Test Kitchen Recommendation: You Need These!
Air Fryer Magnets for Parchment Paper
Since we use our air fryer a LOT in the Hungryland test kitchen, we're big fans of disposable parchment liners, especially for easier cleanup. What we're not fans of? When those liners bunch up, flap around, and fold over onto our food. We've even seen liners fly loose and get scorched while cooking! Our favorite solution is to LOCK IT DOWN. If your air-fryer basket is magnetic (test it with a regular magnet!), pop on a few of these silicone-coated magnets to firmly hold the liner in place. Problem solved.Chew on this:
