You guys did it wrong, you're using a baking pan instead of basket. The pan has to have holes underneath for the air to convect around the food. Notice that the air fryer basket has it and that's why food is crispier. I call this contest null and void due to improper use.

My range does not have an "Air Fry" feature, but it is a convection oven. I put an oven liner on the bottom shelf. I use a wire cooling rack, and arrange the food on that, and place it on the middle rack. It seems to work very well. The oven liner keeps anything that might drip, from hitting the oven floor.

Try with a basket, not a solid bottom pan, oven results will be much better.

You would get much better results in the oven if you place a wire rack on a baking sheet and place the food onto the wire rack. Most air fry recipes call for flipping the food halfway into the cooking time. The wire rack eliminates that needless step in the process.

How can I get temperature and time chart for range oven with air fryer option? Or recipes with time and temperature

Just starting to use air fry feature in my new GE oven. Great video.

I just got the fridgidaire Gallery range and it has an air fryer setting(convection), and it work great. I bought the special basket rack idk what it's Technical name is, but it's work great. I've used it without that rack just on a baking sheet and it has also worked. idk what people are doing wrong.

Intended to buy new range oven. Good analysis helps me to buy one with or without air fryer. Thanks a lot

We just ordered the GE range with the air fryer option. We currently don’t own a table top unit due to limited kitchen space. This was very informative & I look forward to getting the new range! I’ll be using a open rack/pan to get the best results!

Does the bib come with the air fryer? I love it.

[MCastle.]

I have a Frigidaire oven that has air fryer setting. Love it!!! My meats & poultry come out awesome. Not a fan of fries or wings in there. Trying different recipes, pans, and temp. for those 2.

Just got a new oven with a built in Air Fryer, what a learning curve from our counter top air fryer, had to order the air fryer basket as the oven didn’t come with it, now I have to find an cookie sheet bigger than the basket, haven’t yet but got creative with tinfoil, first thing I tried was bacon, about halfway through cooking the smoke alarm was going off and had to open windows and point a fan at one window to exhaust the smoke out! Lol
Next was wings, got more creative with tinfoil and made an extension under the cookie sheet, that was a success. What I found clean up with the oven is worse at least with the bacon, in short we use the counter top unit for small things and the oven for big things.

I didn't know that ovens can come with an air fry feature. Good to know, Thank You for the comparison test.

[slow_Jo]

maybe you should leave the testing for America's Test Kitchen 😆

Lovin' the oversized bib! - Great review!

If you are using a regular pan in the oven you still need to flip half way

[AquaStevae]

Not only did you use the completely wrong pan for air frying in the oven, as you need a basket, not a pan, but you also could have raised the temp on the oven to make it cook faster and crispier. It's a larger space, thus you should use higher temps. This has been discussed on so many forums. So I call BS on this comparison, as you guys didn't do your homework ahead of time.

[bgable]

So, I am not able to find a GOOD explanation on what the oven is doing differently while Air Frying than it would do if you where using the Convection mode. I'm sure the both use the fan, but, I don't see anything different on the ovens which offer both. Anyone have knowledge on the two different modes which sets them apart from one another?

[Freesingskills]

question--have you rated the gas range for air frying, since all countertop versions are electric? also, the two testers were influencing each other. i think next time they should test separately. great idea. i just bought the GE GAS range with air fryer. havent tried it yet.
