Air fryer cooking times, checked against the manuals
The Fryer Guide shows every cooking time as the spread across UK air fryer manuals and brand charts (Ninja, Tower, Salter, Cosori and Instant), with the FSA's safe core temperature where one applies, so you see where each figure comes from.

Converting an oven recipe?
Ninja's own booklets say reduce the oven temperature by 10°C. Instant's guidance says reduce it by 20°C and cut the time by 20 to 25%. The brands don't agree, so the converter shows both rules rather than picking one for you.

Every cooking time and temperature above comes from a manufacturer's manual, quick start guide or brand chart, with the FSA's core temperature shown for meat. Read the full method, sources and the appliance actually used on the about and methodology page.
