"air-frying" はどんな揚げかたなのでしょうか？ "air-frying"、"air frying"､ "air-fry" のいずれのONELOOK検索でも引っ掛かりませんでしたが、Redirected from Air fryとしてWikipediaのConvection ovenの項 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convection_oven) に次の説明がありました。（冒頭の箇所のみ引用）

A convection oven (also known as a fan-assisted oven or simply a fan oven) is an oven that has fans to circulate air around food to create an evenly heated environment. The increased air circulation causes a fan-assisted oven to cook food faster than a conventional non-fan oven, which relies only on natural convection to circulate the hot air. Fan-assisted convection ovens are commonly used for baking as well as non-food, industrial applications. Small countertop convection ovens for household use are often marketed as air fryers.
