Key Facts

Air fryer quart ratings measure basket volume, not the single-layer area that determines crisping.
Most electric pressure cookers run about 10-12 PSI, not the 15 PSI stovetop standard.
That is roughly 240-244 F versus about 250 F, so electric recipes typically need 10-15% longer.
Slow cooker Low is roughly 190-200 F, High roughly 250-300 F, Warm roughly 165-175 F — bands, not fixed numbers.
Convection needs about 25 F less than a conventional-oven recipe temperature.
Microwave cook time scales inversely with wattage. A 700 W unit needs roughly 30-70% more time than the 1000-1200 W package reference.
Stand mixer wattage does not predict dough handling. Tilt-head versus bowl-lift is the design difference that matters.
PTFE nonstick is generally rated to about 500 F; ceramic coatings often 550 F or more. Follow the specific product rating.
