Air fryers have taken kitchens across the UK and Ireland by storm – and with good reason. They’re quick, energy-efficient, and perfect for healthier meals. But to really make the most of yours, it’s all about the accessories. In this guide, I share my favourite Ninja air fryers and the must-have air fryer accessories on Amazon that will level up your cooking—from silicone liners and stackable racks to oil spray bottles and full accessory kits.
Over the past few years, air fryers have become one of the most-loved kitchen gadgets across the UK and Ireland. Whether you’re cooking for one or feeding a busy household, the airfryer has earned its place on the countertop. It’s fast, energy-efficient, and creates crispy, delicious meals without all the oil. But if you really want to get the most out of your air fryer, it’s all about the accessories.
In this guide, I’ll take you through the rise of the airfryer, a few of my favourite models, and most importantly, the must-have air fryer accessories available on Amazon that can transform the way you cook. Let’s dive in.
In the last couple of years, air fryers have surged in popularity across the UK and Ireland. Energy prices have soared, and people are looking for more efficient ways to cook. The air fryer is fast, cheaper to run than a traditional oven, and brilliant for healthy, home-cooked meals.
According to recent data, nearly 30% of UK households own an air fryer, with daily usage growing rapidly. It’s not just a trend—it’s a shift in how we cook. From students to busy families, more people are turning to the air fryer to save time, money, and hassle.
While I love trying out different models, a few stand out in my own kitchen. If you’re looking to invest in a reliable, versatile air fryer, here are my top picks:
Ninja Dual Zone Air Fryer
Perfect for families or batch cooking. It has two separate cooking zones so you can cook your main and sides at the same time.
Ninja XL Dual Stack Air Fryer
Maximises space with a vertical design and is perfect if you’re cooking a lot of food but don’t want to take up extra worktop space.
Ninja CRISPI Air Fryer
Looks sleek and modern with a glass bowl so you can see your food as it cooks—perfect for keeping an eye on those chips!
Now for the exciting part—accessories! These are the air fryer essentials that you’ll want to add to your Amazon basket. They make cooking easier, keep your air fryer cleaner, and expand the types of meals you can make.

These reusable liners are a game-changer. They protect your basket, stop food from sticking, and make cleanup a breeze. Look for BPA-free, dishwasher-safe liners that can withstand high heat.

Tongs & Spatulas (Non-Scratch)
Essential for flipping, lifting, and serving food without damaging your non-stick basket. Look for silicone-tipped tongs or nylon spatulas.

If you’re serious about getting the most out of your air fryer, the right accessories can make all the difference. They’ll save you time, improve your results, and make clean-up so much easier.
