Title: Does every airfryer come with a rubber knob in the basket pan
Post by: Tailgating is my game on February 27, 2018, 04:53:05 PM
Acts as a stopper & bumper for the pan. I like it but was wondering if it was standard on all of them?

Thanks Richard

No mine did not. Wish it did as the fryer pan tilts and it is hard to get a even cook on something like a cake.

Mine didn't either. Instead I just use a round silicone trivet. Got a set of 3 or 4 different sizes from Walmart for like 6 bucks. Rachel Ray brand.

Not mine, I use a small piece of silicone to keep the basket from bending down when loaded (one of the videos I'm going to shoot)   It's needed for sure

What kind of silicone did you use that takes the heat and is food grade safe?

I bought a silicone hot pad at a store here says good to 500 degrees.   It nevers touches the food and does not seem to set off any fumes

More to come once I get the videos done

I bought these, https://www.walmart.com/ip/Best-Brands-Rachael-Ray-Silicone-Trivet/184584498?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=0&adid=22222222227055982293&wmlspartner=wmtlabs&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=159235115210&wl4=pla-268420050151&wl5=9019645&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=8175035&wl11=online&wl12=184584498&wl13=&veh=sem

3.36 at walmart. I use the little green one. I bought them originally because the basket was rubbing the coating off the center of the container it sits in.

Those would work for one fix but not the other

What are the 2 fixes we are attempting? I've only seen that the basket droops with food. The trivet keeps the basket level in the Power XL I have and keeps the basket from rubbing the coating off. What's the other issue?
Funny enough, I read the reviews on the link I posted and every review was someone who bought it for below their air fryer basket.

Basket will rise on the back side when holding the handle this puts a lot of strain on the handle/case and fatigue and that causes the failure of most units I have heard of
