Quick answer: The air fryer accessories most worth buying are reusable silicone liners (for faster clean-up), an oil sprayer (for a light, even coat of oil), a double-layer rack (to cook more at once), heat-safe silicone-tipped tongs and an instant-read meat thermometer. Always check the accessory fits your basket size and is rated for at least 200–230°C.
The 5 accessories worth having
- Silicone liners: reusable and dishwasher-safe, and they stop food sticking to the basket.
- Oil sprayer: gives crispier results with far less oil than pouring.
- Double-layer rack: lets you cook two layers at once, useful for families.
- Silicone-tipped tongs: protect the non-stick coating of your basket.
- Meat thermometer: confirms chicken and meat are cooked safely.
What to skip
- Accessories that block the airflow around the basket, which leads to uneven cooking.
- Paper liners without holes in larger, high-power air fryers, where they can lift into the heating element.
Sizing and safety
- Measure your basket's diameter (round) or length and width (square) before buying.
- Look for food-grade, BPA-free materials rated for your air fryer's maximum temperature.
- Never run the air fryer with a loose liner and no food on it.
