Oven to air fryer conversion guide

Air fryers circulate hot air faster than conventional ovens, so food typically cooks at a slightly lower temperature and in less time. Use this converter as a starting point and adjust for your model and food type.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you convert oven to air fryer?
A common rule is to reduce oven temperature by about 25°F (≈15°C) and cook for roughly 80% of the oven time. Always check food early.
Does this work for all recipes?
It is a starting point. Dense foods, batter coatings, and large batches may need adjustments. Shake or turn food halfway when possible.
Can I convert microwave recipes?
Microwave times do not map 1:1. Our microwave mode provides a conservative starting estimate — watch closely and adjust.
