Air fryers cook food faster than conventional ovens because they use rapid air circulation technology. This means you need to adjust both temperature and cooking time when converting recipes.
For most recipes, reduce the oven temperature by 25°F (about 15°C) and cut the cooking time by 20%. This calculator does the math for you automatically.
Air fryers use a powerful fan to circulate hot air around your food, creating a convection effect. This results in faster cooking times and often crispier results compared to a traditional oven.
Always preheat your air fryer for 3-5 minutes before cooking. Avoid overcrowding the basket—air needs to circulate around the food. For even cooking, shake the basket or flip items halfway through the cooking time.
Generally, set your air fryer 25°F (15°C) lower than the oven temperature specified in your recipe. Use our calculator above for precise conversions.
Air fryers typically cook food about 20% faster than conventional ovens. A dish that takes 30 minutes in the oven usually takes about 24 minutes in an air fryer.
Yes! Preheating your air fryer for 3-5 minutes helps achieve better results, especially for foods that need to be crispy.
Most oven recipes can be adapted for air fryers. However, recipes with wet batters or very large items may not work as well. Stick to foods that fit in a single layer in your air fryer basket.
