True, Air fryers are simply countertop convection ovens, but the form factor makes “ovening” stuff way easier and appealing. The fact that I don’t have to bend over, mess around with big hot trays or racks, heat up and clean a big-ass oven for two potatoes, or any 1-2 serving size dishes makes baking a couple of potatoes appealing again.
The air “fryer” moniker is a marketing stroke of genius.
BTW, baked potatoes are trivial easy to make in a microwave, and can be given a toasty finish if you have a microwave/grill combo.
An asphalt fact, rather. Asphalt facts have lower modulus, so they are more adaptable to the point of the conversation.
