Shoutout to parchment paper liners for air fryer basket

I was always scrubbing my air fryer basket after every use, like a solid 10 minutes with a brush. Then my sister told me to try those pre-cut parchment paper liners with holes in them. Last night I made breaded chicken thighs at 400F for 18 minutes and the basket barely had a crumb on it. Has anyone else found a specific brand of these liners that hold up better than others?

Wait have you tried reusing the parchment? I know it sounds cheap but I flip mine over for a second batch of something less greasy like veggies. Also some brands claim to be oven safe up to certain temps but I had one batch of liners that started turning brown at 400F, that can't be good. The cheap store brand ones actually held up better for me than the fancy online ones. One thing nobody talks about is poking extra holes yourself if the premade ones have too few, helps with airflow so the food actually crisps up.

Man I had the exact same problem with scrubbing until my sister hooked me up too. @christopher_flores46 you are spot on about flipping them over for veggies, I did that last night with some broccoli and it worked perfect. The cheap store brand ones have been more reliable for me than the expensive ones from Amazon that promised high heat but browned up at 375. I also started poking extra holes with a fork on the liners that come with only a few holes because my chicken wings weren't getting crispy enough. That little trick changed everything for me.
