I was skeptical at first, but these silicone liners have completely transformed my air fryer experience. The first time I used them for crispy chicken wings, I noticed how evenly they cooked—no more flipping halfway through! The side holes really do their job.
What surprised me most was how they preserved my air fryer's basket. After making greasy bacon three times this week (don't judge), I simply pulled out the liner and tossed it in the dishwasher. Came out spotless while my actual fryer basket stayed pristine.
I did notice a slight difference in crispiness compared to cooking directly on the metal basket, but for 90% of my meals (especially messy stuff like cheesy foods), the trade-off is worth it. Pro tip: For extra crispy fries, I remove the liner during the last 3 minutes of cooking.
After two months of near-daily use, they haven't warped or discolored despite my 400°F cooking marathons. They've become my secret weapon for quick cleanup during busy weeknights.
