How We Research
We compare products from their published specs and features; the verdicts below are our independent editorial opinions.
If you want a reusable, oven-grade air fryer basket and baking pan set built for Samsung and GE ranges, choose Allstare Air Fryer Basket; if you need a huge supply of disposable non-stick baking paper for air fryer baking, choose LINSIRON 300.
• Allstare Air Fryer Basket — biggest strength: a two-piece 304 stainless steel air fryer basket and drip tray sized for specific Samsung and GE range ovens, with an open design that lets hot air circulate for even crisping.
• Allstare Air Fryer Basket — biggest trade-off: it only makes sense if you own one of the compatible Samsung or GE models, and it needs washing after every use.
• LINSIRON 300 — biggest strength: 300 pre-cut 12×16 inch unbleached parchment sheets that fit half-sheet pans and air fryer baskets, withstand up to 450°F, and get tossed instead of scrubbed.
• LINSIRON 300 — biggest trade-off: it's a consumable, not a pan — you supply the actual tray, basket or cookie sheet underneath.
• Who each pick is for: Allstare for Samsung/GE range owners who want a permanent air fry basket replacement; LINSIRON for anyone who bakes and air fries often and hates cleanup.
This is a replacement part, not a universal accessory. Allstare makes a single set: one 20.4"L x 13.4"W air fryer basket and one 18.8"L x 13.4"W tray (drip pan), both in 304 stainless steel, both 1" tall. The stainless is the point — it resists high heat, doesn't rust the way cheaper materials do, and won't bend or melt the way thin non-food-grade trays can. This is the kind of part that outlives the oven it goes in.
Where it earns its place is air circulation. The basket has supporting feet that lift food off the base, so hot air moves around the food instead of pooling under it, and fat drips into the tray below. That's the mechanism behind a crispy chicken wing or a crusty pizza bottom. The open design also cools faster once it's out of the oven, which matters when you're plating and want to stop the carryover cooking. Allstare lists it as multi-functional — meat, pizza, cookies, vegetables — and the drip tray doubles as an everyday baking pan.
LINSIRON 300: Who It's For
LINSIRON 300 is the opposite kind of product: it's 300 sheets of unbleached, food-grade parchment paper, each pre-cut to 12×16 inches, in a brown natural finish. The wood pulp is unbleached and the paper is non-toxic, which is the honest alternative to wax paper, which has no business near a hot air fryer. It's rated to 450°F, so it clears most air fryer and oven recipes without scorching.
The pre-cut sizing is the real convenience. Half-sheet cookie sheets take these sheets flat, with no curling roll to fight and no scissors. That's the difference between prepping a tray of cookies in ten seconds and prepping it in two minutes. And 300 sheets is a genuinely long runway — daily baking, holiday parties, weeknight air fryer batches — without reordering every month. LINSIRON describes the paper as tear-resistant and packaged for storage, which matters when you're pulling one sheet at a time with greasy hands.
Oil-proof and non-stick is where it pays you back. Sticky dough lifts off, roasted vegetables don't cement themselves to the tray, and you can layer sheets between cookies or candies in a box so they don't fuse together or smear frosting. Beyond baking, it handles grilling, steaming, roasting, low-and-slow cooking and air frying, plus lining a plate or wrapping a sandwich.
Buy it if: you bake or air fry regularly and want to skip scrubbing, or you line air fryer baskets with paper. Skip it if: you want a washable pan you keep forever — this is a consumable you'll eventually run out of, and it can't lift food off a surface the way a raised basket can.
Side-by-Side: Which Should You Choose?
• Best for a specific Samsung or GE range oven → Allstare Air Fryer Basket. It's built to the listed part numbers and model numbers, not "one size fits most."
• Best for zero-cleanup baking → LINSIRON 300. Line the tray, bake, throw the sheet away.
• Best for high-volume baking → LINSIRON 300. 300 sheets at 12×16 inches covers months of cookies, bread and cakes.
• Best for a permanent, rust-resistant part → Allstare Air Fryer Basket. Solid 304 stainless steel, 1.93 kg, built to take oven heat for the long haul.
• Best for air fryer baking pan duties in a standard basket → LINSIRON 300. Trimmed to fit, the sheets turn any basket or tray into a non-stick surface instantly.
• Best for oven, microwave and air fryer versatility in one item → LINSIRON 300. One box covers all three appliances; Allstare is oven-focused.
• Best if you're unsure about fit → LINSIRON 300. Paper doesn't care what oven you own. Allstare absolutely does.
In my opinion, most people searching this comparison should buy LINSIRON 300. It works in any air fryer, oven or microwave you already own, it's rated to 450°F, and it removes the worst part of air fryer baking — the scrubbing. I'd only point you to Allstare Air Fryer Basket if you own one of the listed Samsung or GE models and specifically need a stainless replacement basket and drip tray that will outlast everything else in the kitchen. Buy the Allstare for the hardware; buy the LINSIRON for the daily grind. If you own a compatible range, honestly, buy both.
what is an air fryer baking pan
It's a shallow pan or tray that goes inside an air fryer or a range's air fry mode to hold food while hot air circulates around it. The Allstare set is exactly this: a 20.4" x 13.4" basket plus an 18.8" x 13.4" drip tray in 304 stainless steel. A sheet of LINSIRON parchment laid on your own tray does the same job with a non-stick, disposable surface.
what is an air fryer cake pan
A round or square pan sized to fit inside an air fryer basket so you can bake cakes, brownies or quick breads in it. Neither product here is a dedicated cake pan — Allstare is a flat basket and tray, and LINSIRON is flat 12×16 inch paper. For cakes, line whatever pan fits your basket with LINSIRON sheets cut to size, or bake on the Allstare tray for flat bakes like cookies and pizza.
what is an air fryer safe baking pan
One made from a material that won't warp, melt or release anything unpleasant at air fryer temperatures. Allstare's 304 stainless steel is built for oven heat and resists rust and bending. LINSIRON's unbleached parchment is rated to 450°F and is described as non-toxic and food-grade, so it's safe in ovens, microwaves and air fryers alike.
are air fryer pans oven safe
Generally yes, and both of these are. Allstare's basket and tray are stainless steel designed for range ovens, and LINSIRON's paper handles up to 450°F. The catch is fit, not heat — an air fryer pan is usually smaller than a full oven rack, so check dimensions before you commit.
