|---|---|---|
| 350°F, 20 min | 325°F | 16 min |
| 375°F, 25 min | 350°F | 20 min |
| 400°F, 15 min | 375°F | 12 min |

How the conversion works
Choose the direction and unit, enter the temperature and time from your recipe, and press Convert. Going from oven to air fryer, the temperature drops by 25°F (15°C), rounded to the nearest 5 degrees, and the time drops by 20%. Going the other way, the converter adds them back.
Tips for better results
Do not overfill the basket: hot air needs room to move. Shake or flip food halfway through, and start checking a few minutes before the time is up, because air fryers from different brands run hotter or cooler. Baked goods in a pan may need a little more time than the rule suggests.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert oven temperature to an air fryer?
Lower the temperature by about 25°F (about 15°C) and cut the cooking time by about 20%. For example, 375°F for 20 minutes in the oven becomes about 350°F for 16 minutes in an air fryer.
Why is the air fryer temperature lower?
An air fryer is a small convection oven: a fan blows hot air close to the food, so heat reaches it faster than in a regular oven. Lowering the temperature keeps the outside from browning before the inside is cooked.
What if my recipe says 450°F?
Most home air fryers go up to about 400°F (200°C). The converter caps the setting there and you should check the food a few minutes early.
Does this work for frozen food?
Use the package instructions first if they include air fryer settings. Otherwise this rule is a reasonable starting point; shake or flip halfway and check that food is hot all the way through.
