Product Overview: Air Fryer Liners Disposable Compatible with COSORI Air Fryer 6 Qt, 100 Pcs Unbleached Parchment Paper for 5-8 Qt 7.9 Inch Square Parchment Paper for Baking Non-Stick

We’ve tested a lot of accessories for air frying, and these pre-cut unbleached parchment liners promise a simpler routine. They’re sold as a pack of 100 liners designed to fit 5–8 qt baskets and to match COSORI 6 qt models, with a claimed heat resistance up to 430°F and a non-stick surface to make cleanup faster.

What we receive in the package

When we open the box, we get 100 pre-cut square liners sized to sit neatly in the basket. The set is designed so we don’t need to trim or fold sheets before cooking, which saves time and reduces waste from trial-and-error fitting.

Key Features

We want to know what makes these liners worth buying, so we look at the core claims and whether they hold up in everyday use. Below we summarize the most important attributes and how they matter to us.

Food-grade & Temperature Resistance

The liners are made from unbleached parchment paper labeled as food-grade and safe for cooking. They are rated to withstand temperatures up to 430°F, which is adequate for most air frying and baking tasks we perform.

Accurate Compatibility

These liners are specifically marketed as compatible with COSORI 6 qt models and fit baskets for 5–8 qt air fryers. The pre-cut shape aims to match the typical 7.9 inch square basket, so we rarely need to fold or trim to achieve a good fit.

Non-stick & Easy Cleanup

The parchment has a non-stick finish that prevents most foods from sticking to the basket. In our tests, bacon, cookies, fish fillets, and roasted vegetables released cleanly; this means fewer scrubs and less time spent cleaning the fryer.

Quick & Convenient

Because the liners are pre-cut, we can place them directly into the basket and start cooking. This convenience is one of the biggest day-to-day benefits: no measuring, trimming, or fitting, and we can just toss used liners after use.

Safe Usage Tips Included

The product recommends common-sense precautions: check fryer size before using, add food before heating to prevent the liner from lifting, avoid heating an empty liner, and ensure the liner does not contact the heating element. Those tips protect the liner from ignition risk and prevent airflow blockage.

Performance in Real Cooking

We tested a range of foods to see how the liners perform in everyday cooking scenarios. We look at crispness, airflow impact, and how easily foods release from the liner.

Fries, Onion Rings, and Crispy Snacks

For fries and onion rings we found the liners did not inhibit crisping when we avoided overloading the basket. Because the liners sit flat and do not obstruct the basket vents, hot air circulates well and fries became crisp within typical cook times.

Bacon and Greasy Foods

Bacon rendered grease onto the liner without sticking excessively, and we could lift the liner to discard grease easily. The liners handled grease well but we made sure not to pour hot grease onto the liner outside of the fryer — that’s a safety precaution we always observe.

Baked Goods: Cookies and Pastries

Cookies and small pastries released cleanly from the parchment, preserving edges and preventing breakage. Browning and texture were comparable to cooking directly on the basket or on a tray, with the added benefit of simpler removal and less basket cleanup.

Fish Fillets and Delicate Proteins

Delicate fish fillets held together nicely on the parchment and didn’t tear or stick. We noticed less flaking and easier transfer from the basket to a plate when using the liner.

Reheating Pizza and Leftovers

Reheating pizza slices and leftovers worked well, and the liner prevented cheese and toppings from making a mess of the basket. We still took care that melted toppings didn’t spill over the liner edges into the fryer base.

Installation & Use

Setting up the liners is straightforward, but we follow a few habits to make the most of them and to avoid issues.

Step-by-step placement

We place the liner in the air fryer basket before putting food inside, but we always add the food immediately after placing the liner to prevent it from lifting during preheating. If a recipe calls for preheating, we preheat without the liner in place.

Avoid touching the heating element

We ensure the liner sits flat and doesn’t curl up against the heating element. If it slaps up into the top, the heat could cause it to smoke or ignite. Adding food right away and not using the liner when the basket is empty reduces that risk.

Single-use and quick disposal

Because these are disposable liners, we discard each piece after use. If a liner is only lightly soiled, we sometimes reuse it within the same cooking session for a quick second item, but we do not recommend multiple uses for fatty or very greasy meals.

