Tips for air frying oven recipes

An air fryer is essentially a small, powerful convection oven. Hot air circulates quickly around the food, so it cooks faster and more evenly than a conventional oven. As a rule of thumb, drop the temperature by about 20°C (25°F) and the time by about 20%, then check early.

A few practical notes: don't overcrowd the basket, air needs to flow around each piece; shake or flip food halfway through; and use a little oil on items you want crisp. Delicate or very wet batters don't transfer well, but roasted vegetables, chicken, fries and reheated leftovers are ideal. For oven temperature conversions on their own, see our oven temperature chart.
