When you deep fry something, it gets extra crispy because submerging something in hot oil sucks out a lot of water very fast.

Air fryers emulate this effect by blowing hot air through the food, which removes more water faster than just baking it in an oven. Even a convection oven will not have the same effect-because of scale, fan speed, and the baking tray blocking half the air

A common misconception is that AD stands for After Death, meaning after the death of Christ, but it actually stands for Anno Domini, a Latin phrase that translates to "the year of our Lord". Thus, Christ was born in the year 1 AD. He died in the year 33 AD. Though his actual birthday was April 6, not December 25.
