Silicone Air Fryer Liners Review


Hello, everybody! Today, I'm back with another product review. We're taking a closer look at silicone air fryer liners. If you're like me and use your air fryer a lot, you'll know it can get pretty dirty. I bought these liners to see if they can reduce the cleaning hassle while still crisping up food well. Let's find out if they're worth the investment.

Product Details

I purchased these silicone air fryer liners for $9.99 on Amazon. They're made of silicone and feature textured ridges at the bottom, but no ventilation holes. They arrived in a simple bag labeled "Made in China" with no additional packaging or instructions.

Testing Process

To thoroughly test these liners, I'll be using my Ninja air fryer. First, I'll clean it thoroughly for a fresh start. I'll then air fry taquitos with and without the liners to compare the results.

Using the Silicone Liners

  1. Preparation: I cleaned my air fryer and placed the washed silicone liner inside.
  2. Cooking: I air fried three taquitos at 400°F for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, they needed an additional minute to get crispy on the edges.
  3. Results: The liners caught a lot of crumbs and kept my air fryer clean. However, they did emit a slight burning plastic smell, which could be due to factory residue.

Without the Liners

  1. Preparation: After letting the air fryer cool down, I placed three more taquitos directly in the basket.
  2. Cooking: I air fried them for 5 minutes, then added another minute.
  3. Results: These taquitos were slightly crispier and had more color compared to those cooked with the liners. However, the air fryer got dirty with crumbs and grease.

Taste Test

Both batches of taquitos tasted similar, with a slight edge in crispiness for those cooked without the liners. If you prioritize a cleaner air fryer, the slight compromise in crispiness might be worth it.

Pros and Cons

Pros:

  • Keeps the air fryer clean, reducing cleaning time.
  • Easy to clean – just rinse with soap and water.
  • Durable and reusable.

Cons:

  • Slight plasticky smell initially.
  • Slightly less crispy food, but this can be mitigated by adjusting the cooking time.

Conclusion

Overall, I find these silicone air fryer liners to be a great purchase for $9.99. They make cleaning much easier and don't significantly compromise the quality of the food. For anyone looking to simplify their air frying process, I highly recommend these liners.
