Convert conventional oven times and temperatures to air fryer settings for the same result.

375°F

Air fryer time

A common rule of thumb: lower the temperature by 25°F (about 20°C) and check for doneness at roughly 80% of the original time. Always verify with a thermometer for meat.

How the Air Fryer Converter works

Enter your recipe's conventional oven temperature and time. The converter applies common air fryer adjustment rules — lowering the temperature and shortening the time — to get you a starting point.

Frequently asked questions

Why do air fryers need a lower temperature?

Air fryers circulate hot air much more efficiently than conventional ovens, cooking food faster at a given temperature — so most recipes need a lower temperature and shorter time.

Does this work for all foods?

It's a reasonable starting point for most recipes, but always check for doneness — especially with meat — since air fryer models vary in power.
