9️⃣ Best Budget Air Fryer Liners for Large Ninja AF400 Basket

The Ninja Dual Zone AF400/AF400UK makes it easy to cook two foods at once, but baskets can get grimy fast after marinades, cheese, or fatty foods. Liners keep mess off the base so clean-up is quicker and less scrubbing-heavy.

Why size matters more in the AF400 than smaller air fryers

AF400 baskets are wide, so sizing matters. Aim for a liner that covers the base without tall pleats; too big bunches and blocks airflow, too small lets drips escape to the corners.

Side wall height, crisper plates, and air gaps

Crisping depends on airflow. Use liners like a tidy tray, keep portions in a single layer, and turn/shake halfway. If your liner is solid, rely on the crisper plate so air can reach underneath.

Best practices for perfect fit every cook

For AF400 owners, the sweet spot is a liner that fits neatly, stays flat, and catches drips without blocking circulation. Used correctly, liners reduce cleaning time while keeping results crisp.

Fit test before your first cook

Test-fit the liner in a cold empty basket: it should sit flat with minimal folds and stay below the rim. If you can still place the crisper plate normally, you’re on the right track. Fit is the easiest way to keep crisping strong.

Fit check in under a minute

Quick wins:
• Add paper only when food goes in (no empty preheats).
• Keep edges down and avoid oversized liners with big folds.
• Turn/shake halfway so airflow stays strong.
• Want a quick pick? Check price on Amazon UK or go reusable with Check price on Amazon UK.

Mini buying checklist: measure the inner basket base and avoid tall pleats. The best size is the one that covers the base while leaving airflow pathways open.

Safe-use reminder: size matters for safety too—big folds can lift. Choose a liner that sits flat and stays below the rim, and always keep it weighed down with food.

Routine tip: treat liners as an occasional helper, not a requirement. Use them for messy cooks, skip them for ultra-crispy jobs, and you’ll get the best balance of texture, convenience, and cost.

Extra tip: if liners bunch up, go one size smaller. A little uncovered edge is better than thick folds that trap steam.

FAQ

Should the liner cover the whole basket?

Cover the base and a little up the sides, but avoid bunching or folding that blocks airflow.

Can I use round liners in a square basket?

You can, but you may waste space and get pooling. A square/rectangular liner usually fits better.

What if the liner is slightly too big?

If it folds up, it can catch air. Consider a smaller size or flatten the rim carefully under the crisper plate.

Do perforated liners need exact sizing?

Yes—holes work best when the liner sits flat and doesn’t overlap or crease.
