I've been watching your channel since 2022 when I got my first Cosori AF and since upgraded to the Dreo ChefMaker. The Parchment paper with the sides are great to put under the basket and then use it to cook burgers. What a time saving hack. No more greasy bottoms. I do still have the ones with the holes but hardly use them now since I upgraded to the newer ones. Thanks Cathy for all your fun and user tips and hacks. I have to try those magnets, those look cool to use.

[@empoweredcooks]

Agreed on all of it! I haven't tested those magnets on the ChefMaker... hope it works for you!

[@reneesoli5345]

Put a piece of old bread on top of parchment paper, this will soak up all grease.

[@Banagal]

I've used parchment papers ever since you taught us how, and I LOVE them!

[@LeslyeMcCulloch]

I’m late to the party! 75 year old widow with my first air fryer. Just came across your videos and have to say, if I never use my air fryer I will watch you just for your upbeat, adorable personality and facial expressions. lol. Now if I can just learn to cook without blackening my food, I’m back in the cooking game. Thanks for all your advice. 😊😊😊😊

[@kyrienthomas1728]

I’m the first timer to the air fryer which I’ve got yesterday and I also bought some parchment paper for it. The first fish and chips in it. Absolutely brilliant many thanks.

[@janicemcguire5839]

I just do not what to buy. I'm 86 and want to get one for just myself and Daughter. Could you suggest which brand to buy. I'm on fixed income though. Have to buy online as I cant get around the stores. Thank you

[@FranHines-r2f]

Your tips were so helpful. I especially liked the one on when to place the parchment paper in the bottom of the air fryer instead of the basket so that the grease will drain away, but the parchment will catch it in the bottom of the air fryer, saving some clean up. Thanks, Kathy.

[@marshagoddard6862]

I have been using the parchment paper liners since I bought my air fryer 8 months ago. I hate the clean up otherwise. I know not to put the liners in while pre-heating the unit, so I have not had a problem with "blowup" burning. I can cook my entire meal with different times and foods using the liners that go up the sides! Baby potatoes, three colored peppers, and Sweet Thai Chili coated salmon all together. I just lift the whole liners out and serve!

[@jamilatoussaint8876]

Hi where do u get the liners to buy

[@flipfloppingwithMike]

Cathy, I gotta be honest...I am VERY glad I subscribed to your channel. I have learned a TON of useful tricks and now I can make chicken wings (and other things) with absolute perfection. Great job!!

[@empoweredcooks]

Yay! Welcome!

[@mar4kl]

I've been using reusable silicone liners. They're a lot easier to clean than the air fryer basket, and on the occasion when something actually sticks to them (like salmon fat!), I can use tougher cleansers on them than I would on an air fryer basket. They have ridges on the bottoms that the food sits on, which allows for some airflow, so I haven't had to adjust cooking times or temperatures. They have more structural integrity than a paper liner would, so they can double as air fryer baking dishes for recipes like the BBQ tater tots casserole. They do have some disadvantages, the first and most obvious of which is they have to be cleaned, and in a situation like yours, where you have a lot of people using your air fryer, including teenagers, there's a lot to be said for the convenience of disposable liners. Also, one of my silicone liners is prone to staining, and I can see that it will reach a point where it looks gross enough that I'll want to throw it out and buy a new one. But at under $10 apiece, they're a great value and meet my expectations.

[@saiyer526]

Nice! baking paper is a waste, costly, not sustainable.

[@cherylann8292]

Thats what i use also. I love it

[@petesbasscovers4786]

Thank you, Cathy! Using parchment paper liners is a great idea. I now use them every day.

[@heyfunny3036]

I just bought an air fryer, my first. Thanks for sharing this informative video!

[@Rebecca-r7h]

Would love and appreciate an answer to this toxicity question. And a survey of which brands have and which do not have toxic basket coating.

