When to Convert
Understanding which foods convert best from air fryer to oven
Perfect for Conversion
Thin items like fries, nuggets, and wings convert cleanly with the +25°F and ÷0.8 rule. These foods work great in both appliances.
Needs Extra Care
Large roasts or dense bakes need time adjustments over higher heat. Always verify internal temperature with a thermometer. Convection ovens behave closer to air fryers (+10–15°F and ×1.1–1.2× time).
Conversion Guidelines
Follow these guidelines for successful air fryer to oven conversions
Temperature Safety
Use a thermometer for safety: poultry 165°F/74°C; pork 145°F/63°C; ground beef/sausage 160°F/71°C; salmon ~125°F/52°C.
Oven Setup
Oven preheating and rack position affect results. Middle rack is a safe default for even heat distribution.
Spacing Tips
Sheet pans crowd easily—space food for airflow and rotate once if needed for even browning.
Sweet Marinades
For sugary marinades, watch for browning and reduce temperature by 10–15°F to prevent burning.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about air fryer to oven conversions
Do I always add 25°F?
It's a rule of thumb. Thin items may only need +15–20°F; thick roasts can need a bit more time instead of more heat.
Is the time exactly ×1.25?
Start with 1.25× then check earlier. Ovens heat slower and lose heat when opened.
What about convection ovens?
Convection is closer to an air fryer. You may only need +10–15°F and ×1.1–1.2× time.
How do I handle sugary marinades?
Reduce oven temp 10–15°F and monitor earlier to avoid burning.
