Air Fryer Basket Replacement for Emeril Lagasse 25 QT - Stainless

In this review of the GWYSY Air Fryer Basket Replacement, the bottom line is simple: it is a practical, heavy-duty replacement tray for owners of the Emeril Lagasse Dual Zone 360 25 QT air fryer who need a durable, food-safe pan that handles grilling, baking, and frying. The reviewer found it best for cooks who want a stainless steel, non-toxic alternative to coated trays and who value dishwasher-safe cleanup. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of food grade stainless steel construction and a size matched to the Extra Large 25 QT unit, which makes it a reliable replacement part for everyday use.

Key Features

• Exact fit: Designed for the Emeril Lagasse 25 QT Extra Large air fryer, the tray measures about 11.6 in by 6.9 in so it fits the cooking cavity without wobble.
• Food grade steel: Made from FDA-compliant, BPA-free stainless steel for safe, tasteless cooking that avoids coatings that can wear off.
• High heat tolerance: The stainless construction withstands temperatures up to 480F, so it can be used for high-temperature grilling and baking tasks.
• Versatile cooking: Works for frying, grilling, baking and reheating - suitable for wings, fries, vegetables, small pizzas and more.
• Dishwasher safe: The non-stick finish and stainless surface clean easily in the dishwasher or after a brief soak for stuck-on bits.
• Preheat recommendation: The manufacturer advises a first-use preheat at 300F for 10 minutes to stabilize the metal and avoid deformation.

Who It's For

The replacement tray is ideal for owners of the Emeril Lagasse Everyday 360 or Dual Zone 360 25 QT air fryers who need a direct-fit accessory that is durable and free of nonstick coatings. It suits cooks who regularly grill or roast small batches and who prefer stainless steel for health or longevity reasons.

It is less appropriate for users who require a mesh basket for maximum air flow or for those who expect a completely flexible tray for very large sheet-style foods; buyers should confirm their model's dimensions before ordering and follow the preheating guidance to protect the pan.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Solid, food-grade stainless steel construction that resists high heat and avoids toxic coatings.
• Dishwasher-safe and easy to clean after soaking, which reduces maintenance time.
• Designed to fit the 25 QT Emeril Lagasse air fryer for a secure, stable fit during cooking.

Cons

• Requires a specific preheat step before first use to prevent deformation, which adds an extra setup step.
• Not a mesh-style basket, so those looking for maximum airflow or crisping from all sides may prefer an alternative design.
