Wasted $40 on a silicone liner for my air fryer and it was a disaster

I bought a fancy silicone liner from Amazon thinking it would make cleanup easier, but after three uses it started melting at the edges. The food stuck way worse than the bare basket, and it actually trapped heat so my fries came out soggy. I threw it in the trash after a week, so that's $40 down the drain. Has anyone else had bad luck with those silicone air fryer liners?

That's just awful, $40 is a lot to throw away on something that didn't even work. I bought a cheaper brand from a local store for about $12 and it gave me the same exact problems you described. The melting edges are what really gets me, that can't be safe for cooking if it's breaking down at high heat. Makes you wonder what kind of chemicals are in that stuff when it starts to warp and bubble like that. Soggy fries would be the last straw for me too, the whole point of an air fryer is crispy food. Sorry you had to learn the hard way, but thanks for warning the rest of us.

Respectfully disagree, $12 liners are probably worse for the same melting issues.
