2. A Spray Bottle for Oil – I love love love my spray bottle. I bought this bright blue spray bottle a while ago and it works wonders, although it’s been hard to find lately. However, the Evo brand spray bottles work just as well. Most commercial sprays aren’t good for your Air Fryer. Overtime, these can fade the protective coating on most Air Fryer baskets. I recommend investing in a good quality spray bottle for spritzing your food. Great thing is, you can use the spray bottle for other kitchen cooking. I use it for spritzing my regular pans when I am cooking on the stove.

3. Air Fryer Liners– I love these parchment liners. Some foods, especially those with a flour or breadcrumb coating, are known to stick to the bottom of the Air Fryer. I’ve never had that problem when using these liners and they make clean up so much easier.  The liners are also good for when you are cooking items that could stick or slide through the racks while baking, like cookies. Just remember to put the food on the liners before you turn on the Air Fryer. If not, your liner will fly around and possibly get caught in the heating element and burn.

4. Calibrated Instant Read Thermometer– This goes without saying, you’ll aways want to cook your foods, especially meats, to the right temperature. Investing in a good quality quick read thermometer is key to cooking perfect foods in the Air Fryer. The best quick read thermoeter on the market is the Thermapen 4k hands down. It comes with a 2 year warranty and is an investment that is worth every penny. The thermometer can read a temperature in less than 2 seconds flat.

I’m able to get my Air Fryer Steaks perfect by checking the temperature with my Thermapen 4k quick read thermometer.

5. Grill Tray Attachment – Some Air Fryers brands come with a grill tray attachment (Phillips and GoWise have one). Rather than placing the whole basket in the Air Fryer, you can place food on the grill attachment.  Admittedly, I first thought this was useless…but it’s the best thing ever when cooking steaks, burgers, and fish. It’s also easier to clean than the basket and makes food flipping easier. Check out my Air Fryer Steak Kebab or Air Fryer Meatloaf recipes to see it in action.

If buying, make sure you are purchasing the right grill tray that matches your Air Fryer brand.

6. Heat Resistant Tongs – Most food cooked in the Air Fryer will need to be flipped halfway through. Having a set of quality tongs is helpful. I like to use plastic ones that are heat resistant to avoid scratching the surface of my Air Fryer basket.

7. Pie Weight Chain – Since the Air Fryer has a strong fan that circulates air within the device, some smaller lightweight items are known to fly around. A great suggestion given to me by one of my readers is to invest in pie chain to hold the smaller items down in the Air Fryer. It’s pretty genuis. You can see that tip and other helpful ones on this 10 Air Fryer Tips Post

8. A Good Air Fryer Cookbook –I love having a good quality cookbook that I can use with my appliances. Here’s two cookbooks that I think are great for new owners to have, Air Fry Everything by The Blue Jean Chef  and The Super Easy Air Fryer Cookbook: Crave-Worthy Recipes for Healthier Fried Favorites by Brandi Crawford. Both books have a ton of great recipes for trying with your Air Fryer.

9. Platinum 4x More Dawn Dish Soap – If you’re like me and cook a lot of meats in your Air Fryer, the grease can be a nightmare to get off. I like to soak mine in this strong Dawn to get the grease to come right off.

10. An Air Fryer Cooking Chart – A handy reference chart is helpful when figuring out cooktimes. This is great for when deciding how long to cook certain meats and vegetables in your Air Fryer. The fact that it’s magnetic is another plus.

Hi Terri, depends on the size of your air fryer oven. As long as it can fit inside your air fryer and is oven safe, then it should work fine.

Hallo kun je ook je bakvormen en dergelijke wat je normaal in de oven gebruikt in de airfryer gebruiken en bakpapier.

Tanya

Ik zou de instructies van je airfryer volgen, maar over het algemeen geldt dat als het veilig is in je oven, het ook veilig is in je heteluchtfriteuse. Zorg er wel voor dat er iets zwaars op het bakpapier ligt, zodat het niet in het verwarmingselement vliegt wanneer de airfryer start.

Comment: Hello, you can also use your baking tins and the like that you normally use in the oven in the airfryer and baking paper? Response: I'd follow your air fryer instructions but in general, if it's safe in your oven, it is safe in your air fryer. Just make sure the baking paper is weighed down with something heavy so it does not fly into the heating element when the air fryer starts.

I have an air fryer oven and would like info on cleaning the area ubove the fan. It gets covered with grease and I can't get a cloth into clean. Should I just turn it upside down and see if there are screws I could remove to remove the element to clean that area? Mine is not teflon. Is there a produce I can use get it clean?

HI Kimberley, the air fryer ovens are a bit more difficult to clean, especially if cooking greasy foods. Here's an article that breaks down cleaning with some products. https://www.staysnatched.com/how-to-clean-your-air-fryer/
