Air Fryer Conversion Calculator

Turn any oven recipe into air fryer time and temperature, free of charge


Almost every oven recipe works in the air fryer with two small changes: drop the temperature by 25 degrees Fahrenheit (15 Celsius) and cook for about 80 percent of the time. Enter your oven recipe below and this air fryer converter does the rest.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert 350 F oven to air fryer?

Subtract 25 degrees, so 350 F becomes 325 F in the air fryer, then multiply the oven time by 0.8. A 20-minute oven recipe at 350 F becomes about 325 F for 16 minutes. Check a few minutes early the first time.

Do you reduce time in an air fryer?

Yes. The circulating hot air cooks faster, so most oven recipes need about 20 percent less time in the air fryer, along with the 25-degree temperature drop. Shake or flip the food halfway for even browning.

Do I need to preheat an air fryer?

A short preheat of 3 to 5 minutes helps for most foods, though it is not required. If your model preheats itself, you can skip it and add a minute to the cook time.
