What yummy meals will you be making with the convection oven "air fryer" hack? all products linked in the description :)
YOUR ADVICE, BASED ON EXPERIENCE IS EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED. HAVE
TOO MANY APPLIANCES IN THIS HOUSE AND BETTER QUALITY THAN TODAY'S.
Thank you so much. I’ve been wondering and considering about getting an air fryer I hear such good things about them especially when it comes to making french fries and chicken. I have a stove with a convection oven and this will be much easier since I make large portions of food. Thank you again, for such great information!!
You so helped us from buying an air fryer! We have a convection oven! So excited to try it out tonight!
if you end up wanting to use it often and you have the space an air fryer is great! I don't use it often enough so for me this works perfectly :) I use the rack all the time though I wish I got the bigger size or the one in my description where it fits into my oven better and slides in/out, good luck with the cooking!
A lot of air fryers are basically rebadged convection toasters. A real air fryer, however, does have significantly elevated airflow
Yes, that's what I do too, the only difference is I use a metal drip tray with a parchment liner to stop oil fat etc stick[ng to the drip tray, works for me. Your idea of a silicone sheet sounds good so may try that also. Thanks for the vid.
I love to cook. Convection Oven is fine. But the fan in an Air Fryer moves 2-3x faster than a standard Convection Oven/Range in a space that is 5x smaller. The hot oil circulating in the air fryer “fries” the food. It’s not perfect. But it uses less energy, cooks 30% faster, and is much easier to clean (not to mention it doesn’t heat up the Kitchen during the Summer months). Since I bought one, I use my Convection Oven/Range 70% less. Well worth the price and convenience.
100% if I had the room for one I'd definitely get one but I don't use it enough to justify it when I can use my convection oven currently.
Awesome. Thank a lot!
I have both a convection oven as well as an air fryer. What I really like about the air fryer is that it takes less power than a actual oven and it also cooks the food quicker. One of my favourite things to cook in the air fryer has to be fish. I live alone so it is perfect.
What air fryer do you have? Is it one of the basket style or the two in one toaster oven Style?
oh absolutely if you use it often, I think an air fryer is the way to go, I don't use one often enough and space is precious and an air fryer, even the smallest ones, take up quite a bit of space so this is the perfect option for me, my dad has an air fryer though and loves that thing, it's what got him into cooking tbh
@@GadgetsGearCoffee
Great info!
I just got a GE convection oven with "air fry" option. I also bought a air fry basket for it. I made chicken breasts using the air fry option w/o the basket. they came out great uniformly browned nicely and well cooked!! Next will be making homemade french fries using the basket and air fry feature. yum yum.
Great review. I love your practicality on the topic and fun presentation style. I am wondering if I need to get an air fyer. I think I can hold off on this until I explore my micowave/convection oven more.
I can't tell you what to do 😬but if I were you I would wait and see if you can live without one just fine. A few commenters disagreed with me which is fine, since they use theirs a lot and explained their reasons for it, for me personally, it's not been "necessary" to get one more appliance to manage and store.
Love it 🕺🏾
Thank you for the tips. Recently purchased a new convection range with air fry feature, had silicone mats, and used two large cooling racks (one turned perpendicular for effect. Will have to experiment...🤔
come back and update us here!
Request you to share the oven details and the experience pls!
It was helpful
Same thoughts. I have a gas oven but my microwave was very very old( a 32 years old Panasonic micro+grill that is still working as new, imagine this)
so I bought a new one, grill+micro+convection and I'm very happy with it. I saved the space of an extra appliance, the air fryer.
oh wow I didn't even know that was an option, that's a great space saver especially if it does all 3 well
can't compare, because i never had a convection oven, but i'm happy with it.
and i use a lot the crisper pan; these ferrite bottom pans are a game changer for microwave; for example i like more the fries made in crisper pan (micro+grill) than the ones done with convection.
i bought a smaller size version, Panasonic NN-CD575MEPG ( ruclips.net/video/d1MCKtyPzsk/видео.html ) , but still has a large plate - 34cm. Probably Panasonic NN-CS88LBEPG is even better, but i had no room for it.
AAWWW! Finally! So happy someone had my same experience. I have got a 22 year old 40 litre Sharp (R84STM) that is Microwave/Convection and Top and Bottom Grill, plus a tons of set programmes (pizza, jacket potatoes, fries). It was the most expensive gadget we bought at the time as we were renovating a kitchen and thus we cooked everything in it. To say that I am madly in love with this appliance is a real understatement. And in 22 years I have never used the Dual Cooking mode. But I have started now, as my thinking was: can this functions mimic the airfryer?. In short: YES. It's difficult and complex stuff, because one has got TONS of combinations possible. By adding the lowest settings of a microwave (10% and 30%) the cooking time is amazingly reduced. BIG TIME. We are talking food that is ready in less than 10 minutes. From frozen. I am still experimenting and want to explore more, but I am truly impressed. My old friend has got even a bigger place in my heart now. Certainly Sharp didn't make a profit with my purchase. But they can be really proud of their product.
