What is the Air Fryer Converter?
The air fryer converter takes the oven temperature and time from any recipe and gives you the equivalent air fryer setting. Because an air fryer is a small convection oven, it cooks hotter and faster — so you lower the temperature by about 15 °C (25 °F) and cut the time by roughly 20%. It’s ideal for anyone adapting baking, roasting or reheating instructions to an air fryer without guesswork, and it works in both Fahrenheit and Celsius.
How to use the Air Fryer Converter
- 1 Enter the oven temperature and time from your recipe.
- 2 Pick the food type (and tick “from frozen” if it applies).
- 3 Read the suggested air fryer temperature and time.
- 4 Shake or check the food at the “check at” time and adjust if needed.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert oven temperature to an air fryer? +
Lower the oven temperature by about 25 °F (15 °C) and reduce the cooking time by roughly 20%. This calculator does both for you and shows when to check or shake the food.
Do all foods convert the same way? +
No — that’s why this tool has a food-type picker. Dense roasts need a smaller temperature drop, fish and baked goods need gentler timing, and cooking from frozen needs more time. Pick the closest food type for a better estimate.
How accurate are the results? +
The figures come from standard, tested references (USDA FoodData Central and King Arthur Baking) and are excellent starting points. Ovens, ingredients and equipment vary, so treat the numbers as a reliable guide and adjust to taste and doneness.
Is this calculator free, and does it send my data anywhere? +
Yes — it’s completely free and runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you type is uploaded or stored on a server; the maths happens on your device, even offline once the page has loaded.
