Who on earth called it an “air fryer”!?

Who on earth called it an “air fryer”!?
1. It doesn't fry air
2. It doesn't fry anything at all
3. The thing is basically a small convection oven with slightly more powerful fans.

I really love my Frittenfön but I refuse to call it air fryer.

@schokopuddingg Frittenfön is fantastic, that should be the official/standard german name for it

[wakame@tech.lgbt]

@follpvosten @schokopuddingg

But that would make the thing it föns a Frittat, which is by definition a thing that has been fried.

[follpvosten@karp.lol]

@wakame @schokopuddingg well, like the word that starts with T and ends with itten, you can buy Tiefkühlfritten

[bat@social.treehouse.systems]

@schokopuddingg u get similar results as with a fryer but air instead of oil think its p reasonable and good marketing also

[wakame@tech.lgbt]

@follpvosten @schokopuddingg

This should go on a shirt:

Do you like my

@schokopuddingg@chaos.social counterargument: wouldn't that mean a fridge is just an inverted oven

[twinkle@sweet.succubi.services]

@schokopuddingg@chaos.social

• it moves heat via convection
• therefore, it's an oven

[alyx@fedi.shorks.gay]

@schokopuddingg we call it a wind cooker

[twinkle@sweet.succubi.services]

@schokopuddingg@chaos.social home heaters are an oven. air conditioners are an oven. your pc is an oven.

YOUR SKIN IS AN OVEN

@schokopuddingg well, there's air.

[strifel@chaos.social]

@schokopuddingg I started calling it a Kompaktkonvektomat a few months ago
