Mandoline
Before you can air fry, you need to prep. A mandoline slicer allows for the crunchiest chips, easy onion rings, sliced pickles and more. Choose from a thicker slice to julienne style, depending on what the recipe requires. Make sure to follow these mandoline safety tips.
Grill Pan
Designed with a perforated surface, a grill pan allows for grilling and searing meat (like these steak recipes), fish and vegetables in your air fryer. This nonstick pan is dishwasher safe for easy cleanup.
Test Kitchen tip: Before you buy, make sure your air fryer model supports a grill pan. Here’s our entire air fryer guide.
Heat-Resistant Tongs
Air fryers get hot, so heat-resistant tongs are a great way to maneuver food in, out and around the air fryer basket. Sturdy and dishwasher safe, stainless steel tongs with silicone heads make gripping food easy while protecting your fingers and arms.
Air Fryer Liners
Non-toxic and non-stick, air fryer liners are a great little investment. The liners pull double duty, stopping food from sticking while keeping the air fryer clean. You’ll never worry about burned-on chocolate chip cookies ever again.
Air Fryer Rack
Racks add versatility to the air fryer. Sold in a two-pack, the racks maximize surface cooking. Additionally, use the skewer rack for kabobs or other dishes like peach-bourbon wings. Bonus: These racks are dishwasher safe for easy cleanup.
Baking Pans
Yes, you can make baked goods and these other surprising foods in your air fryer. It just takes the right accessory. Use a barrel pan or round pan for breads, pizza, cakes and more.
Oil Sprayer
One of the benefits of an air fryer is cooking with less oil. An oil sprayer is the secret to getting golden-brown food from your air fryer. Use with your favorite oil prior to air frying.
Thermapen
Correct cooking times are the key to air frying, but a double-check is never a bad idea. An instant-read thermometer can make sure your food is cooked through in even the thickest spots. If you’re unsure what the temperature should be, check out this guide to food-safe cooking temperatures.
Silicone Cups
These reusable silicone cups can create recipes like egg cups and cupcakes. Make a few batches of the same food or create different personalized dishes in one round of air frying.
Accessory Kit
Don’t want to purchase everything separately? Get an air fryer accessory kit that includes pans, racks, silicone molds and everything else you’ll need to maximize use of your air fryer. Knowing these tips for air fryer success will help too.
