Most new full-size ovens or slide-in ranges now come with an air fry feature, however, if you are used to using a small countertop air fryer you’ll need to alter your cooking times and temperatures somewhat for this larger appliance.

WHAT IS AN AIR FRY RANGE?
An air fry range is a full-size range that combines the functions of an oven and an air fryer. It allows you to bake, broil, and roast food, as well as air fry using hot air circulation technology for air frying. With an air fry range, you can enjoy healthier versions of your favorite fried foods without the need for a separate air fryer.
The air fry technology in the full-size range helps to cook food quickly and evenly for the entire family while reducing the amount of oil needed for frying. This makes it a popular appliance for those who want a healthier alternative to a traditional deep fryer or need to reduce unhealthy fats from their diet.
Kitchen ranges with air fry come in different sizes, colors, styles, and brands, but they all typically need a separate Some models may have additional features such as convection cooking, multiple cooking racks, or built-in temperature probes for precise cooking.

AIR FRY RANGE COOKING TIMES
When preparing frozen foods in the air fry range the cooking times are usually 5-8 minutes less than conventional baking, and the results are also crispier and resemble the “fried” food we love.
When cooking raw meat in the air fry range I highly recommend using adigital meat thermometer. Some ranges come with them, if not there are inexpensive options available onAmazon.
Cooking times for meat will depend on the minimum safe internal temperatures recommended byfood safety guidelines.
Please remember every appliance is different and may cook differently. Use these cooking times and temperatures as a guide.
HOW TO AIR FRY FROZEN FOOD
One of the easiest and most family-friendly ways to use the Air Fry Range is for frozen foods. Start by selecting the air fry function and setting the temperature. Next, allow the oven to preheat for a few minutes. Next, place the desired amount of food on the air fry tray or air fryer basket in a single layer. Be sure not to overcrowd the food. Se Some food may require to be flipped or shaken about halfway through the cook time for an even golden crispy texture.
Typically when choosing an Air Fry temperature and cooking time I will refer to the package instructions. Some brands now list air frying instructions on the package directions. As a rule of thumb, I usually keep the temperature setting the same or less by 25°. Cooking times will be longer compared to the small countertop appliance but shorter cooking process than preparing multiple small batches or baking conventionally in a standard oven.
TIPS FOR AIR FRYING
When learning to use the air fryer function on the full-size range watch the food closely the first time you prepare something. Some appliances’ air fry functions cook faster around the edges and food will need to be rotated or moved to avoid burning. I recommend keeping a notebook or cheat sheet close by when experimenting with air-frying new recipes. The cooking times and temperatures listed have been tested multiple times but still should be used as a close estimate. Keep in mind the air frying time and temperatures may vary by specific brands and kitchen appliances.
AIR FRYING VS. CONVECTION
A convection oven cooks with a fan that continually circulates hot air around the oven to produce a more even and consistent cooking temperature. A true convection oven will have three heating elements one on top and bottom and one around the fan. I have personally had an electric convection oven for the past ten years and I really enjoyed the convection cooking. Convection cooking or (hot air circulation) results in faster and more evenly cooked food. Most new Samsung ranges now offer conventional bake, convection bake, and air fry functions.
Air frying uses convection technology and a high-speed fan that has been “souped” up. When air frying in the Samsung oven you are cooking with a specialized convection setting designed with superheated air and a higher-speed fan. No need for deep frying, air frying gives us a healthier way to achieve the delicious crispy foods we love without all the excess fat and oil.
FASTER COOKING
With powerful heat and convection fans in the new air fry mode, you’ll use significantly less oil and spend less time making your favorite recipes for your family all at once instead of standing over a small air fryer cooking in batches. The gas version offers a 5-burner cooktop offers a triple ring burner with a rapid boil putting out 18,000 BTUs and the electric version offers a triple burner and warmer burner. The Smartthings cooking app easily monitors and controls your range using your phone.
PROS & CONS
If you’re considering upgrading from a countertop air fryer to a full-size range with air fry you might be asking if it’s really worth the investment. If you are not in the market for a new oven or range it probably doesn’t make sense to upgrade, however, if you are in need of a new appliance like I was it is totally worth the investment.
