Where did the recent air fryer trend come from anyway?

No, it's not an oven. It's a convection oven, which has existed for decades but never caught on until they were rebranded as air fryers.
What's really strange to me is that every oven and every toaster oven I've ever owned has a connection setting. So people are buying these huge space-consuming appliances to do something that they can already do with what they have in their house.
Believe me, I thought the exact same thing until we were gifted one, so i get the skepticism! The convection bake setting on my oven is just not even comparable to a $75 air fryer.
As another commenter posted, air fryers use a much more intense airflow. It's nuts just how much faster and crisper things like chicken thighs and frozen snacks come out compared to the oven.
I didn't know that. Thanks for the education.
