How it works

An air fryer is a small, powerful convection oven: a fan blows hot air close to the food, so it browns and cooks faster than a regular oven. The widely used rule is to reduce the temperature by 25 °F (about 15 °C) and the cooking time by about 20%. Lowering the temperature stops the outside browning before the inside is cooked; shortening the time accounts for the stronger airflow.

Do not overcrowd the basket — air needs to circulate. Shake fries and small pieces, or flip larger items, halfway through. For meat, rely on internal temperature rather than time.

Frequently asked questions

What is 350 °F in an air fryer?

Set the air fryer to 325 °F (165 °C) and cook about 20% less time.

What is 400 °F oven in an air fryer?

375 °F (190 °C), for about 80% of the oven time.

Do I need to preheat an air fryer?

Many models heat in 2–3 minutes; preheating helps with crispness for breaded foods and steaks. Follow your model’s manual.

Can I use oven recipes in an air fryer?
