That $40 silicone air fryer liner was a total waste for me

I bought a pack of those silicone liners off Amazon for my Cosori air fryer and they said they were dishwasher safe and nonstick. First time I used one for chicken wings at 400 degrees it melted onto the basket and took me 20 minutes to peel off the sticky mess. Has anyone found a liner that actually holds up to high heat or am I better off just using parchment paper with holes punched in it?

Did you preheat the air fryer before putting the liner in? I use silicone liners in my Ninja all the time at 400 degrees and havent had any melting issues. They do need to sit in there empty for a couple minutes to heat up first before you drop the food in, otherwise the sudden temp change can mess with the silicone. Also some of the cheap no-name brands on Amazon are straight garbage and just use really thin silicone that cant handle the heat. I'd try a different brand before giving up on them completely.

Is it really that big of a deal if the liner melts a little though? Seems like a lot of fuss to avoid a quick wipe down of the basket.
