Best Air Fryer Accessories in UAE (2026): A Practical Buying Guide

Air fryers have become one of the most-used appliances in UAE kitchens — quick, oil-light, and perfect for everything from frozen samosas to reheated leftovers. But the appliance is only half the story. The right accessories are what make daily use faster, cleaner, and far less annoying to scrub afterwards. Here's a practical guide to the accessories that actually earn their place.

Why air fryer accessories are worth it

If you use your air fryer a few times a week, two problems show up fast: stuck-on residue at the bottom of the basket, and the tedious cleanup that follows every cook. A small set of accessories solves most of this — protecting the non-stick coating, catching drips, and cutting your cleaning time to a quick rinse. You spend a little now and save yourself the daily scrub.

1. Reusable silicone liners (the single biggest cleanup win)

If you buy one accessory, make it a liner. A liner sits inside the basket and catches all the grease and crumbs, so the basket itself stays clean. The debate is usually reusable silicone versus disposable parchment — and for regular cooking, reusable wins on both cost and convenience.

Reusable silicone vs parchment paper

• Parchment is cheap per sheet but you throw one away every cook — the cost adds up, and loose sheets can lift and touch the heating element.
• Reusable silicone costs more upfront but lasts for months, sits flat, and goes straight into the dishwasher. Over a few weeks it's the cheaper option.

Our Silicone Air Fryer Liner (2-pack) is food-grade, non-stick, and dishwasher safe, with a ridged base that helps drain excess oil away from your food. It measures 22×21×6cm and fits most square baskets with an inside width of 20–22cm — so check your basket before ordering. Not sure which size? See our air fryer liner size guide.

2. Keep the wider kitchen clean too

Air frying is tidy, but reheating and microwaving around it usually isn't. A collapsible splatter cover stops food from spraying across your microwave while you warm up sauces or leftovers alongside an air-fried main.

The Collapsible Microwave Splatter Cover has steam vents that let heat escape while blocking splatter, and folds flat so it stores in a drawer instead of hogging a cupboard shelf.

3. Hygiene at the sink

Cooking means handling raw ingredients, then washing up — and touching a pump bottle with greasy or raw-meat hands isn't ideal. A touchless dispenser lets you get soap without contaminating the bottle, which is a small but genuinely useful upgrade for a busy kitchen.

The Touchless Foaming Soap Dispenser (400ml) uses an infrared sensor for hands-free foam, is Type-C rechargeable, and is IPX5 splash-safe for sink-side use.

What to look for when buying air fryer accessories in the UAE

• Size and fit: measure the inside of your basket first. Square baskets and round baskets need different liners — a liner that's too big won't sit flat.
• Food-grade silicone: only use silicone rated food-safe and heat-safe. Cheap unrated silicone can warp or smell at high heat.
• Dishwasher safe: the whole point is easy cleanup, so pick accessories you can just toss in the dishwasher.
• Delivery and payment: many listings you'll find are shipped from abroad with long waits. Local stock with Cash on Delivery means you get it in a couple of days and pay when it arrives.

Care and cleaning tips

• Let silicone liners cool before removing them — they're much easier to handle and won't stretch.
• A quick wipe after each cook keeps residue from building up; a dishwasher run once or twice a week does the deep clean.
• Don't cut food directly on a liner with a knife — it can nick the surface over time.

Frequently asked questions

Can I put a silicone liner in the air fryer while it preheats?
It's best to add the liner with food in it rather than during an empty preheat, so nothing lifts toward the heating element. A liner weighted down by food stays put.

Are silicone liners safe at air fryer temperatures?
Food-grade silicone rated for high heat is designed for it. Always follow the temperature guidance on the product and avoid unrated silicone.

Do these fit every air fryer?
No single liner fits every model — that's why basket size matters. Measure the inside width and depth of your basket and match it to the liner's dimensions before buying.
