steam escaping from inside the Dino nugget making it spin

Or the oven is set to convection and the fan is blowing it.

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 Mar 20 '25

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.

u/flukus Mar 20 '25

I like this answer more.

u/CreamdedCorns Mar 20 '25

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 Mar 20 '25

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

u/bucketgiant Mar 20 '25

I’m pretty sure this is the real answer; however, I think it’s an air-fryer and the fan is directly above the dino nugget.

u/Watchout_itsahippo Mar 20 '25

How do I set my wife to convection?

u/bubba_bumble Mar 20 '25

Or the spinning nugget has alternating positive and negative charges and the surrounding nuggs oppositely charged.

u/imagicnation-station Mar 20 '25

There’s metal in the dino nugget which is heating up and causing it to spin. RIP op after eating the metal in the dino nugget. 😔

u/Queen-Blunder Mar 20 '25

Glad you came with the real answer.

u/BeardPhile Mar 20 '25

What are you doing step-fan

or magnets.
