About Air Fry Calculator
How It Works
Our air fryer calculator uses scientifically proven conversion ratios to help you adapt any oven recipe for your air fryer. The magic happens through two key adjustments:
- Temperature: Reduce by 25°F (air fryers circulate hot air more efficiently)
- Time: Reduce by 20% (faster cooking due to convection)
Why These Conversions Work
Air fryers are essentially compact convection ovens. The rapid air circulation cooks food faster and more evenly than traditional ovens. Our conversion formula is based on extensive testing and cooking science principles.
Tips for Best Results
- Don't overcrowd the basket - air needs to circulate
- Check food 5 minutes early the first time you try a recipe
- Flip or shake foods halfway through cooking time
- Use a light coating of oil for crispiest results
Always use your judgment and check food doneness - cooking times may vary based on your specific air fryer model and food thickness.
