How to Convert Oven Temperature and Time to Air Fryer
An air fryer is a compact chamber with a powerful fan, so it cooks faster than a full-size oven. To convert an oven recipe to an air fryer, adjust three things.
1. Reduce the temperature by 25°F
Lower the oven temperature by 25°F (about 15°C). Baked goods can take a slightly bigger reduction of 30°F (20°C).
2. Reduce the cooking time by 20%
Multiply the oven time by 0.8. A 30 minute recipe becomes 24 minutes. Vegetables and frozen food can go closer to 25%.
3. Don't overcrowd the basket
Hot air needs room to circulate. Cook in a single layer, in batches if needed, and shake or flip halfway.
Air Fryer vs Oven: Cooking Time and Temperature
Air fryer vs oven cooking time comes down to airflow. The fan moves hot air over the food, so an air fryer runs about 25°F cooler and about 20% faster than a conventional oven. Air fryer to oven conversion is the reverse: raise the temperature by 25°F and add about 25% to the time.
Chicken, Salmon and Fries: Oven to Air Fryer by Food
Example conversions using the same rule. Every air fryer differs, so check early.
| Food | Oven recipe | Air fryer |
|---|---|---|
| Chicken breast | 400°F, 25 min | 375°F, 20 min |
| Chicken wings | 425°F, 40 min | 400°F, 32 min |
| Chicken thighs | 425°F, 35 min | 400°F, 28 min |
| Salmon | 400°F, 12 min | 375°F, 10 min |
| Steak | 450°F, 10 min | 400°F max, 8 min |
| Pork chops | 400°F, 25 min | 375°F, 20 min |
| Potato wedges | 425°F, 30 min | 400°F, 23 min |
| Frozen pizza | 425°F, 15 min | 400°F, 11 min |
Air Fryer Cooking Times for Frozen Food
| Frozen food | Temperature | Time |
|---|---|---|
| French fries (1 lb) | 400°F (205°C) | 15 min |
| Chicken nuggets (1 lb) | 400°F (205°C) | 12 min |
| Fish sticks (1 lb) | 400°F (205°C) | 10 min |
| Burger patties (¼ lb) | 360°F (180°C) | 11 min |
| Corn dogs (4) | 370°F (190°C) | 10 min |
Safe internal temperatures: poultry 165°F (74°C), ground meat 160°F (71°C), pork and fish 145°F (63°C).
Air Fryer Conversion FAQ
How do I convert an oven recipe to an air fryer?
Reduce the oven temperature by 25°F (15°C) and cut the cooking time by 20%. Check early and add time in 2 to 3 minute steps.
What temperature is 350 or 400 in an air fryer?
A 350°F oven becomes about 325°F (165°C), and a 400°F oven becomes about 375°F (185 to 190°C). Most air fryers max out at 400°F (200°C).
How much faster does an air fryer cook than an oven?
About 20% faster. A 30 minute oven recipe takes about 24 minutes in an air fryer.
How do I convert 180°C or 200°C oven temperatures?
A 180°C oven becomes about 165°C, and a 200°C oven becomes about 185°C. See the Celsius chart above.
How do I convert a fan or convection oven to an air fryer?
A fan oven already moves air, and an air fryer works like a small convection oven. Start with the standard reduction and check 3 to 5 minutes early.
How do I convert an air fryer recipe to the oven?
Raise the temperature by 25°F (15°C) and add about 25% to the time. Choose "Air fryer to oven" in the calculator.
