Nothing beats cooking with an air fryer to get you crispy, tender food with a fraction of the oil. Air fryers use an electric radiator and a high-velocity fan to quickly circulate hot, dry air around your food. This method of cooking is not only quick, but it is an excellent way to recreate some of our favourite crispy foods that usually call for a deep-fryer. Air fryer french fries, anyone? What we don’t love, however, is cleaning out that pesky fryer
basket. Nothing kills the fun more than having to rinse breadcrumbs out of a million little plastic holes. For this reason we love using parchment paper to keep air-frying convenient, healthy and delicious. It's also a more sustainable option than lining your air fryer with aluminum foil. Lining your air fryer basket with a round of parchment paper is the perfect way to keep your air fryer squeaky clean and slash the time it takes to clean up. It just got a whole lot easier to make air fryer chicken drumsticks! While you can tear a piece of parchment paper from a roll and cut it to size for you fryer basket, you can up the convenience one step further with pre-cut, perforated parchment paper rounds. With holes to help the hot air circulate and cook your food to perfection, our air fryer liners suit the job perfectly.  Parchment paper can handle the heat inside your air fryer - up to 428°F (220°C). To get the best results, add the parchment paper to the air fryer basket at the same time as you add your ingredients. This prevents the paper from lifting up and coming into contact with the heating element while cooking. When you’re done, clean up is as easy as tossing the parchment paper in the compost bin. Our parchment paper is, after all, fully biodegradable and compostable.

Also known as bakery paper, this nonstick, grease-resistant surface helps keep the bottom of your baked goods burn-free and allows for super-easy cleanup. But if you’re giving your range and sheet pans a break, and turning to your air fryer for smaller meals, you might wonder if it’s smart to use parchment paper inside these miniature convection ovens. Larry Ciufo, the CR test engineer who oversees air fryer testing, warns that while you can use parchment paper inside an air fryer, it’s not recommended for regular use there. “It has the potential to block 99 percent of the fryer’s airflow,” Ciufo says. Meredith Laurence, author of "Air Fry Everything," concurs: “While that may not be a problem for dough-based recipes, it can present a bit of an issue for dishes where grease needs to drain away from the food,” she says. That said, she does use parchment for certain recipes. “One of my favorite ways to do so is when cooking fish en papillote,” says Laurence, known by her followers as the Blue Jean Chef. “The parchment paper traps the steam and keeps the fish moist, while the air fryer cooks it quickly. It also means that there is no clean up at the end.” En papillote (“in paper” in French) is a cooking method that involves placing food—typically vegetables, or fillets of fish or meat—inside a folded pouch of parchment paper (or foil). Brandi Crawford, author of "The Super Easy Air Fryer Cookbook," suggests using parchment paper designed for use with an air fryer when cooking these types of dishes. “The internal heat inside air fryers requires circulation, and air fryer parchment paper has perforated holes in it to help with that circulation,” she says. A 10-pack of air fryer liners can run you less than $10 dollars. A word of caution if you do go this route: Make sure the food is heavy enough to keep the parchment paper in place. Otherwise, it can blow up toward the heating element, creating a fire risk. If you’re not using the parchment paper for baked goods or steaming purposes, consider a reusable silicone liner. This dishwasher-safe accessory can stand in place of a perforated parchment paper liner, and cuts down on waste. CR’s test engineers have put dozens of air fryers to the test. Below are the top three from our ratings in alphabetical order. For our complete rundown, see CR’s air fryer ratings.
