Tips for Converting Recipes to the Air Fryer

Don't Overcrowd

Cook in a single layer with space between pieces. Batches cook better than one packed basket — crowded food steams instead of crisping.

Shake or Flip Halfway

Turn food or shake the basket at the halfway mark so all sides meet the circulating hot air and brown evenly.

Check Early

Air fryer models vary a lot. The first time you convert a recipe, check doneness 3-5 minutes before the adjusted time is up and note what worked.

Frequently Asked Questions

Reduce the oven temperature by 25°F (about 15°C) and cut the cook time by roughly 20%. So a recipe that bakes at 400°F for 30 minutes becomes 375°F for about 24 minutes in the air fryer. Check for doneness a few minutes before the adjusted time is up.
