Microwaves have no temperature setting, so use 350°F (175°C) as a default air-fryer reheat temperature.
Air-fryer reheating takes longer than a microwave but restores crispness microwaving destroys.
Best for fries, pizza, fried chicken, and pastries — not for soups, sauces, or steaming.
Add a splash of water under bread-y items only if they dry out; most reheats need nothing.
How the conversion works
Set the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and expect roughly 3× the microwave minutes.

Example calculation
A 3-minute microwave reheat becomes 350°F / 175°C for 8–9 min. The tool keeps the temperature fixed because microwaves do not provide an oven-style temperature setting.
