Ninja silicone liner things…

[Digby]

We have a 'Ninja Foodi MAX Dual Zone Digital Air Fryer, 2 Drawers, 9.5L' (shameless copy paste there) and I'm lost in a world of silicone liners.

Just when I think I have made my mind up, I read a few extra reviews and it turns out some are too small - despite others saying they fit well, some apparently smell, some make the food taste funny, some are impossible to clean, others are obviously made from substances which should never be put near food....

Does anyone have a link to some that use almost all of the space in the draws of this fryer and which won't make the food taste like chemicals?

We have the identical fryer and trying to find an answer is as difficult as finding a Manchester football team supporter in Manchester.

You need to be more specific.

We just use the paper disposable ones.

My wife (not bing sexist, she hates my cooking) bought a couple of rolls of silicon liner and cut them to size.
This is not just for baking, but also cooking chicken etc in a conventional fan oven.

We have not had any issues of the type you list.
They have been used lots of time and are very easy to wash because nothing sticks to them

I vaguely seem to remember they came from Lakeland, are guaranteed to 260 degrees centigrade, and the good things about Lakeland are the quality of what they sell and their great customer service if you have issues.

However, they also sell air fryer liners, also guaranteed to 260 degrees centigrade.

I've never found a need for liners; you either have the wash the liner or the drawer so what's the difference?

These fit perfectly, no taste, easy to clean;

We bought exactly those, they smelt plasticky when cooking and tainted the food. It was the exact same set. Sent back to Amazon for my money back

Interesting, I did cook nothing in it for the first time just in case, certainly no issues for me

I thought this, then I bought some liners, and still think this. In fact, due to the fact they squish in every direction and have grooves on them, the liners are a complete pain to clean (unless you use the dishwasher).

The ones I got also don't fit very well if you want to still use the included Ninja trivet/tray to put the food on (it's too tight) and they also only extend about halfway up the drawer so if you have anything that spits or you shake whatever you're cooking, you'll need to clean the drawer anyway.

I didn't get any plastic taste or smell, but they're still ste.

These are the ones I got: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0C1ZJ8TST/ref...

I was of the same opinion when I was using a kitchen sponge or cloth, pain in the ass. But then I tried a washing up brush with bristles and it seems to clean it way easier

Inconsistent Chinese production?

I don't want to out the drawers in the dishwasher as it eats away at the non stick, so liners make sense to me for things that dont need the circulation you get via the crisper plate. I am currently using pyrex dishes that are exactly the right size, but they are very hard to get out when hot.

Use tin foil.

Also works for oven roasting trays.
