About These Guides

Every guide on this site is based on the same principles used by our converter tool: reduce oven temperature by 25°F (15°C) and cooking time by 20%, then fine-tune for your specific brand. Air fryers vary significantly between brands — a Ninja Foodi runs about 10–15°F hotter than its dial shows, while an Instant Vortex tends to run slightly cooler. These differences matter for results.

We focus on the foods people actually cook most often in an air fryer, and we update our guides when we identify better techniques or brand-specific insights. If you have a recipe you'd like us to cover, use the contact page to let us know.
