Air Fryer Minutes
This is a starting point, not a guarantee. Air fryer models vary significantly in power and airflow, and food thickness, quantity, and whether it's arranged in a single layer all affect actual cook time. Always check for doneness rather than relying on time alone — use a food thermometer for meat and poultry (165°F for poultry, 145°F with a rest for whole cuts, 160°F for ground meat, per USDA guidance).
Common questions
What is the rule for converting oven recipes to an air fryer?
Reduce the oven temperature by about 25°F (roughly 15-20°C) and reduce the cooking time by about 20%, since air fryers circulate hot air more efficiently than a conventional oven.
Is this conversion exact?
No — it's a starting point. Always check for doneness rather than relying on time alone, and use a food thermometer for meat and poultry.
