Since they don’t technically fry… Or do they? They’re basically mini electric ovens. What’s the difference between an air fryer and an electric oven, other than size and energy consumption?

When the term first came out, I assumed from pure speculation, there was a little tray you add oil to, and it would control temperature so as to lightly aerosolize the oil thereby “deep frying” but only with enough oil to do the job while also not letting it combust. If this is possible, and I don’t think such control is, then it sounds like a useful kitchen appliance. Instead I got got by marketing 😡
You are supposed to spray oil onto the food to get the effect you are talking about. Have you not been doing that?
Oil is used for cooking specifically because it does not do such things under designated operating temperature
