Why yo my dino nuggets spinning?

This is the real answer and it explains why the others are pushed to the outside, because the fan is in the middle and blows straight down. Air fryers have similar functionality

Aren't most convection fans at the rear of the oven? They don't spin fast enough to push food this hard and are generally low speed fans. It's just there to circulate the air to keep a more consistent temperature and not strong enough to blow food around.

Also none of the crumbs are moving/blowing around. Steam wouldnt generate that much force for any period of time. Steam escaping tends to lead to bursting.

Normal convection ovens yeah, but you can tell this is more like a countertop appliance, so maybe it's a shitty air fryer than tries to make up for it with extra aggressive fanning

It's definitely not steam spinning it, because a) we'd see the steam and b) nuggets don't have skin capable of containing/directing that much steam. They're pureed chicken with a breadcrumb coating, the steam would escape in all directions equally

Also as they said, it explains why the others are on the outer perimeter, while the only one spinning is dead center. That would be a big coincidence if it were steam doing it

I didn't even consider this would be a countertop appliance, that changes my assessment entirely. I just saw the nugget spinning and didn't consider the rest of the video and that this might not be a traditional oven

All air fryers literally only work because of aggressive fanning. They are literally just small convection ovens with a LOT of convection.

An air fryer without a fan would just be a toaster oven

The answer can really be as simple as a malfunctioning or poorly designed toaster oven.

[u/GaptistePlayer → u/MrFluffyThing]

Some have the fan right over the top. I had an air fryer like that.

Alternatively, the other dinos got into a circle to hype up the spinning dino as he shows off his moves.

I like this answer more.

It's because this is a toaster oven with a convection function, commonly marketed as "Air Fry". A conventional oven would have the fan at the back.

[u/WookieDavid → u/_Kramerica_]

Air fryers have the exact same functionality, they're nothing more than convection ovens in a different form factor.
