How to use
Place the silicone mold directly into the bottom of your air fryer basket before adding your ingredients. Ensure that the mold is centered to allow for proper air circulation around the sides.

What to consider before purchase
- Measure your air fryer basket to ensure the 21.5x17.5 cm dimensions fit comfortably.
- Check the maximum temperature rating of your air fryer to ensure it aligns with the heat resistance of the silicone.
- Consider the height of the mold edges to ensure it does not interfere with the heating element at the top of the unit.
Usage recommendations
Always ensure that the mold is placed on a flat surface within the basket and avoid using sharp metal utensils that could scratch or damage the silicone surface.
