Convert oven temperature and cooking time to air fryer settings for perfect results.
Enter the oven temperature and cooking time from the original recipe, then calculate the suggested air-fryer temperature and earlier check time.
Air fryers vary by basket size, wattage and airflow, so food should be checked before the calculated finish time.
An air fryer moves hot air rapidly around a relatively small cooking chamber, so food often browns faster than in a conventional oven. The calculator reduces the original oven settings to give an earlier checking point, but there is no single conversion that suits every machine, food thickness or basket load.
Start checking before the suggested finish time, especially for small portions or a powerful preheated appliance. A crowded basket can take longer because air cannot circulate as freely. Turning or shaking food part-way through can improve even cooking. For meat, poultry and other foods where internal temperature matters, use appropriate food-safety guidance and a thermometer rather than judging doneness from colour or this timing estimate alone.
