The 70-Cent ALDI Find I Will Never Stop Buying

I love using my air fryer, but frankly, it’s a pain to clean. So, I was really excited to see Boulder Air Fryer Liners back at ALDI.

What I Love About ALDI's Air Fryer Liners

A pack of 50 Boulder Air Fryer Liners costs only $3.59 (that's 7 cents per liner), and for a much easier cleanup, it’s so worth it. In fact, since they are a "here today, gone tomorrow" special, get at least two packages. You’ll thank yourself later.

The liners are nine-inch square sheets of parchment paper with evenly spaced holes that allow the air to circulate when you’re air frying. They work for basket and oven-style air fryers, though they are designed for the former.  

I love them because when I’m reheating French fries, for example, the excess oil doesn’t drip to the bottom of my air fryer. I can easily slide out the liner and wipe the tray, and I don’t have to do any scrubbing or heavy cleanup.

Another great reason to pick up a pack of these liners is that they prevent anything from sticking to the air fryer. For example, I use them when I’m making crab cakes and eggplant parmigiana, as both tend to stick to my air fryer, but they slide right off the liner.

They’re fabulous for cooking vegetables, but they’re versatile. Chicken nuggies, as my son calls them, cook up perfectly on these liners.

If you ever use your air fryer for baking (I love using my air fryer for mini batches of cookies and other goodies), then you’ll want these liners. 

That brings me to another way to use these very useful liners. While they’re meant—and perfectly sized for—the air fryer, you can also use them for cookies in the oven. You’ll need at least two for a cookie sheet, but they work remarkably well for baking in an oven.

If you’re like me, and you tend to wrestle with parchment paper and cutting it right, it’s easier to just use two air fryer liners, overlap them a bit, and call it good.
