My aunt in Fresno said my air fryer was just a small oven, and I've been mad about it for a week
She came over for dinner on Sunday and watched me pull chicken thighs out of the basket with crispy skin, and she still shrugged and said it was a tiny oven with extra steps. I pointed out that the thighs took 22 minutes with zero preheat, and a real oven would have taken 40 plus 15 minutes of waiting for it to warm up. She said the counter space it eats is not worth the tradeoff, and honestly I did not have a comeback for that part. So now I need real ammo: what do you cook in an air fryer that a big oven genuinely cannot do better?

Reheated pizza in an air fryer beats a big oven every single time. Crispy crust, melty cheese, no sad soggy middle. A regular oven dries the whole thing out or burns the top before the middle gets warm. Same deal with leftovers like fried chicken or egg rolls. The air fryer brings the crunch back in 5 minutes flat. Your aunt's wrong on this one.
