Frequently asked questions
Set your air fryer to 375°F. The general rule is to reduce oven temperature by 25°F for air fryer cooking.
Air fry for about 24 minutes (30 × 0.8). Reduce oven time by 20% and check for doneness a few minutes early.
Use 350°F in a conventional oven with about 15% more cooking time. Convection ovens are more efficient due to air circulation.
Most recipes work, but large roasts, wet batters and very delicate baked goods may not convert well. The air fryer works best for foods that benefit from crispiness.
Convection cooking is typically 15-25% faster than conventional. The fan circulates hot air around the food for more even and efficient heating.
