Air Fryer Cooking Chart — Times and Temperatures

Most air fryer foods cook between 180-200°C (355-400°F). Use this chart as a fast starting point, then open the food-specific guide when thickness, frozen state, or doneness matters.

How to Use the Chart

Start with the low end of the range the first time you cook a food. Add 1-2 minutes only after checking texture or internal temperature. Single-layer cooking is assumed. If food overlaps, the chart becomes less reliable because hidden surfaces steam instead of brown.

Use a thermometer for meat and seafood. Poultry should reach 74°C (165°F). Ground meat should reach 71°C (160°F). Whole-cut beef, pork, fish, and shellfish should reach 63°C (145°F), with a 3-minute rest for whole cuts of pork and beef.

Quick Decision Checklist

Use the rule only after answering three questions: does the food need airflow, does it need a safe internal temperature, and will the surface burn before the center is ready? Those three checks prevent most air fryer mistakes.

If airflow matters, keep the basket loose. If safety matters, use a thermometer. If the surface can burn, lower the temperature and add time instead of trying to force the cook faster.

For recipe conversion, start with the calculator, then compare the result with a food-specific guide. The calculator gives the math; the food guide catches practical exceptions such as frozen centers, breaded coatings, sugary glazes, and thick cuts.
