The convection oven to air fryer conversion tool gives you the air frying settings (Temperature and Time) from a convection oven recipe. Since a convection oven is much closer to an air fryer in its cooking mechanism, the conversion is less drastic when compared to an oven air fryer calculator.
You can enter your convection oven recipe temperature and time, and the tool will give you the corresponding values for the air frying set-up.

Time
Reduce by 15-20% of original cooking time
Monitoring
Check and shake/flip food halfway through
The tool carry out the following calculations:
- Temperature: You may not need to change the temperature much, if at all. Many air fryer and convection oven recipes use similar temperature settings, often 20-25°F lower than a conventional oven. If you do reduce the temperature, a modest drop of about 15-20°F is a safe starting point.
- Time: The cooking time will still be shorter in an air fryer, but not as much as with a conventional oven. Start by reducing the time by 15-20%. The air fryer’s smaller size and more intense fan circulation will cook the food faster.
- Method: As with a conventional oven, shaking or flipping the food is crucial for an even cook and optimal crispiness.
