<p>Air frying has become a very popular way of preparing foods over the recent years as homeowners attempt to find healthier ways of making their fried favorites. Many air fryer recipes have gone viral as homeowners discover new and tasty ways of eating the foods they love. So, when it comes to air frying vs deep frying, how do they compare?&nbsp;</p>
<p>Below, we explain what an air fryer appliance is and what the difference is between an air fryer and a deep fryer. We will also talk about air fryers that are built into oven ranges and explain why these appliances are beneficial and worth the purchase. Finally, we will showcase three high-quality oven ranges from reputable brands (LG, GE, and Samsung) that have built-in air fryers.&nbsp;</p>
<h2><a id="what"></a>What is an Air Fryer?</h2>
<p>An air fryer is basically a small version of a convection oven that can conveniently sit on even the smallest of countertops. Unlike deep fryers that require multiple cups of oil for frying, air fryers can efficiently fry foods with just hot air and a small amount of oil rubbed directly on the foods to be fried. This makes air fryers a healthier frying appliance compared to deep fryers.</p>
<p>Standard air fryers feature a pull-out basket that foods can be fried in, although there are larger models of air fryers where foods can be fried on a rack. Air fryers do not require much attention as foods are frying, but they can burn foods easily if they are left in the air fryer for too long.</p>
<h2><a id="vs"></a>Air Fry vs Deep Fry</h2>
<p>Are you wondering what the better frying method is between air fry vs deep fry? Here are a few differences between these two cooking methods.&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Air Fry vs Deep Fry: What is Healthier?</h3>
<p>To fry foods in a traditional deep fryer, multiple cups of oil are needed to get the job done. Eating fried foods that have been cooking in such a large amount of oil is not as healthy as what an air fryer offers. Air fryers can fry foods just as well with just a tablespoon of oil in most cases, making them the healthier frying appliance alternative.</p>
<h3>Air Fry vs Deep Fry: What Tastes Better?</h3>
<p>Unlike deep fried foods, air fried foods tend to have a crunchier texture. Because less oil is used when air frying foods, these foods are more likely to taste better overall than deep fried foods. For those who like fried foods but don&rsquo;t like the fried batter taste that comes with some fried foods, the air fryer offers a tastier alternative.</p>
<h3>Air Fry vs Deep Fry: What is More Cost Effective?</h3>
<p>Standard air fryers and deep fryers cost about the same. The main cost difference comes from how much oil is required for each fry session. As we mentioned earlier, a deep fryer needs multiple cups of oil to be used whereas an air fryer can fry foods without any oil; a small amount is usually brushed on foods for better results.</p>
<h3>Air Fry vs Deep Fry: Which Saves the Most Time?</h3>
<p>Deep fryers require more preparation time as the oil has to heat up to the proper temperature. Foods that are going to be fried must be coated in batter and then paid close attention to as they are frying. The benefit of deep fryers is that once foods are in the oil, they only take three to five minutes or so to fry.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Air fryers, on the other hand, need to preheat before being used (unless it&rsquo;s a built-in no-preheat air fryer in an oven like the ones we&rsquo;ll mention below). Once preheated, it usually takes about 10 to 20 minutes for foods to be properly air fried, but it does depend on the type of food.</p>
<h2><a id="built"></a>Air Fryers Built into Oven Ranges</h2>
<p><img alt="Front view of an LG 30&rdquo; electric range with air fry " src="https://d6y5eqdcxq8w3.cloudfront.net/assets/blog/blog_appliances/texas-appliance-air-fry-button.jpeg" width="600" /></p>
<p>Rather than taking up extra counter space with an air fryer appliance, there are now innovative oven ranges that include built-in air fryers. Foods can be fried inside the oven quickly (no preheat needed) and efficiently. Most oven ranges do not require special trays or baskets to air fry like traditional air fryers do.&nbsp;</p>
<p>If you are convinced by now that air frying is the way to go and are curious about oven ranges with built-in air fryers, we have got you covered. Below are three top-rated oven ranges from reputable brands like LG, GE, and Samsung, that include built-in air fryers.</p>
