You never need to clean your air fryer again – all you’ll need is an $11 Amazon product
ONLY one thing is better than an easy kitchen cleaning method, and that’s finding a hack that means you don’t need to clean at all.
Air fryer devotees, who have spent time scraping baked-on cheese or sauces from the sides of their machine, can make an $11 investment and use the machine up to 200 times without ever cleaning it.
An air fryer can make flawless grilled cheese, burgers, or pizza, and it can also leave a mess when food is left behind or grease drips into the basket.
The time-saving solution is nothing new: parchment paper liners are a kitchen staple for bamboo steamers, and they keep food from sticking to the baskets.
The handy liners can also be used to keep your air fryer sparkling clean.
They come in a variety of sizes and shapes, too, so no matter the model of your air fryer, you can find a paper liner that fits your needs and your space.
Pop the disposable liner into your air fryer before you place food inside, and once you’re done cooking, toss the paper and spend no time scrubbing the inside of your fryer.
If you’re worried about the paper getting stuck to your food, just give it a spray with cooking oil to keep it from sticking.

Check the specifications on the liners you buy to see how heat-safe they are – most parchment paper liners can be used in temperatures up to 450 degrees.
Of course, no solution is perfect. Parchment paper liners have small holes throughout to help keep air circulating.
That means a few crumbs may escape the liner here and there, so you’ll still need to dump them from the fryer basket occasionally, but shouldn’t require a full-scale cleaning.
