Air fryer setting
That temperature is above your air fryer's maximum, so we capped it and added 10% to the time to compensate.
The 25°F / 20% rule is a widely used convention, not a measured physical constant. We have not tested it in a lab, and no air fryer we know of has been calibrated against it. Treat the result as a starting point and check your food. How we know what we know.
The air fryer to oven rule
Going the other way reverses the same relationship. A conventional oven has no fan driving air onto the food, so it needs to run hotter and for longer to achieve the same result.
Oven temp = air fryer temp + 25°F · Oven time = air fryer time × 1.25
Example. An air fryer recipe of 375°F for 16 minutes becomes 400°F for 20 minutes in the oven.

Common questions
Can you cook air fryer food in a regular oven?
Yes. Raise the temperature by 25°F and increase the time by about 25%. Use a wire rack over a baking tray so air can reach the underside of the food.
Will it be as crispy in the oven?
Not quite. You can get close by using a wire rack instead of a solid tray, positioning the food in the upper third of the oven, and turning on the convection setting if you have one.
What oven setting is closest to an air fryer?
Convection bake, sometimes labelled fan bake or fan-forced, is the closest equivalent. If you use convection, add only 15°F rather than 25°F.
What is 350°F in an air fryer in oven terms?
Set a conventional oven to 375°F and add 25% to the time. What takes 20 minutes at 350°F in the air fryer takes about 25 minutes in the oven. Use a rack over the tray so air reaches underneath.
What is 375°F in an air fryer in oven terms?
Set a conventional oven to 400°F and add 25% to the time. What takes 20 minutes at 375°F in the air fryer takes about 25 minutes in the oven. Use a rack over the tray so air reaches underneath.
What is 400°F in an air fryer in oven terms?
Set a conventional oven to 425°F and add 25% to the time. What takes 20 minutes at 400°F in the air fryer takes about 25 minutes in the oven. Use a rack over the tray so air reaches underneath.
What is 425°F in an air fryer in oven terms?
Set a conventional oven to 450°F and add 25% to the time. What takes 20 minutes at 425°F in the air fryer takes about 25 minutes in the oven. Use a rack over the tray so air reaches underneath.
