Conversion Tips

🌡️ Temperature Rule

Reduce oven temperature by 20°C (25°F) for air fryer cooking. The circulating air cooks more efficiently.

⏱️ Time Adjustment

Reduce cooking time by 20-25%. Start checking food 5 minutes before the converted time.

🔄 Turn & Shake

Turn or shake food halfway through cooking for even browning and crispiness.

🌡️ Use a Thermometer

For meat, always check internal temperature to ensure food safety and perfect doneness.
