Where did the recent air fryer trend come from anyway? (startrek.website)

Air fryers have fans to keep the air circulating. That makes the food cook very differently than a traditional oven. It's more like a convection oven, but with even more airflow.

Also the food is off the floor on a rack or grate while being easy to clean.

Is your oven from the 70s? Even our old oven from the 80s has convection.

Not sure how that's even relevant. I didn't say anything that even mentioned what kind of oven I have. I was just comparing traditional ovens vs convection ovens vs air frying.
