Can I Put Paper Towel In Air Fryer?

One of the most common questions is, can I use paper towels in the air fryer? Today, I sat down to tell you why you should never put paper towels in the air fryer and why not!

Can I Put Paper Towel In Air Fryer?

People are always looking for shortcuts and ways to make their lives easier. This is especially true when it comes to cooking. So, the question many people are asking is, can you put paper towels in air fryer? The answer is no; you can not!

If you want to use them, they will pose a fire hazard and cause a fire in your home and your air fryer to combust.

So, never, ever use a paper towel in the air fryer!

Can I put paper towel in air fryer?

While some people use paper towels in their air fryers, most manufacturers do not recommend them. The paper towel may catch fire and create a safety hazard. It can also affect the airflow in the fryer, leading to uneven cooking. It’s best to stick to using aluminum foil or the accessories that come with your air fryer for the best results.

Can you put paper towel in air fryer

Putting paper towels in an air fryer is not recommended as it can potentially cause a fire hazard. Additionally, the paper towel may not allow proper air circulation within the fryer, resulting in uneven cooking. Using the tray or basket with the air fryer is better for optimal cooking results. If you want to absorb excess oil, try using a paper towel to pat the food before or after cooking.

What are the alternatives to paper towels?

Over the years, I have realized that most items you need for your air fryer can be found on Amazon.

Some great products, since you can not use paper towels in the air fryer, are;

Parchment Paper: If you want something to place your food on that is not a paper towel, use a piece of parchment paper, which is made for the air fryer

Silicone Air fryer Liner: Another great tool that will help keep your air fryer clean is Air Freyer Silicone Liners, search Amazon for your model. As there are several different types available.
