Convert 180°C Oven to Air Fryer

Convert oven temperature and time to air fryer settings (or back), using the standard −25°F/−15°C, 20-25% less time rule of thumb, plus a lookup table for common foods.

Both the converter and the food table are a widely-used rule of thumb, not exact science: air fryer baskets, wattage and fan strength vary by model, and food density changes how fast heat gets in. Check the food a few minutes before the estimated time the first time you try it. This tool doesn't convert recipe measurements — for cups, grams and ingredient-aware baking math, see this site's cooking measurement converter; for plain °F/°C math beyond cooking, see the temperature converter.

This page opens the air fryer converter preset for a 180°C oven recipe, set to convert oven → air fryer, using Celsius throughout. With the standard −15°C rule of thumb, 180°C becomes about 165°C in an air fryer — enter your recipe's oven time in minutes and the calculator returns a time range at roughly 75-80% of that.

180°C (350°F) is one of the most common European oven temperatures, used for everything from roasted vegetables to traybakes and casseroles, which is why it gets its own metric preset here rather than forcing a Fahrenheit conversion first — most of the world bakes in Celsius, and this tool keeps both units native.

The −15°C figure is the Celsius version of the same 25°F rule of thumb (25°F is close to 14°C, rounded to a clean 15°C for this scale), not a separately researched number — so it carries the same honest caveat: a starting point to check a few minutes early, not a guarantee for your exact air fryer.

Accepted Formats & Rules

Two-way conversion: oven → air fryer and air fryer → oven, in Fahrenheit or Celsius.
Time shown as a range (75-80% of the source time), not a single misleading number.
Built-in food lookup: frozen fries, chicken wings, chicken breast, salmon and roasted vegetables with typical air fryer temperature and time.

Key Benefits

✓ Converts either direction — oven recipe to air fryer, or air fryer setting back to a conventional oven — using the standard −25°F (−15°C) temperature drop and 20-25% shorter time rule of thumb.

✓ A separate common-food lookup gives direct air fryer settings for fries, wings, chicken breast, salmon and vegetables — no conversion math, just realistic published-style numbers.

✓ Runs entirely in your browser: enter °F or °C, get a time range instead of one falsely precise number, and a clear reminder to check the food a few minutes early the first time.

Use Cases

• Convert an oven recipe's 400°F/25 min into an air fryer setting using the standard −25°F, 20-25% less time rule, instead of guessing.
• Turn an air fryer time you found online back into a conventional oven setting when your air fryer basket is too small for the batch.
• Skip the math entirely for common foods like frozen fries or chicken wings using the built-in direct air fryer temperature and time lookup.
