How long, and how hot?
There is no single answer for an air fryer — it depends on your machine, the food and the portion. We collect the actual numbers from official manufacturer manuals and from USDA guidance, so you do not have to guess.
Where to start
Times and temperatures chart
Fries, chicken, fish, frozen food and safe internal temperatures — in one chart, with links to the sources.
Frozen food in the air fryer
Fries, nuggets, fish fingers and pizza straight from the freezer. We collect what manufacturers actually print on the pack, instead of an average from the internet.
Who this is for
For people cooking for one or two, who are tired of recipes written for four. Our charts and recipes are written for a small basket — 3 to 5 litres — with short ingredient lists.
We do not run a test kitchen. Every number comes from a manufacturer’s manual or from USDA FSIS guidance, and links to its source.
