Oven Temperature to Air Fryer Temperature
Use this Air Fryer Temp Conversion Chart as a quick starting point when you want to convert an oven recipe to the air fryer. For most recipes, use 90% of the oven temperature and 80% of the cooking time. If the converted temperature exceeds your air fryer’s max temperature, use the max temperature and add a little extra cook time.
| Oven Temperature | Calculated Air Fryer Temperature | If Your Air Fryer Maxes at 400°F | If Your Air Fryer Maxes at 450°F |
|---|---|---|---|
| 250°F | 225°F | 225°F | 225°F |
| 275°F | 250°F | 250°F | 250°F |
| 300°F | 270°F | 270°F | 270°F |
| 325°F | 295°F | 295°F | 295°F |
| 350°F | 315°F | 315°F | 315°F |
| 375°F | 340°F | 340°F | 340°F |
| 400°F | 360°F | 360°F | 360°F |
| 425°F | 385°F | 385°F | 385°F |
| 450°F | 405°F | 400°F, plus 1-2 minutes | 405°F |
| 475°F | 430°F | 400°F, plus 2-4 minutes | 430°F |

How to Convert Oven Recipes to the Air Fryer
- Multiply the oven temperature by 90%, then round to the nearest 5°F.
- Multiply the oven cook time by 80%.
- If the calculated temperature is higher than your air fryer’s max temperature, use the max temperature instead.
- When the calculated air fryer temperature exceeds your appliance’s maximum, add 1-2 minutes for every 20°F above the maximum.
- Preheat the air fryer when the recipe needs quick browning or a crisp exterior.
- Cook in a single layer when possible so the hot air can circulate.
- Check the food early the first time you convert a recipe.
For example, if an oven recipe says to cook at 375°F for 30 minutes, start with 340°F in the air fryer for about 24 minutes. If an oven recipe says to cook at 500°F for 60 minutes and your air fryer only goes to 400°F, cook at 400°F for about 51 to 54 minutes.
