What a model-aware time calculator needs
Generic charts assume one appliance and one portion. That is why a time that works in a compact basket can be wrong in a large dual-zone or oven-style air fryer. Frygo asks for the variables that change the cook before it gives a starting point.
- Select the food and preparation. Frozen fries, fresh potato and homemade wedges need different handling.
- Choose your appliance. Pick an exact supported profile, such as Ninja AF400 or Philips HD9650, or the closest appliance type.
- Add the context. Amount, fresh or frozen state, crispiness and optional preheat influence the recommendation.
- Cook and check. Use the timer and reminders, then check colour, texture and doneness before serving.
There is no universal exact minute count.
Use every air fryer recommendation as a starting point. Follow food-package and manufacturer instructions, and check the result as you cook.

Popular food starting points
For broad, safety-led ranges and practical checks, start with air fryer fries, chicken breast, salmon or broccoli.
