There are many air fryer liners available including quite thick silicone ones. Mini oven types will generally require some kind of tray like with a regular large oven although most come with crisper racks to use. Basket and rotary type air fryers are designed to be used without liners. Unless otherwise stated, I do not use liners when air frying. I’ve now actually retired by Actifry in favour of having my two basket type fryers. My 2 in 1 version like the one I’ve linked also has a rotating tray for things that could be broken up by a paddle, but the height clearance with the lid isn’t deep enough to use it to cook some items like sausage rolls. They do however make the best chips and roasted veg. Rotary types are not usually good for recipes where the food is breaded, glazed, likely to break up or in a tray/container. This is the type I used for years – the most common is a Tefal Actifry. Round air fryers with a paddle in the centre that rotates to move the food. I’ve since bought this version to use for some recipes where my smaller model was just too small. The unit is no larger than the 3.8 litre model on the outside but does have a larger internal basket capacity. This is the Cosori 4.7L (CAF-L501) with a 4.7 litre basket. I’ve also recommended to several friends and family the model with a slightly larger basket. The square(ish) shaped basket is 21cm x 21cm and 24cm on the diagonal. It isn’t an overly expensive or fancy model. I mostly use a Cosori Lite 3.8L (CAF-LI401S) with a 3.8 litre capacity. This is the type that you’ll see in the images in this recipe. Some larger models have two drawers so different items can be cooked at different temperatures or for different times. Food isn’t usually visible whilst cooking. A boxy type unit has a pull out drawer/basket. These are what I would consider to be the most common, especially in the UK. I consider there to be 4 main types: Basket Air Fryers Nope! The term air fryer is now used very broadly.
