PSA: My air fryer almost caught fire from a cheap silicone liner

I bought a 3-pack of silicone liners on Amazon for 8 bucks. Last night I made chicken wings at 400 degrees and when I opened it up, the liner was smoking and starting to bubble. I tossed them all in the trash and went back to just spraying the basket directly with oil. Has anyone else had those cheap liners melt on them?

Yep, those cheap liners bubble up over 375, stick to basket spray.

Yeah, the bubbling over 375 is exactly what happened to me. I just ditched the liners completely and started using parchment paper cut to size, works way better and no melting.
