Baker's Signature Air Fryer Liners Review: 8-Inch, 5-8 Qt

Quick verdict: If you use your air fryer most days and hate scrubbing the basket, Baker's Signature air fryer liners are a cheap, simple fix. You drop a liner in, cook, and throw it away. Just make sure your basket is the right size, because these are 8-inch squares built for 5 to 8 qt baskets.

What these liners do well

The main reason to buy air fryer liners is cleanup. Grease, crumbs and sticky sauces land on the paper instead of the basket. When you're done, you lift the liner out and toss it. Owners often mention how much easier this makes cleanup after breaded foods, wings and anything with a glaze.

The square shape suits the square baskets used by many popular 5 to 8 qt models. A round liner would leave the corners uncovered. The unbleached brown paper is also a plus if you'd rather avoid bleached paper products.

With 125 to 130 liners in a pack, a single box lasts a long time. Most households will get months of daily use out of it.

What to watch out for

• Check your basket size first. An 8-inch square is made for 5 to 8 qt baskets. Smaller or round baskets may need you to trim or fold the liner, and some dual-basket models are narrower than 8 inches.

• Never preheat with an empty liner. The fan can lift a light, empty liner into the heating element. Always put food on the liner before you turn the air fryer on.

• Airflow is reduced. These liners have no holes, so the bottom of the food can crisp a little less than it would on the bare basket. Leave space around the edges, or punch a few small holes if you want more air to reach the bottom.

• Swap them after greasy foods. Pooled oil can smoke at high heat, so use a fresh liner for each fatty batch.

• They are disposable. That means an ongoing cost and more waste than a reusable silicone liner.

Who should buy them

A good fit if: you have a square 5 to 8 qt basket, cook messy or saucy food often, and want the quickest possible cleanup.

Skip them if: your air fryer has a small or round basket, you want the crispiest possible bottoms, or you'd rather buy a reusable silicone liner once.

Bottom line

Baker's Signature air fryer liners don't change how your food cooks. They change how long you spend at the sink afterwards. For a low price you get well over 100 unbleached, non-stick liners that fit most mid-size square baskets. Measure your basket before you order and follow the basic safety tips above.
