One of the reasons, I don’t give pan sizes is twofold: 1. Use what you have in the house, any oven safe pan, will work, 2: Every air fryer is slightly different, and you need to choose a pan (especially for baking that is slightly smaller than your air fryer basket, or air fryer oven, and as you know there are many many different sizes: I used this: https://amzn.to/49RYgSn But look at your air fryer most sizes are available if you look it up, and buy something smaller.
