Can you put aluminum foil in an air fryer? The simple answer is yes. However, there are certain things that you need to consider before you do so. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Firstly, let us consider the benefit of using aluminum foil\nin your air fryer. The big benefit is that it reduces the clean up after you have\ncooked. Grease drips onto the aluminum foil which is then removed after\ncooking. The clean up after that should be very simple\u2026which is always good\nnews!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, there are things that you need to consider. The\nholes in your air fryer basket are there for a reason. An air fryer works on\nrapid circulation of air. If you block those holes in the basket, the\neffectiveness of the air fryer is reduced. You therefore need to ensure that you\nput holes in the aluminum foil for your air fryer to continue to cook\neffectively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you are considering lining your basket in aluminum, make\nsure that it does not go over the basket edge. There may be a chance that it touches\nthe heating element. This is dangerous and can cause burning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The result would also be the same if you lined your air\nfryer basket without placing any food on it to weigh it down. Potentially, it\ncould be sucked into the heating element. Again, this can be dangerous and cause\nburning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
