Air Fryer Recipes

Air fryer questions

Can you cook air fryer recipes in the oven?

Yes. As a rough guide, add about 20°C to the air fryer temperature and roughly 5–10 extra minutes in a fan oven. Spread food in a single layer on a tray and turn it halfway so it still crisps.

How do I convert an oven recipe for the air fryer?

Drop the temperature by around 20°C and cut the cooking time by about a fifth to a quarter. Cook in a single layer, shake or turn halfway, and start checking early the first time you make it.

Do you need to preheat an air fryer?

For most things a 2–3 minute preheat helps, especially chips, chicken and anything you want crisp. For longer bakes and casserole-style dishes it makes very little difference.

Can you cook air fryer recipes in a slow cooker?

Only the saucy ones. Stews, curries and pulled meats convert well — roughly 6–8 hours on Low — but anything that relies on crisping, like chips or breaded food, won't work in a slow cooker.
