Air Fryer Cooking Time and Temp chart to use as a guide. Please feel free to print and use it. I hope you will find it helpful. The link to download the high-resolution printable cheat sheet is located below. You will also find an Airfryer calculator. It helps convert oven temps to air fryer temps.
Which Air Fryer
- I built this time and temp guide based on cooking in 3 different air fryers. The air fryers that I use:
- Cuisinart Air fryer oven.
- Ninja Foodi.
- Instant Air fryer.
How accurate are these times and temps?
Although I'm confident that my chart is pretty accurate, please remember that the suggested times and temp may not work for "All" fryers. The frying times and temps can depend on a model, how loaded the basket with food is, and the end result that you like. I found what works for me, based on my experience, I record my own times. I suggest that you do the same.
For example, chicken wings in my Air fryer take 20-22 minutes (Flipping halfway), but chicken breast could be way less, depending on the thickness. I recommend setting the timers and recording your own times, so you can open your fryer and check on the food. Once you have all times recorded for your favorite foods, you will become an Air fryer pro!
AIR FRYER TIPS
1. It is very important to flip most food halfway through the cooking process. I recommend setting the timer. Once the timer beeps, I would physically open the air fryer and flip each piece on the other side. This step is important for flipping most meats and veggies to ensure even cooking.
2. Do not overcrowd the air fryer. I recommend always fry your food in a single layer of the air fryer basket or tray. This is also to ensure crisp and even cooking.
3. Pre-heat your air fryer. This basically means to run the air fryer empty. And preheating only takes a minute or two. Once the air fryer ran for a minute or two, pop the tray with the food right in.
Air fryer accessories
May I recommend these favorite and useful air fryer accessories? They make the cooking process easier and more enjoyable.
Silicone muffin cups, ramekins, or egg rings. They are oven and air fryer up to 450 degrees and are great for cooking sunny side up eggs, muffins, pancakes, etc.
Food silicone brush. I love to use this brush for even distribution of oil and spices over the food.
Oil sprayer. Spraying lightly the food with oil spray is one of the keys to crispy food. This oil sprayer is refillable with your favorite oil.
Silicone tongs. I find them useful for flipping the food in the air fryer.
Silicone spatula/turner. I find this very useful when flipping multiple small food pieces at once. For example, these garlic chips.
Air fryer parchment paper. these 200+ precut air fryer parchment paper sheets make cleaning air fryer easier and leave it mess-free.
Silicone mitts. I use these multiple times a day and find them very useful when taking the hot tray out of the air fryer.

I am new to an air fryer and see some recipes that say to put in a pan or dish. Do you have to have special ones, designed for an air fryer or can you use something like a corningware dish or a silicone pan?
Irina
HI Mary,
Yes, you can put a Corningware dish or a silicone pan in the air fryer. You can put the same cookware that you put in the oven. Must be oven safe up to 400 or 450F
Martina
Thank you these tips and information is very useful to me having just bought one and somewhat overwhelmed with where to start!
Irina
