Air fryers are the latest hot kitchen craze, and I have to admit, I’ve given into the madness as well. I’ve had my Instant Vortex Plus for months now, and I absolutely love it. It crisps food wonderfully and it’s a lot more efficient than my oven! It’s a lot easier to clean, too.
And yet, there are ways to make your air fryer even more wondrous, with a few ingenious accessories, especially if you plan on using it daily or if you plan on using it as an oven replacement. That’s an especially great idea in the summer, as an air fryer won’t heat up your whole house like a regular oven will! Steel Parts
So here are a few of my — and soon to be your — favorite air-fryer accessories.
If you want to outfit yourself in one fell swoop, this is the perfect bundle or you. It includes a pizza pan, a skewer rack (and skewers), a cake pan, a silicone mat, a metal rack for elevating pans and a seven-cup egg bites mold (which you can also use to make muffins!). Cosori sells these accessories in two different sizes — for their 3.7-quart and 5.8-quart models — but they'll likely work with similar-sized models of any brand.
"I love the accessories!" said one five-star review. "Great to use the rack when you have an overflow of what you are making (like chicken or burgers) in the basket. You have to figure a way to get it in there with food in the bottom, but it will work. I saw other reviews that said these accessories are too small but they are not.... Highly recommend!"
If you use your air fryer every day, you’ll want to minimize cleanup as much as possible. That’s why I think these pre-cut parchment paper liners are a great idea. They come in a variety of different sizes to fit the air fryer of your choice, plus they’re made out of an extra thick paper, so they won’t fly around like regular parchment. On top of making it easier to clean your air fryer, the parchment paper also makes it easier to slide food out of the basket.
Precision Steel Parts A happy shopper claimed it's even improved their air fryer's performance: "Have used it several times already, and the baked potatoes, fries, veggies, etc. seem to come out even crisper — not to mention the cleanup is as easy as taking it from the air fryer and into the trash. LOVE THESE!! And at this price point, even better!"
