Air Fryer Conversion Chart for Australian Ovens

If you want the short answer, a decent starting point is usually 20°C lower and about 20% less time than a standard oven recipe.

The catch is that air fryers run hot and small, so they cook faster but they also punish overconfidence. If you just copy the oven recipe blindly, you can turn dinner into dry disappointment pretty quickly.

Quick examples

• 200°C for 30 mins in the oven becomes roughly 180°C for 24 mins
• 180°C for 25 mins becomes roughly 160°C for 20 mins
• 220°C for 20 mins becomes roughly 200°C for 16 mins

What still matters

Food thickness matters more than internet charts. Chips, wings and frozen snacks are forgiving. Thick chicken breasts, sausages and pastries are less forgiving.

Bottom line

Use the lower temp and shorter time as your starting point, then check early. The calculator is there to stop the guesswork.
