Tips for Air Frying

• Preheat your air fryer: Preheating ensures even cooking and optimal results.
• Avoid overcrowding: Arrange food in a single layer for crispiness.
• Shake or flip food: For uniform cooking, shake the basket or flip the food halfway through.
• Lightly oil your food: A small amount of oil can enhance browning and flavor.
• Adjust for personal preference: Use this calculator as a starting point and adjust as needed.

Understanding the Conversion

Air fryers cook food faster due to rapid air circulation. Reducing the temperature and time prevents overcooking.

Conversion Guidelines:

• Temperature: Multiply oven temperature by 0.85.
• Time: Multiply oven cooking time by 0.75.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can all oven recipes be converted? Most recipes can be adapted, but baking delicate items may require adjustments.
• Do I need to adjust the recipe ingredients? Generally, no. Ingredients remain the same unless specified.
• Why is my food not crispy? Make sure not to overcrowd and consider adding a tiny bit of oil.

Safety Precautions

• Check food regularly: Air fryers cook quickly; keep an eye on your food to prevent burning.
• Handle with care: The basket and interior can become very hot during use.
