Air fryers have become a staple in modern kitchens thanks to their convenience, speed, and ability to create delicious meals with less oil. As more people embrace air fryer cooking, one common question continues to come up: Can you use baking paper in an air fryer? The short answer is yes, but there are a few important rules to follow to ensure safe and effective cooking.

When it comes to food packaging, most people focus on convenience, freshness and performance. However, there is another factor gaining attention worldwide: the presence of PFAS, often referred to as "forever chemicals". Used for decades in food packaging and non-stick products, PFAS are now under increasing scrutiny due to their persistence in the environment and potential health concerns.

When you roll out a sheet of baking paper or air-fryer liner, you are likely thinking about an easy clean-up, not toxic chemicals. For decades, we’ve trusted food-grade paper to be a safe barrier between our meals and high heat. However, recent environmental and health studies have revealed a worrying truth: PFAS and microplastics.

Air fryers are more popular than ever. They’re great for cutting down on oil while delivering that crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. But we’ve all been there: After serving up your meal, only to find half of it stuck to the bottom of the basket.
