This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

It's a small convection oven. Most ovens are not convection ovens, they're fan ovens or gas ovens. The biggest downside to both of them is that what you're mostly heating up is empty space.

I can practically fill my air fryer with enough food for one person. Clearly more efficient.

Also because of the small size it heats up basically instantly, none of this preheating the oven for 45 minutes before you can cook anything.

As far as I understand the nomenclature, fan ovens are convection ovens.

The difference is between normal ovens with top and bottom heating elements and a fan that moves the air around on one hand and a real convection oven that has a heating element in front of the fan on the other.
