    I’ve considered one if those as well; convection heat does make a difference, though, and that’d be nice to have. It seems to me that convection is the thing that turns a toaster oven into an air fryer.

      They definitely cook different! Right tool for the job, and ideally my next toaster oven will do both.

      I find my air fryer is great for crispy anything. However in my use it’s been almost exclusively for veggies: fries, broccoli, zuchini, onion rings it’s impossible to beat. Really any dish that’s traditionally deep fried, its great.

      Doing small batches of bacon, chicken wings, breads, small desserts, reheating last night’s pizza, those are prime candidates for my toaster oven. Air fried chicken wings and baked potatoes never give me the right texture.
