Complete Guide to Air Fryer Temperature & Time Conversion

Air Fryer vs Oven: Key Differences

Air fryers use convection cooking, circulating hot air in a compact space. This makes them faster and crispier than conventional ovens. The general rule is to reduce oven temperature by about 20°C (35°F) and cooking time by about 20% when converting to an air fryer. Air fryers are extremely popular in Korean households, used for everything from fried chicken to roasted sweet potatoes.

Air Fryer Cooking Tips

For crispy results, lightly spray or brush food with oil. Arrange food in a single layer without overlapping for best air circulation. Shake the basket or flip food halfway through cooking for even results. Use parchment paper with holes or aluminum foil with punctures for easy cleanup without blocking airflow.

Popular Air Fryer Recipes Guide

Frozen foods like chicken nuggets and fries typically cook at 200°C for 10-15 minutes. Sweet potatoes take 25-30 minutes at 200°C for soft, caramelized centers. Pork belly needs 15-20 minutes at 200°C, flipped once for crispy skin. Dumplings are perfect at 180°C for 10-12 minutes — crispy outside, juicy inside. Fish fillets do well at 180°C for 12-18 minutes depending on thickness.
