Silicone Air Fryer Tongs
Asking how to get fries out of an air fryer sounds like a riddle, but there is a simple answer. You need a set of silicone tweezers. They are ideal for turning hot steaks and fillets mid-cooking and help you avoid the messy and annoying task of trying to pick up a heavy cooking drawer to pour your fries into a bowl.
These tongs are made from stainless steel and food-grade silicone and are dishwasher safe when you’re done. Plus, you can use them in your pans and oven.
In the UK, this 9-inch set from Navani is usually priced at £6.99, but you can get it for just £4.99 during the Prime Day sale.
In the US, an identical set of OXO is available to you for $11.50, down from $15.95 everyday.
Air Fryer Liners
If you hate cleaning your air fryer, liners are what you need. We’ll be honest: using a liner will affect the airflow around your food, so you’ll be more likely to have to turn or shake your food. They will also prevent oil from leaking under the crisper, although they will absorb some of it from the food.
But for some people, it’s a small price to pay to avoid cleaning your air fryer drawers after use – because otherwise, it’s something you absolutely need to do, and ideally after every time you cook in it .
ByCuisine
In the UK, these Bykitchen unbleached parchment liners come in a pack of 50 and measure 6.5 inches in diameter. The 50-piece set is usually priced at £10.99, but you can pick them up for just £5.97 during the Prime Day sale.
In the US, a set of 200 unbleached liners costs $12.79, compared to $19.99 on Prime Day.
If you prefer to avoid sending more waste to the landfill, you can purchase a set of silicone air fryer liners, instead of disposable parchment. Keep in mind that you will obviously still need to wash them, but they are dishwasher safe. Another benefit of this set is that the base is ridged, which allows oil from your food to drain.
Yingrace
In the UK, this set of two 20 x 20cm silicone liners from Yingrace is usually priced at £16.99, but you can pick them up for just £14.44 during the Prime Day sale.
In the US, a set of two 8.5-inch liners from Loveuing would typically cost you $12.99, but you can get them during the Prime Day sale for $10.39.
Oil Spray Bottle
Foods prepared in the freezer can go straight into the fryer without any help, but some foods need a little oil: the key word being small. The secret is to spray your roast potatoes, meat and fish with oil, rather than basting them.
All you need is to keep a countertop spray bottle handy. The Yarramate oil spray bottle is made from BPA-free food grade plastic and glass and has a filling volume of 500ml. It is waterproof and has a second opening that opens with a press when you need a little oil.
Yarramate
In the UK it’s usually priced at £11.99, but you can get it during the Prime Day sale for £10.18.
In the US, the Yarramate Oil Spray Bottle usually sells for $10.99, but it’s available for just $7.99 during the Prime Day sale.
