Why lower temperature and time?
Air fryers move hot air directly around the food, so they often cook faster than conventional ovens. A practical approach is to start a bit lower and shorter, then adjust.
This tool uses common rules of thumb. It cannot guarantee food safety, so always check doneness.

Guide
Use this converter when an oven recipe needs a quick air-fryer starting point for both temperature and time.
How to use it
- Enter the original oven temperature and cooking time from the recipe.
- Choose the preset that best matches how aggressively your air fryer cooks.
- Start with the converted setting, then check early because basket size and airflow vary by model.
How to read the result
Treat the result as a starting range, not a guarantee. Temperature usually drops and time usually shortens, but food size and breading can change the final setting.
What to watch for
Crowded baskets, sugary marinades, and thin coatings brown faster. For first runs, inspect a few minutes early instead of relying on the full converted time.
FAQ
What is the basic oven to air fryer conversion rule?
A common rule of thumb is to lower the temperature a bit and reduce the cooking time, then check early the first time.
Can I use it for fan / convection oven recipes?
Yes. If your recipe already uses a fan/convection temperature, turn on the fan/convection option to use a smaller temperature reduction.
How early should I check?
As a guideline, check 2–5 minutes earlier the first time. It depends on your model and the food size.
Does it work for cakes and delicate baking?
Results vary a lot. Try the gentle preset and check early to avoid over-browning.
What does the shareable URL save?
It saves your inputs and settings (temperature, time, preset). It is not meant for sending personal data.
