Air Fryer Calculator
To convert air fryer to oven temperature use widely accepted formula Air Fryer Temperature (°F) = Oven Temperature (°F) × 0.8, when oven temperature is 400°F: Air Fryer Temperature = 400 × 0.8 = 320°F.
The calculator factors in variables like food thickness, quantity, and desired doneness to ensure optimal results.
When converting a recipe for roasted chicken breast, the air fryer to oven conversion adjust a 35-minute oven recipe at 375°F to 25 minutes at 360°F in an air fryer.

Air Fryer to Oven Formula
The formula for converting from air fryer and oven cooking is:
Temperature Conversion:
Air Fryer Temperature = Conventional Oven Temperature - (20-25°F) Time Conversion:
Air Fryer Time = Conventional Oven Time × 0.8This formula recognizes that air fryers typically require slightly lower temperatures and approximately 20% less cooking time due to their enhanced efficiency.
A recipe calls for baking at 400°F for 30 minutes in a conventional oven, you would cook at 375°F for 24 minutes in an air fryer.
How to Convert Air Fryer to Oven Temperature
- Start with the oven temperature as your baseline
- Reduce by 20-25°F for air fryer cooking
- Monitor food closely during the first attempt
Converting temperatures between these appliances requires understanding their distinct heating mechanisms. Air fryers utilize rapid air technology to create a concentrated heat environment.
To convert a 350°F oven recipe, set your air fryer to 325-330°F. This adjustment maintains food quality while preventing overcooking in the more intense air fryer environment.
- Crispy French Fries: Oven: 425°F for 30 minutes, Air Fryer: 400°F for 24 minutes
- Chicken Wings: Oven: 400°F for 45 minutes, Air Fryer: 380°F for 36 minutes
- Roasted Vegetables: Oven: 375°F for 25 minutes, Air Fryer: 355°F for 20 minutes
- Fish Fillets: Oven: 350°F for 20 minutes, Air Fryer: 330°F for 16 minutes
- Baked Cookies: Oven: 350°F for 12 minutes, Air Fryer: 325°F for 10 minutes
What is Air Fryer and Oven?
An air fryer represents modern cooking technology that employs high-speed air circulation to create a crispy exterior on foods while maintaining interior moisture. This countertop appliance uses a concentrated heating mechanism and powerful fan to distribute hot air rapidly around food in a compact chamber.
A conventional oven operates through ambient heating, warming a larger space through radiant heat from heating elements. Ovens provide more cooking space and versatility but require longer preheating times and consume more energy.
