Damn, that looks better than mine!
I just pasted on some random ingredients - butter, paprika, soy sauce, fish sauce, pepper and salt! Turned out alright

Is it normal for an air fryer to occasionally make a click sound?
I have the ninja af300uk and every now again it makes a click noise, nothing super loud but just wondering if an internal part is hitting something or its normal.

Can't say I've noticed it with ours.

Fan looks ok, maybe next time I will cook in draw 2 and see if its the same.

@tom_e , I tried draw 2 and it was fine for the 2 minutes of heating something up. maybe it was the food in draw 1 that caused the occasional click type noise, it was frozen chicken tenders, so perhaps the breadcrumbs where flicking up at the fan, I presume the fans are quite powerful so food can get moved around?

I'm only air-fryer-curious, don't have one, but with anything that gets hot, hot, hot my first thought would be a thermostat tripping.

Do you have foil or baking parchment lined at the bottom and occasionally get caught from the air blowing it up?
Or any pieces of "light" food items, like pepperoni.
Soldato
Well it was chicken with breadcrumbs, so perhaps the crumbs got blown towards element causing noise, looking I can see grease up there so food does flick up.
Next time I cook something that’s more solid I will have another listen.

Did it for 3mins and it was fine, so perhaps it was just food bits getting blown around.

Silicone basket liners are they any good? If so can anyone recommend a set

I think they’re essential for cooking fatty drippy stuff like sausages. Saves a lot of elbow grease and keeps your trays in better condition. These look fine and you get a 15% discountSilicone basket liners are they any good? If so can anyone recommend a set

I’ve been using tin foil or baking parchments.

We have them and used them several times now and they are fine, easy to wash being non stick and you can just wipe out the air fryer baskets instead of having to wash them

Doesn't that reduce the effectiveness of the side and under airflow?
Soldato
Question to those using a dual zone air fryer. Do they use twice the energy while cooking?
In mine, I use foil to line the basket, but keep the air flow tray in on top. The air comes from the top anyway so you get the same airflow through the tray as normal. Though admittedly the gaps round the side are less effective.