[@CharleneAdkins]

Important question Google it there are sites

[@anthemward2877]

Good videoThis answered the questions I had that I went through about four other videos trying to figure out I grasp the concept that the liners existed before. I was looking for it but when was not to use them is the big thing. Thanks

[@TheDollyce]

Thank you VERY MUCH for these tips! Especially appreciated putting the parchment paper UNDER the grill plate to catch drippings, while the food item is sitting right on the grill plate! Also loved the air fryer magnets! You don't know how many times I've been frustrated with the parchment paper curling over my (frozen) chicken-veg spring rolls! I cook 6 at a time, and they don't fill the grill plate sufficiently. Plus, we're supposed to give them space! Anyway, loved the tips! And I'm going to cook my salmon in my (Ninja) air fryer TONIGHT! I've always just cooked them in olive oil and a little water, kind of "poaching" or "steaming" them, and it's a futzy enterprise.

[@andyb7754]

Thank you for the tips. I use parchment paper and like it. I'll try the magnet trick because yes, the paper rolls up in my air fryer. I'll give it a try under the separator when cooking chicken because I hate the oily mess after I get the chicken cooked. Thank you again.

[@npinto824]

I bought silicone air fryer liners. Any thoughts on those?

[@evitachapa431]

Thanks so much for the tip on the magnets. I've been using parchment paper since the air fryer's being used more often. For food like steaks I haven't used parchment paper, will need to try you hack on putting it at the bottom of the basket after preheating. For smaller items I cut my parchment paper to fit.

[@donaldduke2233]

Didn't know you had liners. I bought Cosori liners from Amazon along with your cookbook and CheatSheet. I'm subscribed and rang the black bell. Today I used my Dual Blaze for the first time. Three steaks covered the bottom. Mixed every kind of meat rub I could find in the cabinet. Lightly sprayed pan and meat with the type of spray bottle I saw on your videos. Coated the steaks with combined rub mix and cooked at 400 for 8 minutes. THEY CAME OUT GREAT ! ! ! !

[@karleedu]

I bought 3 air fryer baskets about 3/4 inch deep and have little legs on them that I bought at Temu. I put the air fryer liners in and put one of these on top and I always have crispy food. They are the best investment I've made for my air fryer

[@2uksteve]

Instinctively, the idea of an extra basket/tray insert seems to make perfect sense - essentially the same as higher racks in a conventional oven. Of course, the higher they stand the closer they are to the air-fryer's heat source - so some allowance must be made for that. Are there any sources other than Temu?

[@karleedu]

@@2uksteve I haven't found these anywhere else. They are cost effective and sturdy. I've had them for quite some time and they wash up nicely

[@crojemupeo]

Does parchment go on top of the crisper tray, or under it? If you use a liner, do you still use the crisper tray? I'm not understanding how to layer these things.

[@fishdakalang2784]

HI I HAVE A QUESTION MY AIR FRYER IS 7.5 QT SHOULD I BUY 8 inch liners? Thanks

[@pacman_17]

The salmon test was interesting. I always avoided parchment paper because of the airflow. Thank you for another awesome video.

[@cindymahone1604]

@empoweredcooks, Is there a way to keep your food from blowing around inside while it’s air drying?? Ex: making tortilla pizza’s, the pepperoni’s fly around while air frying!! 🤔

[@lynnhughes]

Use a small cooling rack. I have 6inch round one and it works great.

[@judycroteau482]

@@lynnhughesYes put the rack over the food to hold down the bits that might fly up.

[@tonywilson9950]

when baking bread with out a tin do you leave the trivet in or place the bread on parchment paper on the bottom of the air fryer? Also how to deal with the wet bottom?

[@littlejoe1778]

I have used tin foil under and/or on top of the tray many of times, especially when I add cheese or other hard to clean up items. But I do like my dishwasher safe basket.

[@michellevalleskey3796]

Thanks so much for the video. I was wondering why my paper was burning. Had no idea until now that it gets sucked up. Definitely getting these magnets.

[@Sharon-bi1rn]

My instant pot duo crisp is coming. I think stainless is not magnetic, so cant use your great hack. Where do i get the risers to lift up food for better airflow? Are their paper liners with holes for more airfliw, or dont need? Since i like crisp skin on my salmon, do i sauté first or after the air frying step?

