Input & Output Definitions
Input Parameters
- Oven Temperature (°F): Original recipe baking temperature.

Worked Culinary Example
Scenario: Converting roasted vegetables: 400°F for 30 minutes in a conventional oven.
- Air fryer temperature = 400°F - 25°F = 375°F (190°C).
- Air fryer time = 30 min × 0.75 to 0.80 = 22 to 24 minutes.
Result: Cook at 375°F for 22-24 minutes, shaking halfway.
Common Kitchen Mistakes to Avoid
Overcrowding the basket
Air fryers need circulation; crowded food steams instead of crisping.