Cleaning & Disposal

We like products that reduce our cleaning workload while remaining environmentally responsible where possible.

Basket cleaning after use

The main benefit is clear: once we remove a liner, the basket is usually ready for storage or next use with only a quick wipe if needed. This cutdown in scrubbing saves time and preserves the nonstick coating on basket surfaces.

Environmental considerations

Unbleached parchment uses fewer whitening chemicals than bleached varieties, which we prefer. That said, parchment is often treated with a silicone coating to achieve non-stick properties, which can affect compostability. We recommend checking local composting rules before disposing of liners in green waste; if composting isn’t allowed, the liners should be disposed of in the trash.

Safety Considerations

We take safety seriously with any accessory that contacts heat and an electrical appliance.

Temperature limit and heating behavior

These liners are rated to 430°F, which covers most air fryer recipes. We avoid using them for broil-like applications or in appliances that exceed that temperature, because parchment can brown, smoke, or catch fire if overheated.

Proper usage to prevent lifting

We always add food to the liner before turning the fryer on or preheating. Leaving a liner loose in an empty basket can allow it to flutter and touch the heating element, which is dangerous. Weighted foods keep the liner anchored and ensure consistent cooking.

Avoiding contact with heating elements

We confirm the liner does not protrude beyond the basket or touch the top element. If a basket has tall sides or a perforated plate, we align the liner carefully so it stays within safe boundaries during the entire cook.

Pros and Cons

We like straightforward lists to clarify value. Below we summarize the main strengths and potential drawbacks we observed.

Pros

• Pre-cut size saves time and eliminates trimming for compatible baskets. We appreciate the convenience.
• Non-stick surface reduces food sticking and simplifies cleanup. That’s the biggest daily benefit for us.
• Food-grade, unbleached material reduces chemical exposure compared to bleached parchment. We prefer this for food safety concerns.
• Large quantity (100 pcs) is economical for frequent cooking households. This reduces repeated purchases.

Cons

• Single-use disposability creates ongoing waste. We recommend being mindful of environmental options.
• Not compostable in all areas due to possible silicone coating. We advise checking local rules.
• If used incorrectly (empty preheat or contact with element), there’s a fire risk. We follow safe usage tips strictly.
• Fit is optimized for 5–8 qt baskets; for other sizes trimming may still be required. We suggest measuring your basket before purchasing if you have a non-standard size.

How These Liners Compare to Alternatives

When we shop, we often weigh disposable against reusable options and consider cost, convenience, and environmental impact.

Disposable parchment vs. silicone mats

Silicone reusable mats eliminate single-use waste and can be more durable long-term. However, they require washing and must be sized properly for the basket. The parchment liners win on convenience and quick disposal after messy fats or sticky foods.

Disposable parchment vs. aluminum foil

Foil can be molded for a good fit and withstands high heat, but it may block airflow and can cause uneven cooking when used improperly. Parchment maintains airflow better and is less likely to react with acidic foods.

Pre-cut vs. custom trimming

Pre-cut liners save time. If you’re fine measuring and cutting, generic parchment rolls can be cheaper over time, but they’re slower to prepare for each cook. For busy routines, pre-cut is preferable.

Who Should Buy This

We think these liners fit many kitchens well, and they’re especially helpful for certain users.

• Busy households that cook in the air fryer multiple times a week and want to save cleanup time. We found them convenient for daily use.
• People who prefer a quick, disposable solution for messy foods like bacon, cheese-laden items, or sticky marinades. The liners make it easy to handle leftovers.
• Owners of COSORI 6 qt and similar 5–8 qt air fryers who want a product that fits without trimming. We appreciated the snug fit in our compatible baskets.

Who Shouldn’t Buy This

These liners aren’t ideal for everyone, and we want to be honest about limitations.

• Users who prefer zero-waste kitchens or want reusable accessories to avoid single-use items. Silicone mats or metal trays may be better for them.
• People who routinely cook at temperatures above 430°F or use direct broil functions that exceed the liner’s rating. For those cooks, alternative materials like foil or oven-safe trays are safer.
• Owners of very small or very large fryers outside the 5–8 qt range, unless they’re willing to trim or buy different sizes. Ill-fitting liners can cause airflow issues or safety risks.

