What this tool does
An air fryer is a small fan oven, and the widely used rule of thumb is twenty degrees cooler for about twenty percent less time — the strong airflow and small cavity do the rest. It is a starting point, not a guarantee: baskets vary, and a full basket behaves like a much bigger oven. Check early the first time you convert a recipe, and use a thermometer for meat.
Formula
temperature − 20 °C ; time × (1 − reduction)
