How to convert recipes from Oven to Air fryer?

- Lower the cooking temperature by about 20-25°C (or 36-45°F) compared to the oven temperature suggested in the recipe.
- Shorten the cooking time by about 20-25%.
For example,When a recipe calls for baking frozen spring rolls in the oven at 190°C for 14 minutes, you can air fry them at 170°C for 8-10 minutes. This is because the air fryer cooks faster than ovens.
