# The Fryer Guide: full cooking time readouts > Direct-answer summaries for every food on this site, checked 27 September 2026. See https://thefryerguide.com/data/ for the full sourced dataset. ## Bacon URL: https://thefryerguide.com/cooking-times/bacon/ Manufacturer charts for bacon range from 160 to 220°C for 5 to 12 minutes, the widest temperature spread of any food on this site, because streaky and back bacon are cooked differently even within the same brand. The Fryer Guide lists every brand's exact figure below. Readout: 160-220°C, 5-12 MIN. Safe core temperature: 75°C (FSA). Based on 6 manufacturer sources. Last checked 27 September 2026. ## Burgers URL: https://thefryerguide.com/cooking-times/burgers/ Manufacturer charts for burgers range from 180 to 205°C for 10 to 18 minutes; the 205°C figure is Instant's, on its Grill function. A separate Salter grill-chart figure that gives no temperature is shown apart from that range. The Fryer Guide lists every brand's exact figure below, including two Ninja sources with different levels of detail. Readout: 180-205°C, 10-18 MIN. Safe core temperature: 75°C (FSA). Based on 5 manufacturer sources. Last checked 27 September 2026. ## Chicken breast URL: https://thefryerguide.com/cooking-times/chicken-breast/ Manufacturer charts for boneless chicken breast range from 180 to 200°C for 10 to 22 minutes, depending on the brand and the model. Bone-in breast takes longer: Salter's manual gives 25 to 35 minutes for that cut. The Fryer Guide shows each brand's figure separately below rather than blending them into one average, because a bone-in breast in Salter's chart takes far longer than a boneless one in Ninja's. Readout: 180-200°C, 10-22 MIN. Safe core temperature: 75°C (FSA). Based on 8 manufacturer sources. Last checked 27 September 2026. ## Chicken thighs URL: https://thefryerguide.com/cooking-times/chicken-thighs/ Every manual that states a numeric temperature for chicken thighs uses 200°C; boneless thighs run 12 to 22 minutes. Bone-in thighs are listed separately because both manuals that split them give longer times: Ninja 19 to 22 minutes and Salter 22 to 28 minutes on its air fry chart. The Fryer Guide lists each brand's exact figure so you can match your own thighs to the closest one. Readout: 200°C, 12-22 MIN. Safe core temperature: 75°C (FSA). Based on 3 manufacturer sources. Last checked 27 September 2026. ## Chicken wings URL: https://thefryerguide.com/cooking-times/chicken-wings/ Every manufacturer chart that gives a numeric temperature for chicken wings uses 200°C, with times ranging from 10 to 30 minutes. The Fryer Guide lists every brand's exact figure below with its stated amount where the chart gives one, and shows Salter's separate grill-chart figure apart from the main range. Readout: 200°C, 10-30 MIN. Safe core temperature: 75°C (FSA). Based on 3 manufacturer sources. Last checked 27 September 2026. ## Chips URL: https://thefryerguide.com/cooking-times/chips/ Fresh, hand-cut chips take 170 to 200°C for 15 to 26 minutes across the sources on this page, while frozen chips run 170 to 210°C for 13 to 25 minutes. The Fryer Guide shows fresh and frozen as two separate tables, because they're different cooking jobs. Readout: 170-200°C, 15-26 MIN. Shake or turn partway through. No numeric food-safety figure applies to this food. Frozen: 170-210°C, 13-25 MIN. Based on 5 manufacturer sources. Last checked 27 September 2026. ## Fish fingers URL: https://thefryerguide.com/cooking-times/fish-fingers/ Manufacturer charts for frozen fish fingers range from 180 to 200°C for 6 to 20 minutes, a wider spread than most foods on The Fryer Guide. The charts also list different batch sizes, from a handful up to 500g, so each brand's figure is shown below with its stated amount. Readout: 180-200°C, 6-20 MIN. Doneness: OPAQUE & FLAKES. Based