Air Fryer Accessories

The right accessories change what an air fryer can do. A double-layer rack cooks a second level of wings, a silicone liner keeps marinades off the basket coating, parchment liners make sticky foods a lift-out cleanup, and a cake barrel or pizza pan turns the fryer into a small oven for baking. The wrong accessories, though, block airflow, smoke at temperature, or simply do not fit your basket, which is why sizing and material matter more here than brand names.

Start by measuring your basket interior and noting its shape, round or square, and your fryer's maximum temperature. Then match accessories to how you actually cook: liners for messy and sticky foods, racks for capacity, pans for baking and reheating. The guides below compare the major kits, settle the silicone versus parchment question, and cover the smoking, curling, and airflow problems accessory owners run into most.

Choosing within this hub starts with the fryer already on your counter. COSORI 5.8 quart owners can start with the matched COSORI set, Ninja owners should stay with the factory kit for their exact model, and Philips owners have a fitted baking kit. Everyone else should buy by measurement: liners sized to the basket base for messy everyday cooking, stainless racks when batch size is the limit, and a fitted pan for baking. The reviews, comparisons, and fixes below help you sequence those purchases sensibly.
