FAQs
Is this basket safe for high-temperature cooking?
Yes, it is made of high-quality platinum silicone, which is designed to withstand the standard temperature range of air fryers.
Can I put this in the dishwasher?
Yes, the Lékué Air Fryer Basket is dishwasher safe, making cleanup simple after use.
Does this replace the need for parchment paper?
Yes, this reusable basket eliminates the need for disposable liners and helps keep your air fryer clean.
Can I use it in an oven as well?
While designed for air fryers, the silicone material is oven-safe, though it is specifically shaped for air fryer dimensions.
What is the maximum capacity required?
This basket is designed for air fryers with a capacity of 5L or larger.
Does it affect the cooking time?
Using the silicone basket may slightly increase the cooking time compared to an open metal mesh, so it is recommended to check your food a few minutes early to ensure the desired doneness.
Troubleshooting
Food is sticking to the base
Ensure the basket was properly cleaned of residue from previous uses and consider using a light coat of cooking spray if preparing high-starch foods.
Basket does not fit in the fryer
Verify that your air fryer interior measures at least 20cm and check for obstructions like protruding side rails.
Handles feel too hot
Always use silicone oven mitts when removing the basket from the air fryer, as the material can become quite hot during extended cooking cycles.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before initial use, wash the silicone basket with warm, soapy water. Ensure your air fryer has a capacity of at least 5L to verify the 20cm dimensions fit comfortably within the cooking chamber. When cooking, always ensure the handles are in the down position if you are concerned about them touching the top heating elements. After use, allow the basket to cool completely before handling, as silicone retains heat. It is dishwasher safe, but a quick scrub with a soft sponge and mild detergent is often sufficient to remove grease. Avoid using sharp metal utensils on the surface to maintain the integrity of the non-stick silicone.