Besides, the oven reaches 250 degrees Celsius and airfryers don't get that high, and pizza and bread need a very hot oven. So my suggestion is: put the money for an expensive multifunction combi microwave and problems are solved.
Thank you sharing.
Air fryer is now the 'in thing' as gift items. Imho . . . it is basically a convection oven in a more attractive packaging.
it does have its benefits I'll give you that. It's smaller, less power, faster, you can easily take the basket out and shake it mid way for cooking, easy to clean, but it takes up more room, is another appliance to manage. I have debated about getting one myself but I don't know if realistically I'd use it all that often and with limited counter space, it would be stored away making it even less convenient = less usage.
Thanks for the video ! I have the tbings you mentioned and didnt realized it is already a big air fryer 😂 i wish you couod share some cooking vlogs too even its a gadget coffee channel 😇
you sure do! air fryer is still great if you have the space for it and use it often, in my case I don't have the space for it nor use it often to justify another appliance. I do have a few videos about food related things but I unlisted them as they weren't popular but here you are ruclips.net/video/tBQKUPr54Tk/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/PdCeTnFro0s/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/ixBElI-_p6U/видео.html
what would you like to see out of curiosity? there are food youtubers that are way more qualified than me and have great content already, I don't see myself making a video unless I feel I can add value or a different spin to something, I do cook a lot and am a foodie so this does intrigue me should I find the right angle or subject

0:12 🍽 You can turn your oven into an air fryer by using an elevated rack and a nonstick silicone sheet.
1:44 🏠 Air fryers are advantageous if you don't have a convection oven, but consider space and usage limitations before purchasing one.
4:25 🌪 Convection ovens can function like air fryers with an elevated rack, promoting even cooking and crispy results.
6:23 🧽 Cleanup for a makeshift air fryer in your oven can be efficient with a nonstick silicone sheet and simple tray setup.
I would say that I have had oil annoyingly stick to my silpat mats, which I didn’t like. But I don’t mind my pana turning brown and forming a layer of oil. This is actually good as it seasons the pan and makes it more non stick, and just like cast iron and carbon steel pans, shouldn’t be washed with soap/detergent, which will make the pan sticky. Just hit it with hot water and a chain mail a scrub. Don’t worry about “bacteria” or “growth”. Next pre-heating you’ll be burning everything off anyway. Also don’t worry about that oven door getting funky either!
People who obsess over their pans etc. Looking brand new don’t realise that the seasoning not only is helpful but also shows that they’re making use of their tools. A browned pan looks great imho.
I think why everyone loves the air fryers is that they are just easier to clean and you can also put a basket full of fries for example, whereas in an oven you can't cook the same quantity of fries and "flipping" the fries is easy in an air fryer you just take the basket dump it out into something and dump it back into the basket, there are even air fryers out there that have a built in automatic rotation function (basically a bottom on the fryer that stirs the food during the cooking so you don't need to flip it
But going back to the basket style air fryers, flipping a basket full of fries you literally just take the basket, shake the fries and pop the basket back in
On an oven you can't cook that quantity of fries and flipping many fries is a nightmare with ovens. I've been there and done that never again 🤣
The reason it is called an air "fryer" is because you can use more oil than you can with a fan oven. Because of the design of the heating element, the splatter of food is contained within the basket rather than going everywhere in your oven. In an oven if oil splatters it will go to the bottom/top/sides of the oven which are burning hot and then the oil will burn and smoke up and ruin the food and foul up your house
An air fryer as the oil is contained within the basket and the heating element is far enough away with only the air coming into contact with the oil and not the burning hot oven walls, you don't get that effect
Some air fryers even have oil drips that you fill and it will release oil into the food during the cooking process. A fan oven simply doesn't do this
There are air fryers out there that are literally just mini-ovens, but the basket style air fryers, the self stirring air fryers and the ones with oil drips offer actual benefits over an oven and really are a different way of cooking that you can't do with a fan oven
that's all really great valid points! Thanks for taking the time to write that out! If I had the counter space and would use it more, I'd probably consider getting one but for my current purposes, my oven is doing the trick
Spot on comments.
