Which accessories improve performance, and which are recommended for the 10.3L?

Accessories increase functionality, allow safer handling, and make cleanup easier, but compatibility and airflow impact must be prioritised. Perforated parchment or silicone liners reduce mess but preserve airflow; use only liners with holes and never line the basket with a solid sheet that blocks circulation. Multi‑tier stainless racks or wire inserts let you cook more items without overcrowding a single layer; ensure the racks are sized to clear the heating element and don’t touch the fan. A wired or compatible oven‑style temperature probe is invaluable for large joints and whole birds, enabling precise internal temperature monitoring rather than relying solely on cook time. Use metal or silicone tools rated for high heat; avoid plastic tools that can melt. If using pans or trays inside the air fryer (for casseroles or baked goods), select shallow, oven‑safe containers sized to leave 2–3 cm clearance to sides and top so air can circulate. Non‑stick sprays specifically formulated for air fryers and a lightweight oil mister help promote even browning without excess pooling. For cleaning, soft brushes and non‑abrasive sponges preserve non‑stick coatings; avoid metal scourers. Always confirm compatibility and temperature ratings with the accessory vendor and the Mistral manual to prevent damage and preserve warranty coverage.
