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:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

And it moves way more air than a normal oven, thus removing water vapor faster. This water vapor that partly steams the food, resulting in moisture saturated air that in turn prevents more moisture from escaping, is the main difference between a frying pan and an oven. A deep fryer replaces the water with oil, an air fryer just extracts the water quicker. Both prevent the food from cooking in water or steam, resulting in a crispy texture.
The past three houses I've lived in have had convection ovens; I thought convection mode was fairly common by now.
Every place I've ever rented has had the cheapest possible electric coil stove with no features, some of them didn't even have a "clean" setting.
Oh, yeah. It's been a long while since I've lived in that environment. You're probably right that most cheap stand-alone stovetop/oven units don't have a convection setting.
