How do I convert oven temperature to air fryer?

Lower the oven temperature by about 25°F, or roughly 15°C, when you move a recipe to an air fryer. The air fryer moves hot air fast, so it cooks more aggressively at the same number. So a 400°F oven recipe becomes about 375°F in the air fryer. Always check the food before the timer ends.

How much should I reduce the cooking time?

Cut the time by about 20 percent as a starting point, then check early. A dish that takes 30 minutes in the oven often needs around 24 minutes in an air fryer, but smaller baskets, crowding and different models all change this. Checking a few minutes before the estimate is the safest habit.

No, and no air-fryer conversion can be. The lower-temperature, less-time rule is a reliable starting point, not a guarantee, because models, basket sizes and how full the basket is all matter. Treat the result as guidance, check the food as it cooks, and note what worked for next time.
