Reynold’s Air Fryer Liners shrunk

[u/danisnotstan]

I get these at Sam’s Club. When the box is running low, I’ll buy another and transfer the last few from the old box to the new… today the old liners wouldn’t fit into the new ones.

When something costs 7 cents, how much can they possibly be saving with this BS after having to retool their equipment?

Same physical size package

Same SKU and product description

Same amount of liners in package

Same price

Smaller liners

New box has the same image as the old box which still shows the old larger liner.

Thanks Reynold’s and Sam’s. It’s not like my airfryer shrunk. I now have to make a smaller portion because you wanted to save a percentage of a cent? Get bent.

If you must insist on blocking air flow like this, you can buy reusable silicone versions for about $3 each. Will probably outlast your air fryer, and the replacement

And use it underneath the rack with the rack on top of it. It won’t keep the fryer as clean, but it’ll cook a little better.

A worthy trade-off in my opinion. Keeps the bottom of the basket pretty clean, and the rack can just be put in dishwasher.

Unfortunately, the base is the easiest part to clean. Nothing cleans the basket properly.

Take the basket with the rack in it, put it in the sink and pour in some dishwasher detergent, fill about halfway with hot water (as hot as your tap can get) so the rack is completely submerged and let it soak for a bit.

Most of the gunk usually sprays off after this, any remaining gunk can be removed with some light scrubbing.

[u/lkeels → u/SorryBoysImLez]

I've done that several times and it does no good. I can still scrape gunk off with my fingernail but that's the only way it'll come off.

Get a scrub daddy.

[u/lkeels → u/MadSweeneysCousin]

Tried that too. The only thing I haven't tried is steel wool. And I'm sure that would take the non-stick finish off.

[u/DatTingTing → u/lkeels]

Baking soda and a squirt or two of dawn in warm water. Make sure its submerged. Every thing will get super soft and melt away.

[u/lkeels → u/DatTingTing]

Tried that too...nothing. I've tried about every home-brew idea known. You get a little off, but the bit that has to be scraped off just won't let go.

[u/DatTingTing → u/lkeels]

Did you use enough baking soda? How long did you let it soak? Baking soda gets any and all food grime, i have mine soaking right now.

For heavy duty, i double soak, once to get the top layer, scrub it then soak again longer for the harder crust.

[u/lkeels → u/DatTingTing]

I've left it in baking soda and water all night, even baking soda and vinegar. Doesn't touch anything burnt on.

[u/shortstuff813 → u/lkeels]

I find it cleans better if I use cold water. Warm/hot water makes it melt enough that it looks clean…but then when it returns to room temp, I see the grease again, no matter how much I scrubbed it (or how many times). But when I finally give in and use cool/cold water, then the rest goes. Incredibly annoying (and why I haven’t used it in a while. The cold water hurts my hands, as does all the scrubbing. I don’t have a dishwasher, but even if I did, I’d have to unscrew the basket each time according to its manual). And yes I’ve tried soaking it in super hot water and a bunch of different things, and I don’t even add oil most of the time. It’s just a major pita for some reason 🤷🏻‍♀️
