How do I convert an oven recipe to an air fryer?

The standard rule is to lower the temperature by about 20°C (25°F) and reduce the cooking time by roughly 20%. This calculator applies both adjustments for you, but always check food a few minutes early.

Why does the air fryer use a lower temperature?

An air fryer circulates hot air far more efficiently than a conventional oven, so the same browning happens at a lower set temperature and in less time.

Air fryers cook faster and more efficiently than a conventional oven, so most recipes need two adjustments: lower the temperature by about 20°C (25°F) and cut the cooking time by roughly 20%.

Enter the temperature and time from any oven recipe and this calculator returns the air fryer settings instantly. Because models vary, always check your food a few minutes early and adjust to taste.
