Microwave Air Fryer Basket and Accessories: What Fits

Search for a microwave air fryer basket and you will mostly find parts for other appliances. A combo is not a basket air fryer with a door. What is safe in one mode can be wrong in the next.

What comes in the box?

This is what the companies say. Your listing may differ.

The Panasonic row comes from the sister model's manual, not confirmed for the NN-CV87QS. Toshiba's ML2-EC10SA page names no accessories.

Which part goes in which mode?

Panasonic's NN-CD87 manual has the clearest chart. It shows why one basket can't do everything.

On this model the basket is for air fry only. In Combo mode, never put a metal or aluminum container directly on the wire rack, or it can spark.

Other brands set other rules:

• Breville BMO870. No metal containers in the microwave except the supplied accessories. No plates or dishes on the crisper pan.
• Ninja MW101, UK edition. Use the glass basket with the crisper plate. The plate is microwave safe only when it sits in the basket.
• Other models. Check your own manual. See metal and foil.

Can I use air fryer liners?

Liners are the accessory people ask about most. Their listings often name 5 to 8 qt baskets, which is the size of a basket air fryer, not a combo. Here is what the manuals say about paper.

We did not read the Sharp, Toshiba, GE or BLACK+DECKER manuals, so check yours. That is why we link no liners. The heater sits in the same box as your food. If your manual clearly allows parchment in air fry, follow its rules.

For less scrubbing, use the tray that came with your combo. Greasy residue is a common cause of smoke and smells. See the cleaning guide.

Which model has the best parts?

Sharp SMC0985KS. The basket, pan and 10.6 in turntable are dishwasher safe, says Sharp. We did not read its accessory section, so check it for liners and foil.

Panasonic HomeChef^*. The sister model's manual is the most exact. It lists the basket, rack and both trays as parts to order. The copy we read points to Panasonic's Canadian shop, so ask Panasonic where US owners order.

Breville Combi Wave^*. One pan for crisping and a trivet that lifts a dish for better air flow.

Ninja Crispi MW101^*. The basket is glass, which Ninja describes as PFAS and PTFE free. The UK guide asks for two hands to handle it, and says hot glass must cool before it meets water.

What mistakes should I avoid?

1. Buying a metal basket "for microwaves." Manuals limit metal by mode.
2. Sizing by cubic feet. Measure your turntable or floor, the door opening and the height above the tray.
3. Covering the rack with foil. Panasonic and Cuisinart both warn against it, because it can overheat the oven.
4. Using parts from a used unit. Check they match the model number.
5. Cooking on the turntable. Panasonic says to use only the glass tray made for that oven, and not to cook directly on it.

Still choosing a combo?

Get the company's part for the combo you own, with the model number in hand. Leave paper liners out unless your manual clears them. Buying new? Fit comes first, so read the size guide, then the best combos. The Sharp SMC0985KS suits small kitchens.
