronic air fryer is to focus on fast cooking and small batch food preparation.
The electronic air fryer heats up quickly and is easy to operate, making it suitable for busy office workers or people who need fast food. Although the oven takes a long time to preheat, once preheated it cooks food consistently and steadily.
Under the same usage time, the power consumption of electronic air fryer is generally lower than that of traditional oven, which is more energy-efficient.
Electronic air fryer and traditional oven each have their own advantages and disadvantages and cannot be simply replaced by each other. The cooking tools you choose depend on your eating habits, kitchen space, and cooking needs.
