Easy Meals in Minutes accessories can transform your daily cooking routine.

In this guide, we'll walk through the top 5 Nuwave air fryer accessories that seasoned users swear by. Each item is designed to complement your air fryer's performance, save you time, and expand your recipe repertoire. Let's dive in and see which add-ons deserve a spot in your kitchen.

1. The 14 & 15.5 QT Brio Mesh Tray – Perfect for Large Batches

If you often cook for a crowd or like to meal prep, the 14 & 15.5 QT Brio Mesh Tray is a game-changer. This stainless steel mesh tray fits snugly into larger Brio models, allowing you to double your cooking surface without sacrificing airflow. It's ideal for dehydrating fruits, roasting vegetables, or even toasting nuts in a single layer.

The mesh design promotes even heat circulation, so every piece comes out uniformly crispy. Plus, it's dishwasher safe, making cleanup a breeze. Whether you're making kale chips for a healthy snack or jerky for a road trip, this tray adds valuable real estate to your air fryer.

• Tip: Use the mesh tray for bacon – the fat drips away, leaving perfectly crispy strips with less mess.

2. Stainless Steel Reversible Rack – Versatility at Its Best

The Stainless Steel Reversible Rack is a two-in-one accessory that lets you grill, broil, and roast with ease. One side features a flat surface for searing steaks or cooking pancakes, while the other has raised ridges for those classic grill marks. It fits most Nuwave air fryer baskets and is made from heavy-duty stainless steel that resists warping.

This rack is especially useful for cooking delicate items like fish fillets or vegetables that might fall through standard basket slots. You can also use it to reheat leftovers with a crispy edge, or to toast sandwiches in minutes. It's a small investment that dramatically expands your cooking options.

• Tip: Preheat the rack inside the air fryer for a few minutes before adding food to get a perfect sear.

3. 8 QT Brio Temperature Probe – Never Overcook Again

Perfectly cooked meat is all about internal temperature, and the 8 QT Brio Temperature Probe takes the guesswork out of the equation. This digital probe connects to compatible Brio air fryers, allowing you to monitor the internal temperature of roasts, chicken breasts, or steak in real time. Set your target temp, and the air fryer will alert you when it's reached.

No more cutting into your protein to check doneness or worrying about food safety. The probe is dishwasher safe and comes with a long cord that stays out of the way. Whether you're cooking a whole chicken or a thick pork chop, this accessory ensures restaurant-quality results every time.

• Tip: Insert the probe into the thickest part of the meat, avoiding bone, for the most accurate reading.

4. Pro-Smart Oven Heavy Duty Cooking Rack – Extra Layer for Air Frying

The Pro-Smart Oven Heavy Duty Cooking Rack is designed to fit inside your Nuwave Pro-Smart oven or air fryer, giving you a second cooking tier. This is perfect when you need to cook multiple items at once, like chicken wings on one level and fries on the other. The heavy-duty construction ensures it stays stable even under heavy loads.

Using this rack maximizes your oven's capacity and reduces overall cooking time. It's also great for broiling or roasting because it elevates food closer to the heating element. Cleanup is simple thanks to the non-stick coating, and the rack is sturdy enough to last for years.

• Tip: Rotate the rack halfway through cooking for even browning on both levels.

5. Nuwave Pro-Smart Cookware 9-Piece Set – The Ultimate Upgrade

For those who want a complete kitchen solution, the Nuwave Pro-Smart Cookware 9-Piece Set is a must-have. This set includes pots, pans, and lids that are compatible with your Nuwave air fryer and induction cooktop. The cookware is made from durable stainless steel with an aluminum core for even heat distribution.

You can use these pieces to sear meats on the stovetop, then transfer them directly to the air fryer for finishing – no extra dishes needed. The set also includes a steamer basket and a frying pan, making it easy to prepare soups, sauces, and vegetables alongside your air-fried mains. It's the ultimate accessory for anyone who loves to cook from scratch.

• Tip: Use the included tempered glass lids to monitor cooking without losing heat or moisture.

These five accessories are carefully chosen to help you get the most out of your Nuwave air fryer. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned home cook, adding a mesh tray, reversible rack, temperature probe, extra cooking rack, or a full cookware set will elevate your meals and simplify your routine.
