Toast in an air fryer
toast in an air fryer
200 °C / 392 °F for 3–5 min
Oven equivalent: 220 °C / 428 °F for 5–8 min
An air fryer is a small convection oven, so toast cooks at 200 °C rather than 220 °C and takes 3–5 min instead of 5–8. That is roughly the usual 20 °C drop and a fifth off the time.

What goes wrong
- The fan can lift a light slice into the element. Weight it with a rack or skip this one.
- A toaster is faster and uses less energy. This is only worth it if you need a lot at once.
Air fryer wattage and basket size vary widely, so treat the first batch as a calibration run and write down what worked. These figures are compiled guidance, not a published standard.
