Choosing Between an Oven and an Air Fryer

Ovens and air fryers are both indispensable tools for home cooks. However, the dilemma of whether to buy an oven or an air fryer can be quite challenging for anyone due to the convenience these products offer. In this article, Super Mart will help you understand the unique features of each device that you shouldn't overlook!

Deciding Between an Oven and an Air Fryer

Oven: 

Currently, there are various types of ovens available in the market, such as tabletop ovens, built-in ovens, and glass ovens. Typically, these products feature a rectangular box-like shape, with elegant and sophisticated colors, and a front glass panel that opens and closes easily. This design allows users to easily observe the food inside and use it quickly. 

Modern Design with Many Beautiful Models

Additionally, the oven comes in a relatively large size, making it easy to prepare multiple dishes at once, meeting the dietary needs of families with several members. 

Air Fryer: 

It's a newly popular household appliance in recent years. Typically, air fryers feature a round, oval-shaped design. Along with simple pastel colors, they create a luxurious feel for any kitchen space. However, apart from the basic designs, there are also some products with incredibly outstanding, unique shapes. 

Compact Design Takes Up Minimal Space

Currently, the capacity of these devices ranges from 5L to 10L, allowing you to cook multiple dishes at once comfortably. Because air fryers usually have relatively compact sizes, they won't take up too much space in your kitchen. 

Oven: 

The product operates on the principle of resistive heating, with the ability to efficiently heat and conduct heat from the outside inwards. This helps food to cook faster, evenly on both sides, while still retaining crispiness for grilled dishes. 

Operating Principle of the Oven 

Air Fryer: This device operates on the principle of radiant heat, helping food to cook by heating the heating coil at the top and the air. The fan under the frying basket circulates hot air around the fryer at high speed, ensuring that the food is evenly crispy on both sides without the need for much oil or fat.

Operation of the Air Fryer

In terms of power, both products are quite similar. However, some specialized ovens have much higher power than air fryers.

Ovens are priced in the market ranging from 1,000,000 to 10,000,000 Vietnamese dong, depending on the functionality of each type, with prices potentially higher. As for air fryers, they tend to be cheaper, ranging from 800,000 to 3,000,000 Vietnamese dong.
