Hi! I'm Cathy Yoder - "The REAL Air Fryer Queen" 👑 👩‍🍳
As a busy mom of 8 kids who doesn't LOVE to cook, I needed a more inspiring way to feed my family--several times a day. That's when I had an "aha moment" and discovered I could use an AIR FRYER to cook real food, using real recipes, REAL FAST.
Now, I'm on a mission to EMPOWER everyday cooks (like me) to feel more confident in the kitchen. With simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, every air fryer recipe here will help you make delicious (and mostly nutritious) air fryer meals in minutes.
So, if you're ready to unleash the power of your air fryer, join me here at Empowered Cooks. We'll make recipes ranging from amazing air fryer chicken to salmon, steak, veggies, baked goods, and desserts in a fraction of the time it normally takes. Are you ready? Let's go! 🚀

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.

[@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!!

[@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!

[@monikal.3829]

Hello Cathy! Thank you for the great recipes, they are all great. I use baking paper from the start. You can sometimes buy them at ALDI. But the magnets are not available to buy on Amazon in Germany. I can't find them anywhere on the internet. That's a shame because it's a very useful invention. Warm greetings from Germany from Monika

[@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

[@leapylouie801]

Yep. Already use the liners

[@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.

[@pacman_17]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@ddoukopou]

Those parchment baskets are great for bread crumbing food, easy clean up.

[@Tomatohater64]

Great tips. I need to buy one before the year ends. I really like the Cuisinart air fryer.

[@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.

[@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.

[@helenkaymckinney]

Live the parchment liners😅

[@thewebstylist]

Oh my gosh I never thought to add Under the basket in certain cases!

[@carolsze6559]

Thank you for this review/comparison. It was very thorough and answered many questions.

[@roselybrink]

Yes use liner's since I learned this hack from you! LOL

[@rodterrell304]

I got some months ago , they work great! This is very informative. Thanks

[@user-sy7ck3ln6o]

I cook cubed (teriyaki) chicken almost everyday.. and I use liners, and they save me clean up time like no tomorrow.

[@vidarbentestuen3819]

A little bit of water in the bottom will also help. especially for your baked bread ect.

[@hamidreza.sanaee]

hello Thank you for the informative videos What model do you recommend for the best inflatable air conditioner of about 5 or 6 liters?

[@PretirementDays]

Thanks for the information!

[@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!

[@darksidemachining]

Superb Video. Is the sheathing over the magnets made of silicone?

[@user-py4kh1ho4t]

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

[@jorgeomarcosmerivera4871]

Love the magnets, looking for those for a while 👍

[@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.

[@sheryl7837]

I use these liners often!

[@nancyfeeser4653]

Any info for air fryer/toaster ovens?

[@kareneddy2238]

Bought your parchment airfryer liners before I saw your video. Now I feel totally vindicated!!!!! 🤣

[@lindaevans6461]

Yes after watching your video i bought parchment papers.

[@npinto824]

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

[@cleverhype]

Can you please tell us if yourparchment paper has any PFAs in it? Amazon description doesn't say

[@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.

[@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 breakers. And as always a BIG thumbs👍 up.

[@kimkusterTN]

I love arcent paper!

Thrilled for a new video 😊😊

[@RitaPatience]

I use ceramic magnets. They are small and cheap. Use 8 of them. One for each side and each corner. Must be ceramic for high heat.

[@croberts709]

My husband is convinced they add a smell to the food! I don't smell it but he's convinced. He volunteered to always clean the air fryer (and he does) so I can only use them when he's not around.😁

[@constancegarcia8053]

Yes, always! 🎉🎉🎉

[@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.

[@delenngrey9492]

Pfas? Don’t they use it on that paper?

[@gailremp8389]

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. I mean it’s OK if people want to do it but why take something simple and make it as difficult as possible to freak yourself out. That’s not the point. At least that’s what I thought. Oh well…but you have it nailed…

[@kendlefulton7429]

❤❤❤❤❤ I hope you're having a great day

[@maxineb9598]

No, baking paper cant be made magnetic. Its small bits of what looks like silicone that is the magnetic bit. The silicone will cover the magnets.

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.

[@srenlarsen3148]

[@zarbon700]

Everything is toxic these days.

[@jann3443]

My adult daughter, with 2 under the age of 5, won't use one because she says the non stick basket is toxic. This is something manufacturers should change if that's the case. I've used my Cosori every evening since I bought it in 2021! I hope the coating isn't toxic but who knows!

And how many people complaining about an airfryer being toxic also use non stick frying pans . No difference in my non scientific way of thinking.
