Air fryers are an incredibly useful kitchen gadget, cooking food quickly and using way less energy than a conventional oven. Whether you snapped one up for a bargain price in the Black Friday sale, or you've been using yours for years, you might have found that washing them can be a hassle.

Usually fitted with one or two drawers, the user has to slide these out and submerge them into soapy water for a scrubbing session, which can often be difficult if there is burnt-on food and hard to clean grease. Thankfully, this doesn't have to be the case as Amazon has a handy accessory that shoppers are praising as "ideal to keep drawers clean."

These £6.99 Silicone Air Fryer Liners are soft and flexible, so they can easily slot into an air fryer and then be removed and put in the dishwasher after the food is cooked. The bottom of the air fryer liners are specially designed with soft silicone lines so that air can still circulate, leading to crisp and evenly cooked items.

One user was concerned that their food may take a little longer to cook as the silicone liners have no holes, however, they found that "the little ridges deal with that and food cooks evenly and well."

Another person said, "these are great - so much easier than having to clean the actual air fryer," while a third added, "it takes a lot of hassle out of washing the drawers as you just lift them out and wash them. The liners keep the drawers spotless and are easy to clean."

They are compatible with air fryers that have a fryer basket larger than 19.5×12.7×7cm, such as the Ninja Foodi Dual Zone Air Fryer, with one customer saying, "great silicone pots for use with Ninja Foodi. All food juices are contained in the pots and so easy to clean afterwards. Just turn them inside out and wash in hot soapy water - job done!"

Several people said cooks need to be careful when lifting the liners out of the air fryer as despite featuring handles, "these liners can get very hot so use tongs for removal from drawers." Alternatively, Amazon sell a 50-pack of disposable liners for £5.98, instead of their original price of £10.99. The grease-proof liners comes in a variety of shapes and sizes to fit all air fryers.

Lakeland are also making cleaning your air fryer quick and easy with their £12.99 Air Fryer Liners. One person said: "Excellent product which protects my air fryer from food being stuck on bottom," however, another was disappointed as they found that their, "food cooks much better without it."
