How do you convert air fryer settings to an oven?
The AirCook model adds 20°C for a conventional oven or 10°C for a fan oven. Dividing the time by 0.8 makes it 25% longer: 24 minutes becomes 30 minutes. Adding 20% does not reverse a 20% reduction.
For baking, add 25°C or 15°C and divide the time by 0.85. For frozen food and snacks, divide by 0.75. Temperature is rounded to 5°C and time to the nearest minute. This reverses the AirCook model before rounding and caps; it is not a universal rule for every appliance.
The result is a starting point. Your appliance, baking dish, portion size and ingredient thickness affect cooking. Converting in both directions may not recover the original values.
Frequently asked questions
What is 180°C in an air fryer in an oven?
For generic food, the model gives 200°C in a conventional oven or 190°C in a fan oven. A 20-minute air fryer recipe becomes approximately 25 minutes in the oven.
Does the time include preheating?
No. The result is the cooking time after preheating the oven as the recipe requires.
Can every air fryer recipe be made in the oven?
Not always with the same result. Air circulation, dish size and portions affect crispness and cooking time. Check food early on your first attempt.