[@Geek4687]

What temperature what setting and how long to cook salmon?

[@ScottScottJenniGerber]

We bought and used the parchment paper for the first time today. Worked out great. Thank you. Now we're gonna try the ones without the holes.

[@bikeny]

I keep forgetting to buy them. I have a question with regards to cleaning. I probably missed the bit in the owner's manual on cleaning the top heating element and everything else up there, so when I recently heard about 'hey, clean the top of the air fryer' I found to my dismay that yeah, it's kinda brown and all. So, what suggestions do you have for easily getting the top stuff clean (or just less dirty)? Thanks very much.

[@solzmama679]

The Airfryer magnet are a good idea and I will definitely get them as use parchment papers and struggle with food being covered during cooking. Thanks for sharing

[@lindaevans6461]

Yes after watching your video i bought parchment papers.

[@nancyreyes3105]

I've had an air fryer for years but I just got a Cosori DC air fryer and I love love it🎉

[@Dae.Dae617]

If i make dinner rolls with the parchment paper, will it be okay? I mean, you roll the dough up and let it ret & rise in the airfryer container, then bake?

[@zack2366]

so what about the teflon - whats your thoughts about that with basket fryers

[@sumSum5853]

What if you have an air fryer with trays like the trap door kind that accommodate 2 trays?

[@nancyreyes3105]

And I love your recipes. You are awesome. Your kids are great with the taste testing and your recipes are amazing❤ And I did have a problem with the parchment paper burning my husband did I think cuz we used it a couple times so that might be an issue too. But I love the magnets and I think I'm going to start using the papers again. I started and then I stopped when they burnt a little bit. But I'm either using my air fryer for dinner or I'm grilling everything When you live in a place where it's even still 105° in October, you don't want to turn any oven on or be over the stove, but I love to cook and make my own meals and the Cosori air fryer is a game changer! Thanks for all your recipes and I subscribed and I can't wait to see more. Maybe some game day recipes. I know you've done some wings but I haven't seen any in a while. I've seen some from some other cooks though, but you seem like the air fryer Queen. Love to see your recipe🎉❤

I must be radical.. I will watch this and enjoy it, but it’s so easy to clean your air fryer that it’s a sin almost. But I did watch some guy do something on skewers with some sauce.

[@Lmitch1224]

I have parchments but find I don't usually use them. I always have aluminum foil around so I just use a piece of foil cut a slight bit larger than whatever I'm air frying, turn up the edges of the foil to make it a tray to contain any juices. Then easily lift the foil out when it's done.

[@TheCallyjean]

Cant you use a normal metal magnet to keep the paper down anyway?

[@empoweredcooks]

Test it out to see if they'll work in your air fryer (just make sure there isn't anything that is NOT oven safe attached to the magnet).

[@kymmoulds]

Great review and test as always. I'd love to buy the parchment paper from you but the shipping to Australia is the deal breaker. And as always a BIG thumbs👍 up.

[@unitoolzee]

I cook chicken thighs in the air fryer at least 4 times a week, and these liners are a game changer. I just increase the heat a bit and they work great. The fryer stays so clean! I don’t use them when I’m cooking ribs in the fryer, tho. Too much grease!

[@dwin6005]

Yes, I use them every time when I use my air fryer. But I also use it now when I'm baking my own bread (I bake it in a round cake pan in my normal oven, also convection). So simple: Take dry baking-mix, mix it with water, put a lid on the bowl, wait 8-12 hours, put the baking-paper in the baking pan, put the bread dough on the baking paper, put the pan in the airfryer or convection owen for 50 minutes (convection oven 180°C, airfryer 160°C - I'm in germany). Take the bread by the paper, out of the pan, peel of the paper, enjoy healthy fresh warm bread - faster than you can buy it without having stress! I love it!!! :-D Greets from Germany - happy weekend to you all! Edit recipe for the bread: 500 grams of dry baking mix and 350ml of water make a bread that fits perfectly in my air fryer (square basket, 20.5 cm wide/long inside the basket). It will take a few seconds to prepare, 8-12 hours rest and then 50minutes to bake it.
