Why does nobody talk about air fryer liners...

I was about to clean my air fryer basket yesterday after making some frozen fries and I noticed this weird burnt smell coming from the bottom. Turns out some oil had dripped through the basket holes and was just sitting there getting baked on. I spent like 20 minutes scrubbing with a brush and still couldn't get it all off. Then my neighbor told me about those parchment paper liners with holes in them. Grabbed a pack of 50 for like 8 bucks at the grocery store this morning. Just used one for lunch cooking some brussels sprouts and cleanup was literally wiping a dry basket. Do those liners affect the cooking time or crispiness for anyone else?

Heard the liners can block airflow a bit but mine got crispier somehow.

The holes on those liners are tiny enough to trap heat closer to the skin. That trapped heat probably helps crisp things up faster than open air. I've seen the same thing with mine, definitely gets a better crunch.
