The simple and direct answer is YES, you can put baking paper in the Airfryer, but you need to be discreet about some things when using it to avoid problems that could harm your little darling.
Baking paper can be used both to package some food that you are going to prepare in the Airfryer instead of aluminum foil, and it can be used to avoid remaining dirt in the fryer basket.
The most common Air Fryer paper that you will find and that most people use is that form of Airfryer parchment paper that some also call Airfryer paper liner.
Another type is baking paper which comes in rolls, but this is much less used, when it comes to oil-free fryers, the disposable paper liner is more in demand.
Care When Using Baking Paper in the Airfryer
Hardly anyone will have problems using this Airfryer paper, although it is important to know a few things to preserve your favorite and avoid unnecessary risks.
What it can't be done AT ALL is to only connect the fryer with the paper inside, if you do this the paper will burn and this could cause a very serious and dangerous problem.

Another thing you shouldn't do is use the paper liner to prepare light foods, as the weight of the food may not be enough to keep the paper in the basket, which could fly away and touch the Air Fryer's heating element.
Apart from these 2 precautions, you can use these baking paper molds in the Airfryer without any major worries.
And Can You Put Paper Towels in the Airfryer?
The answer here is NOsimply because the paper towel when heated in the Air Fryer heats up very easily and can burn quickly, in addition to not being efficient in preparing food in the fryer.
This is why you should also not wrap food with paper towels and place it in the Air Fryer, as the food will not cook/bake evenly this way.
Butter Paper has small holes that allow air to pass through and circulate, however in the case of Paper Towel this does not happen and it can still get burned and no one wants to run that risk. Is not it?
Aluminum foil or parchment paper in the Airfryer?
As we have already shown in another item, you can put aluminum foil in the Airfryer, however, if you are preparing any dish that needs to be wrapped, baking paper may be the most recommended.
