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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@flipflopping]

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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@nancyreyes3105]

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

[@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.

[@leapylouie801]

Yep. Already use the liners

[@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

[@lindaevans6461]

Yes after watching your video i bought parchment papers.

[@pacman_17]

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

[@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.

[@franniemorris-caines887]

[@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 found using the liners means i need to flip whatever I'm making midway through but without liners I don't need to do that. But as u say, to save my sanity and my airfryer from vigorous bathing every other day, using the liners or foil is a much better option 🤗

[@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!

[@dirtyketovore6175]

Dollar tree now sells them round though, large ones 15 and small ones 20. they also sell small round magnets in the craft section. a few small magnets and 8c paper a piece.

[@gailremp8389]

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. He had him sitting on an air fryer sheet that I could see. Oh well OK let me see what’s going. Thanks sweetie. Wonderful, as always.

[@buzby303]

Finally joined the air fryer world & received my Cosori air fryer On this model the basket has screws holding it in so do people remove these or just leave them in I just thought it be a pain removing them every time I wana put the filters under the top grill part of the basket 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@empoweredcooks]

Hmmm, which model did you get?

[@katyp.2495]

I've been using parchment paper liners in my air fryer for several years and I'm always very wary that they can float around if not properly weighed down. The magnets you used would be so useful, but I can't see anything like them for sale here in the U.K. 🇬🇧. unless I'm not looking in the right place 🙁.

[@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.

[@dwin6005]

In germany we call it baking-paper.

[@maxineb9598]

I bake my bread in foil loaf pans in the airfryer.

[@Leslie27275]

Do you have a good recipe for grilled cheese? I tried buttering both sides of bread, used parchment paper, cooked 10 minutes at 380, turning after 5 minutes but the cheese didn’t melt.

[@bridgetdoman1386]

I've been using these liners between the two parts of the basket for the last 3 years I've had an air fryer, helps to keep the bottom clean and collects any fat etc produced when cooking meat. Let's the air circulate.

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.

Good tips. When I take out what I cook I out dish soap and water in it, it sits there soaking. I eat. It’s easy clean… some of this seems like a real overkill.

The demonstration you did with the salmon was flawed in the fact that the salmon has a solid base unlike a portion of chips that require air flow would react differently, and the magnetic strips are a good idea but I looked and at $16 a pack way to expensive for me. I use the papers all the time because we never used them before in the oven and the air is blown around the food like a fan oven and up and under the tray the food is in, the only time I don't use them is when I am sauteing or stewing.

Bear in mind that parchment paper is not recyclable so it will just end up in a landfill. We tried to minimize our use of it just for that reason.

[@cleverhype]

Aparently according to her packagung she claims it is

[@badGamr]

@@cleverhype Due to the parchment paper being coated with silicone, it makes it more difficult to recycle. This is because the components of the paper won’t easily separate. To verify that your paper can be recycled, reach out to your local recycler before putting parchment in your recycling bin. Parchment paper that has been soaked in oil should not be recycled.
