Since they don’t technically fry… Or do they? They’re basically mini electric ovens. What’s the difference between an air fryer and an electric oven, other than size and energy consumption?

    After writing the comment, I remembered pan frying exists, so that adds a third mode :/

    Wikipedia has some conflicting info:

    Frying is the cooking of food in oil or another fat

    Frying techniques vary in the amount of fat required, the cooking time, the type of cooking vessel required, and the manipulation of the food. Sautéing, stir-frying, pan frying, shallow frying, deep frying, and air frying are all standard frying techniques.

    So I guess 0 is an amount of oil that satisfies the frying definition :D
