Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate are the conversion results?

Our calculator uses industry-standard conversion ratios based on air fryer cooking principles. However, results may vary depending on your specific air fryer model, food type, and personal preferences. Always check food regularly during cooking.

Do I need to preheat my air fryer?

Most air fryers benefit from 2-3 minutes of preheating. This is already factored into our time calculations, but check your air fryer manual for specific recommendations.

Can I convert any oven recipe?

Most oven recipes can be converted, but some dishes work better than others. Foods that benefit from circulating hot air (like roasted vegetables, chicken, chips) work excellently. Wet batters and very delicate items may need adjustments.

Why is the air fryer temperature lower than the oven?

Air fryers circulate hot air more efficiently than conventional ovens, creating faster, more even cooking. This allows for lower temperatures while achieving the same or better results.

How much energy does an air fryer save?

Air fryers typically use 50-70% less energy than conventional ovens. Use our integrated energy calculators below to see potential savings for your household.