I have both a countertop convection oven and a basket style air fryer. My air fryer is acting up and time for replacement. I did try to use my convection oven as an air fryer. I bought wire baskets and frankly the food took nearly twice as long to cook and I could never get as crispy as in an air fryer. So I’m wondering if it is just my oven is too weak (1500 watts) and if I should just get a new countertop convection oven with air fry setting ir another standalone air fryer.
I'm sure an air fryer does a better job since it's a much smaller appliance. I love the results I get from my convection oven though with the wire rack and haven't felt the need to get one and waste more counter space and spend more money
@@GadgetsGearCoffee😅
@@paulmuru6007 😅😅
A what temperature do you set the convection oven at to AIR FRY?
Whatever the recipe or package says usually
Could one use extra wide aluminum foil to catch oil/ drippings in place of a silicone sheet?
Yes it's just a lot less eco friendly and it might reflect more heat? , the silicone sheet is so incredibly easy to wash! Nothing sticks to it it's a fast cleaning
no, no and no... i have an air fryer, a toaster over and i did have a regular convection oven (now have a bran new one with air frying modes) in some cases some appliances is a total sham (like a toaster, the toaster oven makes better toast and uses less energy) BUT an air fryer isn't one of them.. the ovens that DO have an air fryer mode (usually its like $1k more than ones without one), the energy consumption is way WAYY more and there is more airflow (the only reason we got the that oven even tho nothing was wrong with our previous one is because the little air fryer was SO good at doing at what it does, we can now do large family meals without wasting time) it just works...
oh absolutely if you're using it often an air fryer makes sense but if you use it occasionally, it doesn't make sense to get one like in my case, but to each their own! You can get the same or similar result with a convection oven in the end
👍👍
I have a nice toaster oven, I’m going to try this !
Come back and share your experience! Did you get the rack I linked or your toaster oven comes with it?
@@GadgetsGearCoffee Watch videos about Ninja Speedy cooker. Though it is basically an airfryer but it is more capable and more versatile.
Curious how it worked for you. I also have a countertop convection oven by Oster rated 1500 watts and at full heat 450 using a wire basket I could never get as crispy as my basket style standalone Gourmia air fryer. My air fryer is acting up and really needs replacing, but not sure if I should get a new standalone one or a new countertop convection oven with at least 1700 watts power and air fry feature like most have nowadays. Mine oven still works but doesn’t have an air fryer setting so relegated to max temp on bake convection turbo on.
Thank you I was searching for way to use my oven as air fryer becouse I dont want to take it. It take space and no need for more mecheine for small family . I only have to take the mesh and give a try
do come back and let us know how that worked out!
@@GadgetsGearCoffee hello dear I try the method just know and I make sweet potato It become nice crespy from outside here what I did: bcs I still didn't take the mesh I use the oven mesh that have big halls but I only put the long potato the small will fall and I use oven tray and cover it with aluminum foil on 200c for less than 10 min . Some sides of potato look burnd don't know If I have to decrease the temp next time ?!! Thank you 🌹
The problem with using a regular convection oven which I have: it’s huge! Ridiculous to put one piece of fish in a huge oven. I’ve had an air fryer for 3 years. I use it 4 to 5 times a week and love it. If I had to choose between microwave or air fryer. The air fryer might win. I can use my induction burner for many things I used to do in the microwave . So happy I don’t have to choose !
If you use it often it and have the space for one absolutely! I debated about getting one so many times and wonder if I'd use it more if I had one or have buyer's regret.
What programme do you use in oven and at what degree?
Convection oven mode, my oven auto sets the temp by default and can be adjusted. I leave it at default
Could I use a cooling rack if I already have one?
if it's heat resistant yes! I believe that's what I have. You just need space above and below and a convection oven for this to work
I've been shopping things like that Cuisinart two-in-one or even the Breville three-in-one Combi wave. Galans has one that has been on the market in North America and Europe for years and it always gets good reviews. I know they're not as easy to clean as the basket style but I think it would be hella versatile. I have about the same amount of space as you have but it's just one room as opposed to having an island dividing a larger space (ooooolllld house). Seems like spending a couple hundred dollars on that unit would be a lot more affordable and I would use it a lot more than spending in excess of $1,000 to get a good convection oven 🤔
if you don't currently have a convection oven and you're only cooking for 1 to 2 people, an actual air fryer is great, my dad got one and uses it all the time! If I had the space for it or cooked more crispy foods, I'd consider it but it's just not something I'd use often enough.
