Silicone liners for air fryer cooking have quickly become a must-have for clean, convenient, and consistent meals. But Kitchen Curated’s premium silicone liners are far more versatile than most people realise.
If you’ve only been using yours for air frying, you’re missing out on their full potential. From microwave steaming to meal prep organisation, here are six clever ways to put your Kitchen Curated liner to work well beyond the fryer.
Which liner fits your air fryer?
Our silicone air fryer liners for Ninja come in two shapes: rectangle for the Dual Zone 9.5L (AF400UK, AF451UK) and square for the 5L AF141 and AF181. Find your fit.
Silicone Liners for Air Fryer: Microwave Steaming Made Simple
Kitchen Curated silicone liners double as microwave-safe steaming dishes for vegetables, rice, or fish. Add a splash of water, cover loosely with a microwave-safe lid or plate, and steam away. Because our silicone is naturally BPA-free and heat-resistant, it’s a safer and cleaner alternative to plastic containers - ideal for quick, healthy cooking without extra waste.
Oven Baking Without the Mess
Our liners aren’t just for air frying - they’re oven-safe too, up to 230°C. Use yours to roast small batches of vegetables, bake muffins (if your liner has ridges), or catch spills beneath casseroles and pies. The flexible silicone promotes even heat distribution and makes post-cook cleanup effortless, eliminating the need to scrub stuck-on bits from trays.
A Smart Freezer Container
Just as effective in freezing temperatures, your Kitchen Curated liner can be used to pre-freeze sauces, leftovers, or individual meal portions. Place the liner in a container or tray, add your servings, and freeze. Once solid, pop them out and store in freezer bags - perfect for batch cooking or school lunch prep.
Mess-Free Snack Trays for Kids
For busy families, the liner becomes a practical snack tray. Pop it into a plate or shallow container to create easy, reusable compartments for chopped fruit, crackers, nuts, or other bite-sized snacks. It’s durable, dishwasher-safe, and won’t crack or warp like plastic trays, making it a safe and sustainable choice for little hands.
Portion Control for Meal Prep
If you’re focused on balanced eating or planning your week ahead, use your Kitchen Curated liner to organise portions in lunchboxes or containers. It’s a helpful visual cue- grains in one side, protein in another, veg in the third - and a tidy solution for anyone managing healthy habits or dealing with fussy eaters who prefer foods separated.
Catch-All Kitchen Helper
Don’t underestimate the liner as a multi-use prep tool. Lay it on your worktop to hold utensils, measuring spoons, or sticky ingredients while you cook. Its non-slip texture keeps everything in place, and its heat resistance means it can also serve as a surface-safe rest for hot tongs, spoons, or air fryer baskets.
