If you own an airfryer or countertop deep fryer, you already know it’s more than a one-trick appliance. The right accessories—think grill kits, racks, skewers and separators—can turn that simple basket into a multi-course kitchen workhorse. Accessories help you roast, grill, steam and even bake, reducing oil use and expanding what you can cook. In short: buy the right add-ons and your fryer becomes a tiny oven, rotisserie and grill rolled into one.
Several established brands dominate the accessory market. Philips and Electrolux are top of mind for many shoppers thanks to wide compatibility and well-made kits. You’ll also find specialist accessory makers and third-party brands listed by retailers from Coffee Friend to major UK chains. If compatibility is your priority, start with the brand that made your fryer—then branch out if you want bespoke tools like skewers or stacking racks.
Philips offers a variety of add-ons designed for different Airfryer sizes. Popular kits include grill trays and multi-tier racks that fit models roughly equivalent to a 1.36 gallon (6.2 L) XL capacity or smaller sizes around 0.70 gallons (3.2 L) and 0.88 gallons (4 L). These kits often include skewers for kebabs, a grill tray and sometimes a separator for cooking multiple foods at once. If you own a Philips unit, buying Philips-branded accessories reduces the risk of fit issues and ensures safe heat performance.
Electrolux also manufactures accessory sets for its airfryers, including multi-part kits that mimic oven functions—steam and stir-fry trays, grill attachments and racks. The Electrolux Eafek1 and Eafek2-style kits are designed to be versatile: think a compact roaster or a small steaming tray that converts your fryer into a healthier short-cut cooker. If you’ve got an Electrolux fryer, look for genuine kits first, then reputable third-party items if you need a budget-friendly option.
When shopping for accessories, there are a handful of items that deliver the biggest bang for your buck: grill kits, skewers, multi-tier racks, separator inserts and non-stick trays. Each accessory type expands what you can cook and often makes cleaning easier. Let’s break them down so you can pick what suits your cooking style.
Grill trays let you achieve that charred texture without a full-size grill. Many kits include ridged trays that elevate food so hot air circulates and fat drains away, which is perfect for fish, steaks and vegetables. Grill trays are commonly sold with sets of skewers and are designed for fryers with capacities around 1.36 gallons or below. They’re ideal when you want a seared finish with less oil—like getting a grill effect in a shoebox-sized kitchen appliance.
Skewers aren’t just for summer BBQs. In an airfryer, they make quick kebabs, roast small joints and even thread vegetables for even cooking. Kits often include 4–5 skewers that fit into a rack or tray. Look for dishwasher-safe stainless steel skewers with heat-resistant handles—these last longer and are safer to handle. Skewers are a tiny investment that instantly broadens your menu.
If you want to cook more than one thing at once, multi-tier racks are a game-changer. They turn a single basket into a two- or three-level oven, which is perfect when you’re preparing different foods that need separate heat exposure. Check the clearance height in your fryer so stacked racks don’t touch the heating element; typically these systems are designed for larger-capacity units around 1.36 gallons or larger.
Food separators are small but mighty: they let you cook different foods side-by-side without mixing flavors. These are especially useful for families who want fries and fish simultaneously. Separators are available as modular pieces that fit common basket shapes—ideal for anyone who wants more utility without buying a second appliance.
UK shoppers have plenty of options, both on the high street and online. Choosing a retailer often depends on whether you prioritize price, returns or fast delivery. Below are the most reliable places to source genuine and compatible accessories.
Stores like John Lewis, Lakeland and Robert Dyas stock a solid selection of branded fryer accessories. John Lewis often has mid-to-high-end products and good warranty handling, while Lakeland focuses on niche kitchen tools that fit space-saving appliances. Visiting a store lets you check fit and finish in person—handy if you want to inspect a rack or skewer before buying.
Currys and AO.com typically carry brand-name accessories for popular fryers, which can include genuine Philips and Electrolux kits. These retailers are useful when you’re matching model numbers and want manufacturer-specific parts. They frequently offer online model compatibility guides, which cut the guesswork out of buying.
Amazon.co.uk and specialist shops such as Coffee Friend list a wide range of accessories, from OEM kits to third-party alternatives. Marketplaces often offer the best prices and the broadest range, but buyer beware: check reviews, seller ratings and compatibility notes. Coffee Friend, for example, lists many specific accessory models for Airfryers and deep fryers—useful if you know the exact accessory code.
Choosing the right add-on comes down to three simple questions: will it physically fit, will the material stand up to high heat, and will it match how you cook? Measure the internal basket of your fryer—if a product lists dimensions in inches, compare directly. Also check whether the accessory is stainless steel, silicone or coated metal; each behaves differently under heat and during cleaning.
Model names often include capacities. For example, a "6.2" model designation usually corresponds to roughly 1.36 gallons of capacity; smaller “3.2” numbers are roughly 0.70 gallons. When in doubt, measure the interior diameter and depth of your fryer’s basket and cross-check with product dimensions listed by the seller. A wrong fit can mean uneven cooking or an accessory that won't sit correctly under the heating element.
Stainless steel accessories are durable and dishwasher-safe but can be heavier; non-stick trays are easier to clean but may wear over time and shouldn't be used at maximum temperatures for long durations. Silicone handles and heat guards are useful for safety. Always check the maximum safe temperature listed—most high-quality kits are designed to withstand typical airfryer temperatures without releasing nasty fumes.
Accessories are only as good as your maintenance routine. Clean metal trays and skewers promptly after use to avoid baked-on grease; a soak in warm water makes life easier. Non-stick coatings benefit from soft cloths or nylon brushes—avoid metal scouring pads. For stubborn residues, a little baking soda paste plus warm water usually does the trick without damaging surfaces.
Accessories range from budget-friendly third-party racks to pricier branded kits. Ask yourself how often you’ll use the item. A skewer set may be worth buying even at a modest price because it’s so versatile, while an elaborate stacking system might be overkill for single cooks. Buying a branded accessory for your exact model can save headaches and sometimes proves better value in the long run due to fit and durability.
Before you add to basket, run through this quick checklist: measure your fryer basket, confirm model compatibility with the seller, read user reviews for fit and durability, check materials and heat limits, and decide whether you want dishwasher-safe pieces. If you shop through marketplaces, verify seller returns and warranty handling—being able to return a wrong-fit accessory saves money and frustration.
Deep fryer and airfryer accessories can dramatically expand what you cook in a compact appliance. From Philips grill kits and Electrolux accessory sets to third-party skewers and multi-tier racks, the right add-on turns your fryer into a highly flexible kitchen tool. Shop smart by checking compatibility, choosing durable materials and picking retailers—whether John Lewis, Currys, Amazon or specialist sellers like Coffee Friend—that match your needs. With a little planning, you’ll be turning out crisp fries, juicy kebabs and oven-style roasts without filling the kitchen with oil or heat.
