Tape this to the fridge. One table for temperatures, one for times, and the entire conversion fits on a single page. Find your oven setting, read across, and cook.
Air fryer temperature equals oven temperature minus 25 F (15 C): 350 F becomes 325 F, 400 F becomes 375 F, and 425 F becomes 400 F. Air fryer time equals oven time times 0.8: 30 minutes becomes 24, 20 becomes 16, and 45 becomes 36. Check food a few minutes early the first time.

How to read this chart
The temperature table converts the heat; the time table converts the duration. Use both: a recipe is only converted when the temperature and the time have each been adjusted. Times are starting points, so check a few minutes early the first time you convert any recipe, exactly as the calculator on the front page recommends.
Temperature conversion table
| Oven | Air fryer | Oven (C) | Air fryer (C) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 275 F | 250 F | 140 C | 125 C |
| 300 F | 275 F | 150 C | 135 C |
| 325 F | 300 F | 165 C | 150 C |
| 350 F | 325 F | 175 C | 160 C |
| 375 F | 350 F | 190 C | 175 C |
| 400 F | 375 F | 200 C | 185 C |
| 425 F | 400 F | 220 C | 205 C |
| 450 F | 425 F | 230 C | 215 C |
Fahrenheit: subtract 25. Celsius: subtract 15. Values rounded to the nearest 5 degrees to match typical air fryer dials.
Time conversion table
| Oven time | Air fryer time |
|---|---|
| 10 minutes | 8 minutes |
| 12 minutes | about 10 minutes |
| 15 minutes | 12 minutes |
| 20 minutes | 16 minutes |
| 25 minutes | 20 minutes |
| 30 minutes | 24 minutes |
| 35 minutes | 28 minutes |
| 45 minutes | 36 minutes |
| 60 minutes | 48 minutes |
Multiply oven minutes by 0.8. For times not listed, the calculator does the arithmetic.
Adjustments the chart does not show
Three situations need tweaks beyond the tables. Food cooked from frozen adds 2 to 4 minutes over the converted time, because the chart assumes thawed food. Very thick cuts do better 25 degrees below the chart temperature with time added back, finished with a thermometer. Delicate batters and custards often should not be converted at all; the air fryer's airflow sets their outsides too fast.
Everything else, fries through roasted vegetables, tracks these tables closely. When a converted recipe comes out perfect, jot down what your machine actually needed; air fryers vary, and your own notes beat any chart after the first cook.
Chart plus frozen foods
Frozen food is the chart's most common real-world use, and it needs one extra rule: after converting, add 2 to 4 minutes. Frozen fries with an oven instruction of 425 F for 20 minutes convert to 400 F for 16 minutes, then gain a few for the freeze, landing at 18 to 20 minutes in practice. Frozen nuggets at an oven 400 F for 12 minutes convert to 375 F for about 10 minutes, plus the frozen bonus for 12 to 14.
The bonus shrinks for small items and grows for dense ones. Thin fries need only 2 extra minutes; thick chicken breasts from frozen can need 4 or 5. There is no thawing step either way: the air fryer handles frozen food directly, which is one of its genuine advantages over the oven.
Saving and printing the chart
This page is designed to print cleanly on one sheet: use your browser's print function and the two tables above become a fridge-ready reference. If you prefer the interactive version, the air fryer conversion calculator on the front page does the same arithmetic for any temperature and time you type in, including a quick-reference table of common foods.
One more habit makes the chart twice as useful: the first time you convert a favorite recipe, write your machine's actual result next to the chart value. Most air fryers run a little hot or a little cool, and after a dozen recipes your annotated chart will be more accurate for your kitchen than any generic table.
Frequently asked questions
What is the air fryer equivalent of 350 degrees?
325 F. Subtract 25 degrees from the oven temperature. A 350 F oven recipe for 30 minutes becomes 325 F for 24 minutes in the air fryer.
What is 400 F converted to air fryer temperature?
375 F. And the time gets multiplied by 0.8: 20 oven minutes become 16 air fryer minutes.
Is there a printable air fryer conversion chart?
This page is built to print: the temperature table covers 275 F through 450 F (140 C through 230 C) and the time table covers 10 through 60 minutes. Use your browser's print function for a one-page copy.
How do you convert Celsius to air fryer temperature?
Subtract 15 degrees Celsius. A 200 C oven setting becomes 185 C in the air fryer, and 180 C becomes 165 C.
Do all foods use the same conversion?
The starting point is the same for everything, but frozen foods need 2 to 4 extra minutes, thick cuts want a lower temperature with more time, and wet batters and custards convert poorly.
