My Fall Baking Is Moving to the Air Fryer – These Glass Dishes Make Non-Toxic Treats So Much Easier
I'm freeing up the oven for hosting feasts this season
When I’m hosting friends and family, my first priority is always the main course. It’s usually the most time-consuming part of the meal, taking up the bulk of my energy and, more often than not, most of the space in my oven. By the time it comes to dessert, there’s rarely room left to bake anything else.
That’s why this year, I’m considering moving more of my baking to my non-toxic air fryer. The glass Lékué Air Fryer Dishes, available at Amazon, look like just the thing for preparing perfectly portioned desserts without competing for precious oven space.
Available in a range of sizes for everything from mini loaves to round cakes, these glass dishes offer a flexible way to bake smaller batches with less fuss, making all the difference to my dessert prep.
These mini glass dishes fix side by side in any air fryer five quarts and above. They are perfect for small loaf cakes, but also for separating ingredients to make the most of a smaller air fryer. They're non-toxic, too, with silicone tabs to make removal after cooking easy.
In case you did not know, yes, you can bake a cake in an air fryer. While it's far from the traditional method, if your oven is stuffed full already, this countertop essential is the perfect backup for quick bakes.
The key is picking the right air fryer liners for the task. The glass Lékué dishes, also at Wayfair, are non-toxic and use silicone tabs for easy removal, so you do not have to worry about squashing or damaging sponges or crumbles as you lift them from the tray.
Better yet, the glass dishes are incredibly versatile, suitable for the oven, air fryer, and fridge, for baking and setting a wide range of sweet treats for any occasion. With plain glass sides, they can also go straight from the oven to the table for serving, making kitchen cleanup after dinner easier.
With hosting season rapidly approaching, I love the idea of having a dedicated set of dishes for air fryer baking, especially when oven space is at a premium. These glass essentials make it easier to turn out everything from individual puddings to small-batch cakes, helping ensure dessert is still on the menu, even when the oven is already working overtime.

Traditional aerosol oils contain additives to keep them thin enough to spray into cookware, however these additives can erode delicate coatings. These refillable oil spray bottles can be used with standard vegetable oil, making air fryer cooking convenient without the added chemicals.
Silicone tools have become my go-to, being easier to maintain than wood and safe for all cookware. This Bella set features everything you need from flipping to stirring, and come in a compact crock for easy counter storage.