Practical Tips and Tricks

We share a few small habits that made the liners more effective for us.

Don’t preheat with an empty liner

Always place food on the liner before turning the fryer on. That prevents the liner from lifting and contacting the heating element.

Use liners for low-to-medium heat jobs

Stick to recommended temperatures (below 430°F) for the longest liner life and safest operation. For very high-heat searing, place the food directly on the basket or use a metal tray.

Replace when soiled or oily

If a liner is heavily soaked with grease, discard it rather than trying to reuse it. A saturated liner can tear or allow grease to drip into the fryer base.

Combine with perforated patterns if needed

If you want more airflow under certain recipes, we cut small perforations in the liner while keeping most of it intact. This can help with exceptionally crisp results while still reducing mess.

Frequently Asked Questions

We’ve collected common questions we’ve heard and answered them based on our experience and product information.

Are these liners oven-safe?

They are designed for air fryers and are rated up to 430°F, which covers many oven uses. For conventional ovens, we still recommend keeping temperatures within the specified limit and avoiding direct contact with heating elements.

Can we compost these liners?

Unbleached parchment is better for the environment than bleached versions, but compostability depends on whether the paper has a silicone or other coating. We advise checking local composting rules or the product packaging for compostability certification.

Can the liners cause my food to be less crispy?

When used correctly—without blocking airflow or overloading the basket—we found crisping performance comparable to using the basket alone. Avoid blocking holes or covering the entire basket perimeter if crisping is a priority.

How many uses per liner?

They’re intended as single-use disposable liners. For lightly cooked items, we sometimes reused a liner within the same cooking session, but regular reuse is not recommended because of hygiene and performance reasons.

Will the liners fit other air fryers?

They’re designed for 5–8 qt baskets and specifically marketed for COSORI 6 qt models. They often fit similar square or rounded-square baskets, but for perfect fit confirmation, we recommend measuring your basket or testing one liner before committing to the full pack.

Comparison Table: Use Cases and Recommendations

We created a short comparison to help decide when to use these liners versus other options.

Scenario	Best Option	Why
Greasy breakfast (bacon, sausage)	Disposable parchment liner	Catches grease and prevents basket scrubbing
Reheating pizza	Disposable parchment liner	Prevents cheese drips and keeps basket clean
High-temperature searing	Metal tray or no liner	Parchment limit (430°F) may be exceeded
Reusable, low-waste approach	Silicone mat	Eliminates single-use waste, washable
Irregularly shaped basket	Cut-to-fit parchment or roll	Pre-cut may not fit perfectly

Value and Cost Consideration

We consider value in terms of money saved on cleanup time and basket longevity as well as the direct cost of buying liners.

Cost per use

Large packs of 100 reduce per-use cost and are economical for frequent air frying. If each liner saves ten minutes of cleanup and reduces the need to recondition or replace baskets, the indirect savings are notable.

Long-term vs short-term value

For users who cook occasionally, single-use liners may feel wasteful; frequent users will appreciate the time saved and the reduced wear on their baskets. We encourage evaluating your personal routine before buying.

Final Verdict

We find these Air Fryer Liners Disposable Compatible with COSORI Air Fryer 6 Qt, 100 Pcs Unbleached Parchment Paper for 5-8 Qt 7.9 Inch Square Parchment Paper for Baking Non-Stick to be a practical, convenient accessory for most air fryer households. They deliver on the promise of easy cleanup, reliable non-stick performance, and a size that fits COSORI 6 qt baskets well. We appreciate the unbleached material and the large quantity, and we accept the trade-off of single-use waste for day-to-day convenience.

We recommend this product to busy cooks, families, and anyone who values quick cleanup and consistent performance for common air fryer recipes. If sustainability or extremely high-temperature cooking is a priority for us, we suggest weighing reusable alternatives or different materials. Overall, the liners add real convenience and reduce friction in our cooking routine, which is a major plus in our kitchen.
