Air Fryer Conversion Tips

The General Rule

Reduce oven temperature by 20°C (about 25°F) and reduce cooking time by 20%. Air fryers circulate hot air intensely, cooking faster and often giving a crispier result than oven cooking.

Don't Overcrowd

The biggest air fryer mistake is overcrowding. A single layer with space around each item is essential — overfill the basket and you're effectively steaming food rather than air frying it. Cook in batches if needed.

Check Early

All air fryers are different. Check your food 5 minutes before the calculated end time, especially on your first try with a new recipe or a new air fryer model.
