Both Air Fry and convection use all the elements, burners, and the convection fan. Convection is more gradual than Air Fry and is intended for multi-rack baking and roasting.

Convection can be used for all kinds of foods, sometimes even more than one food at a time!   Air Fry works differently than normal convection cooking. The convection element in Air Fry ranges is more than twice as powerful as a standard convection element.

The oven control’s program for Air Fry is specifically designed for fried foods. Air Fry gets hot really fast. When you put your food in the oven, the hot air works the way hot oil does while frying: by completely surrounding the food with intense, flowing heat.   

These differences allow Air Fry to make and circulate superheated air that’s hotter sooner. Air Fry is intended for single rack cooking, so that hot air can circulate all around the food for the crunchiest results, especially when using our Air Fry Tray!
