PSA: spent $60 on a silicone air fryer liner and it was a total waste

I bought a pack of those perforated silicone liners from Amazon about 3 months ago, thinking they'd make cleanup a breeze. Turns out they blocked all the airflow, so my chicken came out soggy and took twice as long to cook. Anyone else had better luck with a different brand or material for liners?

Wait, did you get the same ones I got? I bought a 4 pack of those perforated silicone liners for my Cosori and they were basically useless. The holes are too small or something because I tried making frozen fries and they came out limp and steamed. Tossed them in a drawer after two uses and never looked back.

and honestly that's exactly what happened to me too. I thought maybe if I cranked the heat up higher it would help but nope, still just soggy fries. Tbh I think those liners are only good for like baking cookies or something where you don't need hot air moving around. For anything crispy like fries or chicken nuggets they just trap all the moisture underneath and ruin the whole point of an air fryer. I gave mine to a friend who uses them for roasting veggies in her regular oven and she loves them but for an air fryer they're basically a gimmick.
