Hi, I'm Sujata. I bake every cake, cookie and brownie here in my own air fryer, usually three or four times over, until the temperature and time come out right. Pick one and start baking.

Got an oven recipe you love? Bake it in the basket.

Pop in the oven temperature and time from any recipe. I'll drop the heat and trim the minutes so it cooks through without scorching on top.

The short version: bake about 25°F lower and knock off roughly 20% of the time, then start checking early. This does the math for you.

About

Every recipe made in my own basket, three or four times over

A few years ago I borrowed a relative's air fryer just to reheat leftovers, and ended up baking a small cake in it that same night. It came out lighter than my oven version, and a lot faster. I have been testing air fryer bakes ever since.

Now I share the ones that actually work. Every recipe here gets made in my own standard basket until the temperature and timing land right, because a recipe that only works once is not really a recipe. If it doesn't pass an honest first try, it doesn't go up.
