How it works
Not the 20/20 rule. A 20/20 rule with modifiers.
- 01
Start with the oven recipe.
Any temp, any time. Fahrenheit or Celsius — we handle both and keep the source honest.
- 02
Pick the food and the fryer.
A frozen pizza in a Ninja cooks very differently from fish in a Philips. The math accounts for both.
- 03
Cook with a number you trust.
Temperatures round down for safety. The “check at” time tells you when to open the basket for a shake or a flip.
