- Even, controlled cooking
Smart Cooking Tips (Astuce)
- Don’t overcrowd your air fryer basket
- Shake or flip food halfway through
- Mix fresh ingredients with processed ones
- Alternate between appliances
Final Takeaway
Air fryers are a great tool—but not a complete replacement for ovens. The healthiest and most effective approach is to use both wisely, depending on what you’re cooking.

Some dishes are better suited for ovens:
Baking dish sets
- Baking (cakes, bread)
- Large roasts
- Multi-dish meals
Air fryers simply don’t have the space or consistent heat distribution needed.
