High-speed ovens and air fryers are both popular kitchen appliances that are designed to cook food quickly and efficiently. However, there are some key differences and similarities between the two.
Similarities:
- Both appliances use hot air to cook food. The hot air is circulated around the food to ensure even cooking.
- Both appliances are designed to cook food quickly, which makes them great for busy people who don’t have a lot of time to spend in the kitchen.
- Both appliances are designed to be compact and easy to use, which makes them ideal for small kitchens or for people who don’t want to spend a lot of time cooking.
Differences:
- A high-speed oven is typically larger than an air fryer, and it can be used to cook a wider range of foods, including larger items like whole chickens or roasts.
- A high-speed oven typically uses a combination of hot air and microwave technology to cook food, whereas an air fryer only uses hot air.
- A high-speed oven can be used to cook food from frozen, whereas an air fryer requires that food be thawed before cooking.
- A high-speed oven can be used to bake and grill food, whereas an air fryer is primarily used for frying and roasting.
In summary, both high-speed ovens and air fryers are great appliances for people who want to cook food quickly and efficiently. While they share some similarities, they also have some key differences in terms of their size, cooking capabilities, and technology.
High-speed ovens heating methods
At Pratica, we’ve designed our ovens with three heating methods: microwave, impinged hot air, and infra-red heating. Práticas’s commercial high-speed ovens allow you to adjust each source of heat according to each recipe and expected result.
- Microwave: most of our high-speed ovens include microwave heating, except for Forza STi, which is designed for pizzas. Microwaves are designed to warm up the inside of the food. Microwaves work by causing vibration in water molecules, this vibration and friction at a molecular level are what causes the food to quickly warm up from within.
- Impinged air: This method reduces cooking times by firing hot puffs of air at 60 mph directly on top of cooking products, so impingement can create a browning or even melting effect on pizza, lasagna, and other dishes.
- Infra-red element: This heating process is applied to provide high-quality browning results in the bottom of the food.
