We LOVE our air fryers. These modern-day multitaskers are the best thing to happen to the kitchen since the microwave—they make getting dinner on the table mind-blowingly fast and easy. Well, how'd you like to make getting dinner off the table easier? Nonstick silicone liners —like this popular set from Amazon — make air fryer cleanup a snap.

Made with food-grade silicone, these'll fit fryers with 3- to 5-quart capacities. Bonus: They're microwave-safe.
As far as low-maintenance appliances go, you can't really beat the air fryer. But just like anything else, if you use it regularly, it's going to get schmutzed-up. If you've ever hand-washed an air fryer basket, you know how gross it can get — and if you'd rather not have to periodically dig burnt crumbs out of the bottom or put your basket at risk of rusting, air fryer basket liners are a great way to save yourself the headache of cleaning. Paper liners are popular, but if you want something reusable, these silicone liners can be wiped clean, or tossed in the dishwasher for messier kitchen projects.
They're nonstick and, being silicone, you can spread the easy-cleaning joy to your microwave, too. However you use them, they'll make the entire mealtime production even easier.
We know what you're thinking, and don't worry: Your fries will still come out nice and crispy. (Amazon)

"Can’t live without these if you have an air fryer," raved this not-hyperbolic-at-all fan. "Keeps [the] air fryer basket clean. No need to wash the air fryer basket with these — just give it a wipe. No more rusting air fryer basket!"
"The only thing I don’t like about my air fryer is having to clean it," groaned this gourmand. "This eliminates that issue. The food still got crispy just like if I cooked it without this."
"These are awesome!" said another rave reviewer. "I use my air fryer way more since I bought these!"
"[My] first impression was that [the] product is a little smaller than expected, but [it] turned out to fit just right into the Ninja Foodi," wrote a happy cook. "I was a little reluctant to use the fryer for greasy and otherwise messy stuff; now I can just empty the liner after use and either handwash or pop it into the dishwasher and give a quick wipe to the fryer and [it's] ready to go again. Really encourages me to get the fullest use of my Foodi."

"Why didn't I think about buying these earlier?!" wrote a fan. "They work perfectly; I kinda wish they were a tad bit larger, but they are just fine for my bucket air fryer. You can prepare multiple items without having to clean the unit after each item."
