Can you use aluminum foil in an air fryer?

Yes, you can use aluminum foil in an air fryer — including the Paris Hilton 6-quart model — as long as it doesn't block the crisper plate perforations or cover the basket bottom entirely.

Aluminum foil is safe at air fryer temperatures up to 400°F, but placement matters. Lining only part of the crisper plate, leaving the perforations open, keeps hot air circulating underneath food. Covering the full basket bottom traps airflow and produces steamed, uneven results instead of the crispy exterior the Paris Hilton air fryer's 1700W heating is designed to deliver. Foil also works well for containing marinades or drips from sauced foods.

• Aluminum foil is safe in the Paris Hilton air fryer up to its 400°F maximum temperature.
• Foil must not fully cover the crisper plate — perforations must stay open for air circulation.
• Never place foil in the air fryer without food on top; fan force can blow loose foil into the heating element.
• Acidic foods (tomatoes, citrus, vinegar-based marinades) can react with aluminum foil and affect flavor.
