Best Air Fryer Liners of 2026

A two-pack of reusable trays is a different purchase from a box of paper, and that is the point. The PINTAUR liners are molded silicone, rectangular, and sized at 8.67 by 5.9 inches with a 2.68-inch depth, so they are built for the two drawers of an 8- to 10-quart dual-basket fryer rather than a single round basket. They are listed for Ninja DZ201, DZ401, DZ550, and DZ302, plus COSORI 9-quart and other dual-basket models. We like them for a two-drawer machine that gets used several times a week.

The silicone is food-grade and dishwasher-safe, and the rigid walls make the tray easier to lift out than a sheet of parchment. It catches grease and crumbs, keeps the drawer cleaner, and does not need to be restocked. We appreciate the raised sides for saucy food, though they also mean the tray itself needs washing. That is the trade: you are swapping a disposable sheet for a small dishwashing step, and the two trays alternate through the week.

Fit is the catch. This is not a universal liner; it is shaped for the wider, shallower drawers of 8- to 10-quart dual-basket fryers, and it will not suit a single 5-quart basket. If your machine has one round or square drawer, stay with a paper liner cut to that shape. For a two-drawer Ninja or similar, the reusable set is the cleaner long-term answer, especially if you dislike throwing away a sheet after every batch of fries.

Round baskets and square liners are a compromise: the corners of the paper have nowhere to go, so they fold up or press against the side. The Baker's Signature liners are cut as 8-inch rounds for 5- to 8-quart baskets, and that shape is the reason to choose them over the square top pick. If your basket is circular, this is the liner that matches it instead of fighting it.

The box holds 250 unbleached wood-pulp liners, and the maker lists compatibility with 20-centimeter Ninja, Gourmia, Chefman, and PowerXL Instant Pot baskets in the 4.7- to 7.5-liter range, plus general oven and baking use. The round edge sits more evenly around a circular basket, which is the detail that matters when hot air is moving around the food. The paper is pre-cut, so there is no folding or tearing before it goes in.

We recommend this one for round-basket owners who want a big box and do not want to think about restocking. A round liner leaves the corners of a square basket uncovered, so it is a poor match for a square fryer. For a round 5- to 8-quart basket, though, the fit is the feature: fewer curled edges, less food slipping underneath, and a clean basket at the end.

Small baskets are where oversized liners go wrong: an 8-inch square can climb the walls, block airflow, and leave the edges near the heating element. The Vailnd 6.5-inch square is cut for the smaller end of the market, specifically 3- to 5-quart baskets, and it gives those fryers a liner that sits down instead of bunching up. We think that is the whole point of this size, and it is why we keep it in the small-basket slot rather than treating it as a smaller version of the top pick.

The package has 125 sheets in a clear, hangable box, so storage is less of an event than the 250-count boxes. The paper is food-grade parchment with a silicone coating, unbleached and nonstick, and the square bowl shape is meant to keep food residue off the basket walls. We appreciate the compact box for drawers and small kitchens, and the 6.5-inch bottom is the dimension that decides whether this liner is right for you.

The limitation is right in the name: 6.5 inches is not going to cover a 5- to 8-quart basket, and it costs more per liner than the larger packs. If you own a compact fryer, that premium buys a better fit and less fiddling. If you own a family-size basket, buy the 8-inch version and skip this one.

Nine inches across the top and 8 inches across the base is a lot of liner. The Mutvle square is made for 5- to 8-quart air fryers, but its 1.8-inch depth and 8-inch bottom are aimed at the larger end of that range, where an 8-inch liner can leave the sides exposed. We recommend it when you want the paper to come up higher around a whole chicken, a pile of fries, or a messy tray of vegetables.

The paper is unbleached wood pulp with a plant-based oil treatment, and the maker lists it as 1.5 times thicker than ordinary parchment. That thickness is useful when you are lifting a loaded liner out of the basket, though it does not turn parchment into a rigid tray. The square bowl shape is pre-cut, so there is no folding or tearing; you open the box, set it in, and cook.

The trade-off is the size. A 9-inch liner can be too big for a compact basket, and the paper can still feel flimsy when you turn food halfway through cooking. We like the larger footprint for family-size batches, but we don't recommend forcing it into a 5-quart fryer with a small basket. Measure the basket bottom before you buy; this is the pick for a genuinely large square basket.

Ninja owners have a fit problem that generic liners often miss: the AF101 is a 4-quart basket, and an 8-inch round liner can be more paper than the basket needs. The SIUDANGKA liners are cut at 7.9 inches in a round bowl shape and are listed for the Ninja AF101 4-quart, AF150 5.5-quart, and AF161, plus most 4- to 8-quart baskets. If you have been folding a bigger liner down to size, this is the cut that removes that step.

The paper is raw wood pulp with a food-grade silicone coating, unbleached and rated to 450°F, and the package includes 125 liners. The maker prints a direct warning: do not use the liner without food, keep it away from direct flame, and press it into the basket before cooking. We appreciate that warning being on the package. Parchment is only as safe as its placement, and a liner sized to the basket is easier to keep below the heating element.

We recommend these for Ninja 4- to 5.5-quart baskets and other round 4- to 8-quart fryers where a smaller round cut fits better than the 8-inch standard. The edges can flatten as the fan runs, so turn food gently and keep the paper under the food rather than letting it stand up the sides. For a larger 8-quart basket, the extra width of an 8-inch round is worth having; for the compact Ninja, this is the cleaner match.

The GOAUS instructions lead with the warning, not the liner: do not preheat with an empty paper liner, keep food on it, and keep the paper away from the heating element. That is the right instruction for any parchment liner, and it is unusually prominent here. The liners themselves are 7.9-inch squares for 5- to 8-quart baskets, 150 to a pack, with a 428°F heat rating.

The square bowl shape is pre-cut with sides, so it drops into a square basket without folding. The paper is unbleached and coated to resist oil and water, and the 7.9-inch base is a sensible middle ground for baskets that are not quite 8 inches across. We like that combination for everyday cooking: broad enough to catch crumbs, not so tall that the edges stand up into the fan.

We rank this just behind the top pick because the pack is smaller and the cost per liner is higher than the 250-count Vailnd. The trade is clearer safety guidance and a box that is easier to store. If you want one less thing to remember, the printed warning is a genuine advantage; if you are feeding a family several times a week, the bigger box wins.

The limitation is ordinary parchment behavior: it needs food to hold it down, and a 7.9-inch square is not the right cut for a round basket. Used with those limits in mind, it is a practical 150-sheet box with the clearest use instructions in this group.
