About AirFryGuy
What this is
AirFryGuy is a small, independent, advertising-supported site with one job: help someone standing in front of an air fryer get a straight answer — a time, a temperature, a size, a cost, or a safe number — without digging through a manual or ten different recipe blogs.
The tools
Cooking a specific food: the Air Fryer Cooking Time Calculator and the Multi-Food Air Fryer Timer for running several countdowns at once.
Choosing or costing a unit: the Air Fryer Capacity Calculator, the Air Fryer Model Comparison, and the Air Fryer Energy Cost Calculator.
Adapting a recipe: the Oven to Air Fryer Recipe Converter and the Temperature Converter Tool.
Safety and upkeep: the Food Safety Temperature Guide and the Air Fryer Cleaning Scheduler.
Planning ahead: the Air Fryer Shopping List Generator, the Air Fryer Seasoning Generator, and the Air Fryer Meal Planner.
How they work
Nothing here is a black box. Each calculator takes a handful of inputs — a food and its weight, whether it’s frozen, your household size, your electricity rate — and runs them against a fixed chart or a plain formula, the same one every time. There’s no account, no saved history, and no hidden logic deciding an answer for you.
Where the numbers come from
The cook-time presets in the time and timer tools come from tested air-fryer charts for common foods — fries, wings, chicken, salmon, bacon, vegetables. The Food Safety Temperature Guide uses USDA safe-minimum internal temperatures. The energy calculator runs plain watts-to-kWh arithmetic on the wattage and rate you enter. The comparison tooluses published capacity, wattage, and price-tier figures for popular models, or whatever you type in yourself. It’s charts and arithmetic, shown plainly — not guesswork dressed up as precision.
The museum
The Museum of Cooking & the Kitchen is a separate, browsable set of galleries on the science of frying and heat, the countertop appliances that changed how people cook, the hand tools of kitchen craft, and the foods people love to air-fry. Every entry, image, and fact in it is drawn from Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons, not written by us.
Guides and articles
The learn section and the blogcover the same ground in longer form — recipes, technique, and model notes for anyone who wants more than a calculator.
What this isn’t
AirFryGuy is not a manufacturer, a food-safety authority, or a substitute for either, and it isn’t affiliated with USDA or with any air-fryer brand named in the model comparison. Every result is a general estimate built from the inputs you give it — not professional culinary or food-safety advice. Always verify doneness with a food thermometer and follow your appliance’s manual and USDA guidance before serving.
Straight talk about ads
This site runs on display advertising, not subscriptions or paid placement inside the tools themselves. That’s what keeps every calculator, guide, and gallery free to use, with nothing to sign up for.
