- In this video I look at the most popular air fryers on the market and tell you which ones are worth buying and what you may have at home already that you can use in your air fryer. This video is mostly aimed at people who are using air fryers which have drawers, but there's useful information in it for everyone with an air fryer.

A great video for the new air fryer owner like me. I learnt a lot from it and thanks for taking the time and effort to make it and a BIG thumbs 👍 up. Cheers.
Thanks for the comment Kym!
Don't listen about the silicone baskets. They are easy to clean and they are great.
Perfect, exactly what I needed to know - thank you!
Thanks for the comment
I'm using my rack to dehydrate - cherry tomatoes yesterday and I'm trying mushrooms today. I doubt if I'll use it for anything else though.
Thank you. Yet another great video from yourself.
Thanks Andy, really appreciate the comment!
Some great tips there, thank you.
Thank you . Please carry on
Very nice review. I have one of the shelf based air fryers - looks like a mini conventional oven. 3 racks but not a huge amount of 'clearance' between them if you use all 3. To stop cross contamination the urge is to put food on the top / middle / higher rack on some kind of baking tray. That's fine BUT make sure that your baking tray or rack allows plenty of air flow around it otherwise the stuff at the bottom won't cook and you will probably overheat the electronics in the top of the air fryer. I found some really sturdy stainless baking trays with racks (on Amazon) that occupy maybe 60% of the shelf / rack. I also found a 4 'pot' yorkshire pudding tin that occupies the full dimensions of the air fryer... that goes on the bottom(not even on a rack) then the middle rack has protein on a tray and the top shelf gets roast potatoes, parsnips etc. - I'm using a Sunday lunch example. You might get away with fabricating a suitable size tray from heavy aluminium foil but it does need to be pretty weighed down with food or it will act as a sail and lift off. I have also found a number of ceramic dishes etc. that fit just fine so fish pies, lasaggne etc. are easy to do but I tend to put them on the lowest rack to avoid overheating the electronics - you can always stick some garlic bread on the top shelf for the last 10 or 15 mins of cooking.
Great and informative, thank you so much for this!
No problem, thanks for the comment!
Oh Clara what another wonderful video. Like many i have looked at all accessories for my air fryer and this video is fantastic to point out which are the better buys. Thank you as always for the wonderful video❤
Thankyou for the valuable information. ❤

Instead of a conversion chart, multiply oven times and/or oven temperatures by 0.8. That is based on your chart.
That works a treat for me. The 0.8 rule is amazing. Thank you
thank you
Thanks for the comment
Thank you so much

hi, I printed off a timetable of when food is cooked, for free and cello taped it inside my cupboard door. Thanks
I like the silicon bakeware but I do have to agree with you on the heat transfer issue.I'm new to Air Frying so I'm still just dipping my toe in with main meals and snack foods at the moment. Saying that I've just realised I used the main oven this morning to cook spare ribs instead of the Air Fryer. I now microwave my pasties/sausage rolls for a minute or 2 then put them in the Air Fryer for the pre-heat cycle to crisp them up, no-one likes soggy pastry from the microwave.
Yes microwave and air fryer are a great combination, particularly for baked potatoes!
Enjoyed the air fryer 'accessories' video and found it most informative. Would like a review of the Ninja Speedi air frier and its double element (one fan assisted at the top and a second at the bottom) heating for the food. Great for rice, pasta, lentils etc, just pour in dry then pour on water and add some frozen veg. Stir, turn on for approx 15 minutes and ready meal!
I actually have the Speedi waiting for review. I bought it in Black Friday, thanks for the feedback.
I wish I'd seen this before I bought a huge silicone liner for my Flexdrawer! As soon as I held it I knew I'd never use it.
I’m seriously considering doing a video about ways to use silicone liners that you don’t use in an air fryer! 😆
NEW VIEWER---EXCELLENT
Thanks, really appreciate the comment
Great review! I found that the rack for my Instant Pot works in my air fryer! It's a bit smaller but it does work if I ever find I need one. (They're helpful, too, in holding down parchment paper.) Like you've pointed out for several of these, we might already have something in our kitchen that will work rather than purchasing something especially for an AF.
On the spray oil, I have read that as long as it's a non-aerosol spray pump that only contains the oil, then they're safe to use. I have found several of these locally. I use the spray pumps with only avocado oil, no propellent or anything else.
Yes there are definitely safe ones out there, but as a general guide I try to steer people away from pre-filled to be safe because I think most people don’t look closely enough at the ingredients! Thanks for the comment.
@@CandidClara I read the ingredients on everything, but I do know people who never look at the ingredients, only the nutrition lable. So I can understand that!
Very helpful! Thank you! Starting to wonder if I’ve made a mistake purchasing the smaller 7litre opposed to the 9 - what size is your air fryer?
I think you might find this video helpful! ua-cam.com/video/425oE09Y7FM/v-deo.htmlsi=vA9maYjiOFbE2KE7
My current air fryer is the Cosori which is between the two Ninja sizes (I’ve also owned both Ninjas!)

