That $40 air fryer silicone liner I bought off Amazon was a sticky disaster

I spent 40 bucks on a set of those silicone liners to keep my basket clean, and after three uses they all warped and fused to the chicken wings like melted plastic. Has anyone found a liner that actually survives the heat and doesn't ruin dinner?

Remember when air fryers first hit the market 5 years ago?

I dug out my old air fryer cookbook from 2019 last week and laughed at how many recipes just called for frozen fries. Now I'm making salmon and roasted veggies in mine three times a week, who else has seen their air fryer cooking change that much?

Fired up my air fryer at my sister's place outside Dallas and her smoke alarm went off within 2 minutes

I brought my air fryer over to my sister's house last weekend to make some buffalo cauliflower for a family get together. I preheated it like normal and threw in the florets tossed in oil and sauce. Not even 2 minutes later that smoke alarm starts screaming and her whole kitchen fills with this thin gray smoke. Turns out her oven vent hood doesn't actually vent outside it just recirculates the air back into the room. My air fryer works fine at my place because my kitchen has a window right by the stove. She was telling me she's had this issue every time she tries to cook anything with oil in her oven or on the stovetop. Has anyone else run into this problem with air fryers setting off sensitive smoke alarms in older apartments or houses?

Air fryer vs oven for frozen fries - I finally picked one

Honestly I spent like 3 months going back and forth between using my air fryer and my regular oven for frozen french fries. The oven takes 25 minutes and they come out kind of limp. Air fryer does it in 12 minutes and they're crispy every time. So I finally ditched the oven for fries and it's a game changer. Anyone else make the switch and never look back?

Just realized half the people in this sub are crowding their air fryer like a Tetris game

I stopped preheating my air fryer and got better results

Spent 45 minutes trying to figure out why my chicken was still raw inside

Noticed my air fryer chicken thighs were dry until I started brining them in pickle juice for 20 minutes last week

Realized I was overcrowding my air fryer every single time

Warning: parchment paper nearly wrecked my air fryer basket last night

Split second choice: ranch dressing or hot sauce on air fryer wings?

Why does everyone think you have to preheat an air fryer?

Tried frozen chicken wings at 400F vs 380F and the 20 degree difference turned them from rubber to crispy

Just realized I've been preheating my air fryer wrong for 2 years

TIL air fryer baskets at a diner near me get used for everything

Found a trick for crispy tofu at a Vietnamese spot in Houston

Air fryer wings used to take me 45 minutes of flipping and I just got them done in 18 minutes flat

My sister told me my chicken wings were rubbery and she was right

My sister told me I was overcooking chicken thighs. She was right.
