Frequently asked questions
How do I convert oven temperature to air fryer?
Lower the oven temperature by about 25 F. An air fryer circulates hot air more efficiently, so 400 F in the oven becomes roughly 375 F in the air fryer.
How much less time does an air fryer take?
Plan on cutting the cook time by around 20 percent. A dish that bakes for 20 minutes in the oven is usually done in about 16 minutes in an air fryer.
Why do I still need to check food early?
Air fryers vary by model and basket size, and food near the heating element cooks fast. Treat the result as a starting point and check a few minutes before the timer ends.
Do I need to preheat the air fryer?
Many recipes work without preheating, but a 2 to 3 minute preheat helps with crisping. If your recipe assumed a preheated oven, preheat the air fryer too.
Can I use my own reduction values?
Yes. The calculator defaults to a 25 F drop and a 20 percent time cut, but you can set your own values to match how your specific air fryer behaves.