My question is are all these accessories safe and healthy to use?
Ooops, I have used pre filled Bertolli olive oil sprayer in our air fryer. It states propellant free, oil dispensed using pure air, so is this product safe to use? Excellent video, you saved us from silicone liners.
No that one will be fine, it’s really the “light” ones that cause problems.
Bought a silicone liner and will never get one again. They are a royal pain to clean and remove burnt food and stains. Gave it to my daughter who hated it and now it sits in my grandson's bedroom full of crayons lol
This is the best use I have heard for it yet! Perhaps I should make a video about uses for silicone liners you bought and don’t use! 😆
@@CandidClara LOL! Thank you for your reply. Happy cooking! :)
We hardly use salt. If you put salt on potatoes to crisp, jacket. Can you taste the salt? This was very helpful
I would worry about the salt all blowing off under the fan
Cant find the link for the conversion app. Where is it? Karen
It’s in the description
If I fry fries on racks is there no longer a need to flip or shake the fries?
I’m afraid I can’t answer this because I never use a rack, just stick them on the crisper plate and shake halfway, the shaking is half the fun! :-)
I haven’t joined the air fryer generation. I just do what my mother and grandmother did when they put the oven on… fill it up with food which will be eaten later in the week. It works out just as cheap and you gain in time throughout the week.
And yet you’re still here…. 🤷♀️🤔😆
Not as cheap. Oh, you mean due to cooking in bulk. Yea in that case an oven may be required, if the bigger dual air fryers aren't enough. Or a benchtop oven...
Though even then, it won't be much more (potentially) energy to use the air fryer even twice, over an oven.
Some things just don't fit in an air fryer... and other times you just don't need to cook all that much food. Not every food-cooking session is a big meal-planning cook-up.
But they had big families to cook for. I have just me. Using the oven is an expensive waste. It's not the 1950's anymore, families are smaller and living situations many varied.
I've just been spending an inordinate amount of time researching a reliable oil spray bottle which actually sprays a mist rather than a solid stream of oil. Judging by the many reviews on Amazon etc. for a variety of bottles, this seems to be a real problem with these products irrespective of how much you spend. How have you overcome this problem Clara?
You are correct, it is a problem and I have yet to find a perfect solution, just a “ok” solution… let me know if you find the perfect one!
“And catch fire” yeah not worth it. Lol
Someone always does it, usually a child! 🫣😁
Oh honestly. You obviously don't have experience of using silicone liners do you? I use them in my Ninja dual air fryer. They have ridged bottoms yes. Oh, lord how do they get clean? I rinse them under a hot water tap, then I turn them inside out and put them in the dishwasher. Now, that wasn't rocket science was it? They come out perfectly clean. So please stop telling people that they are hard to clean, or they are not useful. They are and the food cooks in exactly the same way.
Very useful suggestions! Will subsxribe.
Thank you Roger!
