Air Fryer Cooking Times Chart: The Complete Guide for 50+ Foods
Your quick-reference cooking times and temperatures for proteins, vegetables, frozen foods, baked goods, and snacks. Bookmark this page and never overcook (or undercook) again.
Master Air Fryer Cooking Times Chart
This chart covers 50+ of the most commonly air-fried foods, organized into five categories. All times assume a standard 1400-1700W air fryer with food arranged in a single layer. If you're cooking multiple layers or a very full batch, add 2-3 minutes.
Select a category tab below to jump to the food group you need. Every entry includes the recommended temperature, cooking time range, and practical tips.
| Food | Temp | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Chicken Breast (boneless) | 370°F | 12-15 min |
| Chicken Thighs (bone-in) | 380°F | 18-22 min |
| Chicken Wings | 380°F | 20-25 min |
| Chicken Tenders | 360°F | 8-10 min |
| Salmon Fillet | 350°F | 8-10 min |
| Shrimp | 350°F | 5-7 min |
| Pork Chops (1" thick) | 360°F | 12-14 min |
| Steak (1" thick) | 360°F | 10-14 min |
| Hamburger Patties | 360°F | 8-10 min |
| Fish Fillets (cod, tilapia) | 350°F | 8-10 min |
| Turkey Breast (sliced) | 350°F | 8-10 min |
| Bacon | 350°F | 5-8 min |
Glass Air Fryer Tip: Glass air fryers retain heat more evenly than metal baskets, so you may find foods cook 1-2 minutes faster. The transparent bowl also lets you check doneness without opening the lid and losing heat.
Temperature Conversion Reference
If your air fryer displays in Celsius or you're following a recipe from another country, use this quick conversion table for the most common air fryer temperatures.
| Fahrenheit | Celsius | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| 250°F | 120°C | Dehydrating, hard-boiled eggs |
| 300°F | 150°C | Delicate items, kale chips |
| 320°F | 160°C | Baked goods, cookies, muffins |
| 340°F | 170°C | Toast, donuts, garlic bread |
| 350°F | 175°C | Most common temp - vegetables, fish, snacks |
| 360°F | 182°C | Fries, chicken, pork chops |
| 370°F | 188°C | Chicken breast, heavier proteins |
| 380°F | 193°C | Chicken wings, thighs (crispy skin) |
| 400°F | 200°C | Steak sear, high-heat crisping |
How to Adjust Times for Your Air Fryer
Not all air fryers cook the same way. The times in our chart are averages, but here's how to fine-tune based on your specific model.
Basket-Style Air Fryers
The most common type. Air circulates around a metal basket with a drip tray below. These match the chart times most closely. Shaking the basket halfway through is important since the bottom layer gets more direct heat.
Oven-Style Air Fryers
Larger capacity with racks instead of a basket. Air circulation is less concentrated, so add 2-3 minutes to chart times. The trade-off is more food capacity and less need to shake or flip.
Glass Bowl Air Fryers (like TEVOLUX)
Glass retains and distributes heat more evenly than metal, which can mean slightly faster and more consistent cooking. You may be able to reduce chart times by 1-2 minutes. The transparent bowl is a major advantage: you can see exactly when food reaches the right color and crispness without opening the lid and releasing hot air.
Wattage Matters
Higher wattage = faster cooking. If your air fryer is under 1400W, add 1-2 minutes. If it's over 1700W, reduce times slightly. Most models fall between 1400-1700W.

Pro Tips for Perfect Results Every Time
Always Preheat
Run your air fryer empty for 2-3 minutes before adding food. This gives you a consistent starting temperature and better crisping.
Single Layer Rule
Food in a single layer cooks evenly. Overlapping blocks airflow, the very thing that makes air frying work. Cook in batches if needed.
Pat Food Dry
Moisture is the enemy of crispiness. Pat proteins and vegetables dry with paper towels before cooking, especially thawed frozen foods.
Shake or Flip Halfway
Set a timer for the halfway point to shake loose items (fries, veggies) or flip larger items (chicken, chops). This ensures even browning.
Light Oil Spray
A 1-2 second spray of oil makes a huge difference in texture. Use an oil mister rather than aerosol cans, which can damage non-stick coatings (not an issue with glass bowls).
Don't Forget the Rest
Let proteins rest 3-5 minutes after cooking. Carry-over cooking continues, and juices redistribute for better flavor and texture.
Season After for Crisp
For items like kale chips or mushrooms, season after cooking. Salt draws out moisture, which can prevent proper crisping.
Use a Meat Thermometer
The only reliable way to know proteins are done. Chicken: 165°F, Pork: 145°F, Beef medium-rare: 130°F, Fish: 145°F.
Why Glass Air Fryers Cook More Evenly
Traditional air fryers use metal baskets that create hot spots -- areas directly under the heating element get significantly more heat than the sides. This is why you need to shake and flip so frequently.
Glass bowls absorb and radiate heat more uniformly. The tempered glass in TEVOLUX's bowls distributes heat across the entire cooking surface, which means fewer hot spots, less flipping, and more consistent results.
There's also a practical advantage that metal baskets simply cannot match: visibility. With a transparent glass bowl, you can see your food cooking in real time. No guessing when the chicken is golden, no opening the lid to check (which drops the temperature 25-50°F each time). You watch the color change and pull it at the perfect moment.
The material matters beyond cooking performance. Traditional non-stick coatings contain PFAS chemicals that can leach into food when heated. Glass is completely inert -- it will never release chemicals, degrade, or stain. Learn more in our guide to air frying and health.
