Can We Use Aluminum Foil In The Air Fryer?

In addition to aluminum foil, there are other materials that you can use in your air fryer to help prevent food from sticking and make cleanup easier. Two popular options are silicone liners and parchment paper liners.

Silicone liners are reusable mats made from food-grade silicone that can be placed on the bottom of the air fryer basket to prevent food from sticking. These liners are dishwasher-safe and can be reused many times, making them a convenient and eco-friendly alternative to disposable parchment paper.

Parchment paper liners, on the other hand, are disposable sheets of paper that can be placed on the bottom of the air fryer basket or used to wrap food items. These liners are a convenient option for preventing food from sticking and can also help to reduce cleanup time.

 

Same as when you’re using aluminum foil, when using silicone or parchment paper liners, make sure that the liners do not block the air vents or completely cover the basket. It is also important to make sure that the liners are compatible with your air fryer model, as some manufacturers may not recommend their use.

Ultimately, the best option for preventing food from sticking in your air fryer will depend on your personal preferences and the type of food you are cooking. Personally, I always like to go for eco-friendly options. Aluminum foil, silicone liners, and parchment paper liners can all be effective options for preventing food from sticking and making cleanup easier. By understanding the pros and cons of each option and following the manufacturer’s instructions for your specific air fryer model, you can enjoy delicious, crispy food without the hassle of sticking or cleanup.
