Cheat sheet

Quick answer

Most foods cook at 180–200 °C (355–390 °F) in an air fryer. Chicken wings take 20–25 min at 390 °F / 200 °C, salmon 12–18 min at 320–360 °F / 160–180 °C and frozen fries 22–40 min at 390 °F / 200 °C. Preheat, cook in a single layer and check meat with a thermometer.

Times and temperatures from the 250+ recipes in the AirFryer Master app. Always check meat with a thermometer.

How do I use this air fryer chart?

  • Preheat for 3–5 minutes, especially for meat, baked goods and breaded food.
  • Start at the shorter time in the range and add a few minutes if needed — every air fryer varies slightly.
  • Flip or shake where the chart says so; small pieces benefit from a shake every 5–10 minutes.
  • Check the internal temperature of meat, poultry and fish with a thermometer instead of relying on time alone.

How long do frozen foods take in an air fryer?

Cook frozen food straight from the freezer — thawing makes breaded coatings soft. Times from the app:

  • Frozen fries: 22–40 min at 390 °F / 200 °C
  • Chicken nuggets: 10–15 min at 390 °F / 200 °C
  • Mozzarella sticks: 10–13 min at 360 °F / 180 °C
  • Frozen pizza: 5–15 min at 370 °F / 190 °C
  • Spring rolls: 8–10 min at 370 °F / 190 °C

What temperature is best for reheating?

Reheat leftovers such as pizza, fried chicken and pastries at 160–180 °C (320–355 °F) for 3–5 minutes. They come out crisp instead of soggy. For pizza, a small cup of water in the basket keeps the crust from drying out.

Frequently asked questions
