Small countertop convection ovens for household use are often marketed as air fryers. Fan-assisted convection ovens are commonly used for baking as well as non-food, industrial applications. The increased air circulation causes a fan-assisted oven to cook food faster than a conventional non-fan oven, which relies only on natural convection to circulate the hot air. An industrial convection oven used in the aircraft manufacturing industryĪ convection oven (also known as a fan-assisted oven or simply a fan oven) is an oven that has fans to circulate air around food to create an evenly heated environment. Flipping the gridiron would raise the meat closer to the main heat source. For slower cooking, the gridiron here has been reversed to place the meat low and far from the main heat source (at the top of the pot), although near the heat of the glass pot's bottom.
