355°F converts to approximately 160°C in a fan oven. This is the standard equivalent for most UK fan-assisted ovens, making it easy to adapt recipes from Fahrenheit to Celsius. Whether you're baking, roasting, or air frying, this temperature works beautifully for everything from crispy chicken to golden cakes. At airfryerrecipe.co.uk, we specialise in helping you nail these conversions for flawless cooking.
Fan ovens circulate hot air for even cooking, so temperatures often differ from conventional ovens. Converting 355 F ensures your dishes cook evenly without burning or undercooking. This is especially handy for air fryers, which work similarly to fan ovens. Many US recipes use Fahrenheit, so knowing the 355 F fan oven equivalent (160°C) saves guesswork. Check our air fryer conversion chart for more precise adjustments.
Air fryers typically require slight temperature reductions versus fan ovens. If a recipe states 355 F, try 150-155°C in your air fryer to account for its intense heat circulation. This prevents overcooking while keeping textures perfect. For example, our chicken recipes often use this adjusted range for juicy, crispy results.
When using 355 F in a fan oven or air fryer, timing matters. Fan ovens cook about 20% faster than conventional ones, so reduce times by 5-10 minutes initially. Air fryers are even quicker—check food 5 minutes early to avoid overbrowning. For frozen foods like chips or nuggets, our frozen foods guide recommends 160°C for 12-15 minutes.
This mid-range temperature suits many dishes. Roast vegetables caramelise beautifully, while cookies spread evenly without burning. For air fryers, 355 F (adjusted to 150-155°C) works wonders for reheating pizza or crisping leftovers. Explore our recipe collection for inspiration, from salmon fillets to tofu bites.
Baked goods like muffins or scones also thrive at this temperature. The fan setting ensures risen, golden tops without soggy bottoms. If adapting a US recipe, remember 355 F equals 160°C fan—no need to recalculate ingredients. Just tweak timings as needed.
Air fryers mimic fan ovens but with faster airflow. At 355 F (160°C fan), an air fryer cooks food quicker, so monitor closely. For example, chicken wings might take 20 minutes in a fan oven but just 15 in an air fryer. Always preheat both appliances for consistent results.
Cleaning is easier with air fryers—our cleaning guide shows how to maintain them post-cooking. Fan ovens require more effort but offer larger capacity. Choose based on your meal size and desired crispiness.