on 5 manufacturer sources. Last checked 27 September 2026. ## Jacket potato URL: https://thefryerguide.com/cooking-times/jacket-potato/ Every manual that states a numeric temperature for a whole jacket potato uses 200°C (Cosori's Iconic chart, shown only as a reference, gives 385°F, about 196°C). The time varies from 30 to 60 minutes, mostly because of potato size and whether it's pierced and oiled first. The Fryer Guide lists every brand's figure below, since size matters more than picking one brand's number. Readout: 200°C, 30-60 MIN. No numeric food-safety figure applies to this food. Based on 5 manufacturer sources. Last checked 27 September 2026. ## Pork chops URL: https://thefryerguide.com/cooking-times/pork-chops/ Manufacturer charts for pork chops range from 180 to 200°C for 10 to 20 minutes, for boneless chops between 100g and 600g. Ninja's own quick start guide gives a separate, slightly longer figure for bone-in chops, shown apart from this range rather than blended into it. The Fryer Guide lists every brand's exact figure below. Readout: 180-200°C, 10-20 MIN. Safe core temperature: 75°C (FSA). Based on 5 manufacturer sources. Last checked 27 September 2026. ## Roast potatoes URL: https://thefryerguide.com/cooking-times/roast-potatoes/ Manufacturer charts for roasting raw potatoes in an air fryer sit at 200°C for 15 to 30 minutes: Ninja's general roast potato chart starts at 15 minutes, while the raw-wedge rows from Ninja and Salter run 22 to 30 minutes. The Fryer Guide lists Instant's par-boiled method separately because it starts from part-cooked potatoes. Readout: 200°C, 15-30 MIN. No numeric food-safety figure applies to this food. Based on 4 manufacturer sources. Last checked 27 September 2026. ## Salmon URL: https://thefryerguide.com/cooking-times/salmon/ Manufacturer charts for salmon fillet range from 180 to 200°C for 8 to 14 minutes, a tighter spread than most meats on this site. The Fryer Guide lists every brand's exact figure below instead of averaging them, because salmon is judged done by how it looks and flakes rather than a single core temperature. Readout: 180-200°C, 8-14 MIN. Doneness: OPAQUE & FLAKES. Based on 4 manufacturer sources. Last checked 27 September 2026. ## Sausages URL: https://thefryerguide.com/cooking-times/sausages/ Manufacturer charts for fresh sausages range from 180 to 200°C for 8 to 20 minutes, with the exact time depending mostly on how many sausages are in the basket and whether they're chipolatas or traditional sausages. The Fryer Guide lists every brand's figure below, since batch size and sausage type explain most of the spread. Readout: 180-200°C, 8-20 MIN. Safe core temperature: 75°C (FSA). Frozen: 10-14 MIN. Based on 4 manufacturer sources. Last checked 27 September 2026. ## Steak URL: https://thefryerguide.com/cooking-times/steak/ Manufacturer charts for steak range from 180 to 205°C for 5 to 20 minutes, a wide spread because steak thickness, weight and how well done you want it all change the time far more than they do for other meats. Ninja's own website chart gives a wider range than its printed quick start guide for the same appliance. The Fryer Guide lists every brand's exact figure below. Readout: 180-205°C, 5-20 MIN. Doneness: CAN BE PINK. Based on 6 manufacturer sources. Last checked 27 September 2026. ## Whole chicken URL: https://thefryerguide.com/cooking-times/whole-chicken/ Manufacturer charts for a whole chicken range from 170 to 180°C for 40 to 60 minutes, both using a Roast function rather than the standard Air Fry setting. Ninja gives a single weight and time; Instant gives a wider time window with no weight stated. The Fryer Guide lists both brands' exact figures below. Readout: 170-180°C, 40-60 MIN. Safe core temperature: 75°C (FSA). Based on 3 manufacturer sources. Last checked 27 September 2026.
