The air fryer cooks time depends on multiple factors, from the type and quantity of food to the cooking temperature. In most instances, the fryer will have a shorter cook time in a conventional oven. Luckily, the air fryer comes with a pause button, which you can use to check for doneness and to flip or shake the food.
🧅 Why It Works
Almost any recipe that calls for an oven can be adapted to make them air fryer recipes. The air fryer circulates hot air, which cooks food faster compared to a conventional oven. Always cook in a single layer to allow the fan inside the fryer to cook up crispy and not soggy.
Even better, the it is excellent at achieving the finger-licking crispiness we’re all craving with just a small amount of oil vs the deep fried foods. It’s definitely a healthier way to enjoy crispy food!
🥩 How Do I Convert Oven Temperature to Air Fryer Temperature?
The basic formula for converting a recipe from oven to air fryer is to reduce the cooking temperature by 25°F and the cooking time by 20%.
I recommend you check for doneness half way and adjust the cooking time if needed.
Our printable oven to air fryer conversion sheet offers the temperatures and cooking times for various popular foods so you can skip the math and start prepping your favorite traditional oven recipes.

One of the best ways to enjoy chicken meat that’s crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside is cooking it in the air fryer.

Air Fryer Frozen Curly Fries Recipe
❗ Expert Tips
Using an air fryer may not be rocket science, but you still need to pay attention to a few things.
Always check your manual that came with the machine if you have deeper questions.
Preheating the air fryer is definitely one of them. Some air fryers advertise no preheating is required. That can work for recipes with longer cooking times, but anything under 10 minutes will come out better if you preheat your air fryer.
It takes about 3 minutes to preheat it. I would say it’s totally worth the effort.
The air fryer will crisp up food way better if you add a little bit of oil. Spraying or brushing it is the best way to ensure an even coating while keeping the oil amount to a minimum.
One thing that can have a big impact on the total cooking time is how much food you put in the air fryer basket. The hot air needs space to circulate, so don’t overcrowd it. When air frying, it’s better to cook food in batches.
Otherwise you will need to check for doneness often and/or flip the food at least once to ensure it cooks evenly.
Keep mess to a minimum and use liners or parchment paper.
If your fryer has different modes of cooking, make sure you press the Air Fry setting.
