Let me start by saying these parchment paper liners have completely transformed my air frying experience. No more scrubbing stubborn grease off my Ninja Foodi's dual baskets - just toss the used liner and enjoy a spotless air fryer.
The first time I used them for chicken wings, I was amazed. The grease drained perfectly while keeping the wings crispy, and cleanup took literally seconds. The paper is surprisingly durable despite being thin - it held up to 400°F without issues.
However, I learned the hard way that you MUST weigh them down properly. When I tried making light onion rings, the paper lifted and nearly touched the heating element. Now I always make sure to place heavier items around the edges or use multiple food items to secure it.
The included reusable fiberglass liners are brilliant for frequent use. They've survived dozens of washes in my dishwasher and still look new. Perfect for when I'm doing back-to-back batches of fries or chicken tenders.
Pro tip: These work exceptionally well for messy foods like marinated meats or fish fillets. The difference in cleanup time is night and day compared to cooking directly on the basket.
While some might argue they're unnecessary since the baskets are non-stick, for someone who uses their air fryer daily like me, these liners are worth every penny in saved cleaning time alone.
