Air Fryer Basket Dividers

Air fryer basket dividers are a quick way to prepare your whole meal. With this handy air fryer accessory, you can divide your air fryer into smaller compartments so that you can cook multiple items simultaneously. You simply slide the divider into your air fryer basket, which then divides it up into two smaller compartments. Now you can cook your meat and veggies at the same time without them touching. The trick, though, is to pick two ingredients that will be cooked at the same time and at the same temperature.

These dividers are usually made of dishwasher-safe material, so they’re easy to clean.

Now, let’s talk about air fryer racks – these little guys are seriously handy. They’re basically little racks that you can put inside your air fryer. They allow you to cook multiple items at once, which is great if you’re trying to feed a crowd or just want to get dinner on the table faster. Plus, they can give your food a nice, crispy texture – think of it like a mini oven rack inside the air fryer. As the food is suspended in the air, it allows for better air circulation that helps to cook the food faster and gives it that crispy texture.

So, why should you consider adding an air fryer rack to your collection of kitchen gadgets? For starters, they’re super convenient if you’re short on space. Instead of cooking everything in batches, you can just load up the rack and let it go. They’re also great for cooking smaller items that might fall through the grates of your air fryer – no more lost onion rings! All in all, air fryer racks are a simple but effective accessory that can really elevate your air frying game.

Air Fryer Trays

Next, we have the air fryer trays that work just like oven trays. They are mainly used to roast, bake, or crisp food in the air fryer. Now, you might be wondering why you would need to get air fryer baskets and trays when you already have baskets and trays for your oven. Here’s the thing – the baskets and trays you use in your air fryer are specifically designed to work with the unique heating elements and circulation patterns of an air fryer. Oven baskets and trays might not work as well in an air fryer, and they might even interfere with the cooking process. So, if you want to get the best results from your air fryer, it’s worth investing in baskets and trays that are specifically designed for use in this appliance.

There are many types of trays that you can buy. The popular ones are:

  1. Stainless-steel baking trays which are usually square, will fit inside a square air fryer basket.
  2. Silicone baking trays which are usually in a round shape to cater to the round air fryer baskets.
  3. Crisping tray with slotted holes for any juices from the food to drip into the basket below. That way, the food is crunchy and crisp.

Air Fryer skewers

Skewered meat and veggies are a great way to prepare food that is juicy and tender. The air fryer is great for getting the right results as the hot circulating air crisping the outside while maintaining the juices inside. Plus, there will be no need to flip the food because of the better air circulation.

So, why can’t I use my grill or wooden skewers in my air fryer? Well, firstly, the size of the skewers is most likely not going to fit in the air fryer basket. This is because most air fryers have a compact design, so the air fryer baskets are small. As for wooden skewers, you must source short ones and ensure the measurements are correct before buying them.

Another thing to note is the type of air fryer you have. For simple models, getting the standard stainless steel air fryer skewers with a rack to place the skewered meat horizontally would be best. Where you have a tall air fryer, you can get skewers that stand vertically inside the air fryer. And finally, for a multifunctional air fryer that has a rotating basket, the skewers are attached to a drum which is attached to the air fryer, and the drum rotates when the air fryer is in cook mode.

Air fryer liners

Lastly, as a busy mum, I know all about the time-saving benefits of air fryer liners! They come in two varieties: air fryer parchment paper and silicone liners. Parchment paper for air fryers creates an easy non-stick surface that ensures your food won’t stick to your air fryer basket while also preventing any messy clean-up afterward. For a more durable option, there are air fryer silicone liners that can be used multiple times without needing replacement. Not only do these liners make the clean-up quick and effortless, but they also help delicate food to be kept intact when lifted out of the air fryer basket.

Conclusion

Well, there you have it – a rundown of some of the top air fryer accessories that can enhance your cooking experience and help you get the most out of your appliance. From dividers, racks, trays, skewers, and liners, there are all sorts of accessories out there to choose from.

While it may be tempting to use your trusty oven accessories for air frying, I recommend investing in air fryer-specific tools instead. Air fryer accessories are designed with the dimensions of an air fryer in mind and made with materials that can withstand the high heat of air frying without melting or warping. Not only do these air fryer accessories create the best outcome when cooking up food, but they’re also a great way to make sure that you get the most out of your air fryer.

And the best part? These air fryer accessories are relatively affordable and can significantly affect how you cook with your air fryer. So, if you’re looking to take your air frying to the next level, consider adding a few of these accessories to your collection. Who knows – you might just find your new favorite way to cook!