@GadgetsGearCoffee have you looked into the three-in-one microwave / toaster oven/ air fryer? I hate throwing things away, so I keep thinking my old second-hand microwave (helping a friend move and they gifted it to me because mine was a hand-me-down from my parents and it was OOOLLLLD) is going to die, and I'm going to replace it with an all in one but it just keeps lingering on, haha
@@NoZenith fortunately/unfortunately, my place came with a microwave and it's the 2-in-1 microwave and exhaust fan, I doubt I will find a 3-in-1 microwave, exhaust, convection oven that fits over a stove top (I haven't looked since mine is fine) and I want to maximize counter space and keep things off the counter
My air fryer replaces many device and it is 32 quarts so it can do massive amounts of food. Who even uses their oven anymore? Takes too long and cost to much money and energy to heat up especially if you just want a small quick meal using an oven makes no sense. Especially when heating costs are through the roof this is a big deal. Not to mention heats up the whole house in the summer. Ovens are like VCRs they will go the way of the dodo bird. People think air fryers are new but they've been around since the 1940s. Time is precious and air fryers save time. Anything that saves time is a must have item in my book as nothing is more important that the limited time we have on this Earth. Plus you can them for fairly cheap so no reason to cheap out and end up wasting time you will never get back trying to save a few pennies. Plus no thawing or preheating in most cases. Plus some can even use delay timers and set temperature and timer automatically through an app and you can control and watch your air fryer remotely so you won't forget or burn your food. Also some will shut off automatically if you use a temperature probe and it the temperature is reached it will shut off by itself so you never burn or over cook your food. I only use my oven to store pots and pans in. With an air fryer you can cook outside or near a window so you don't have to deal with cooking smells inside your house. Some houses and many apartments don't have a real exhaust vent to the outside an only an oil vapor catch filter which isn't really good at getting rid of all the smoke and odors.
Plus anybody that has to clean an oven know it is a pain and really hard as you have to bend down and break your back. With a air fryer it is at the right level and you can move it to whatever level you want so you don't kill your back cleaning it like the oven which is often very low. You can also move it around the house and put on the dinner table if you want or in the backyard and have the family cooking and talking together more which is priceless. You can run an extension cord. You can't do that with your built in oven. You don't have to be alone in the kitchen away from everyone else. Always look at the totality and the big picture when making any decisions. I use my air fryer multiple times a day and hardly even use the microwave expect for the few occasions. Never used my oven at all. My air fryer can roast a 14lb chicken or small turkey. If you want to cook more just get air fryers. You can cook two different things at different temperatures at the same time you can't do that in one oven. Plus even with two air fryers going it is still using less electricity than an oven as it more efficient and still heating less area and cooking faster so less electricity is used.
I do, it came with my place. I don't have enough spare room to house yet another appliance :\ if I did I would, the instant pot I have already takes up way too much room
Isn't the fan in an air fryer typically much stronger than a convection oven?
I don't know about stronger but because of the small size probably is per size/volume. The idea is if you want the functionality, you can use your oven instead of getting a new appliance especially if you don't do it often. This works for me.
Skip to HOW at 3:30
I have an oven with the function convection but also air fryer, really hard to tell the difference, am i missing something here?
I do cover that in the video! 😉 The main difference is the air fryer is meant for that specific use, smaller, uses less energy, you could also shake the basket, could be easier to clean.
@@GadgetsGearCoffee Get a Ninja Speedy airfryer. It is more versatile. Or Ninja grill which is basically an airfryer.
Interesting video, I am mostly looking for healthier fries. I dont like the idea of spray oil, probably expensive and shit quality. Better put the potato in a bowl and mix it in some oil.
That would work too yep
One of the silliness video I’ve seen about the subject, for small quantities there is no comparison, an air fryer is much faster. For someone who hasn’t got an air fryer she is in no position to make such a video!
I'm all about the silliness
I have a big enough kitchen to have 2 air fryers when im cooking on my own or me n wife its quicker and perfect if you have young kids and not a lot of time, anything bigger goes in the oven
you use 2 air fryers at the same time with the same food in it? why not use the oven in those instances?
@@GadgetsGearCoffee no usually 2 different things, just quicker than preheating, my old oven takes a while, but agree an oven is fine for most people
@@SamJonesMediaHUD that's a great point you bring there, old oven VS a newer oven that may heat up faster
You could probably use parchment paper instead of the mat. You can just throw it away instead of cleaning the mat
The point of the mat is also to be less wasteful
Thanks for sharing this experience! You saved the world from "another idiot wanting an air fryer"
bruh
why dont just buy a hundred bucks air fryer and save all the trouble then ?
1. Don't need another appliance
2. Don't use it enough
No, I doing think I will 🗿
No asmr
Funny you should say that. I am getting something on pre order, so will me months, but am planning to include some light ASMR because it's quite relevant to the particular product/hobby category, stay tuned!
I don’t wanna hear u chew thx but no thx
