For most cooks, the Lékué Rectangular Borosilicate Glass Air Fryer Dishes, Set of 2 are the best overall air fryer dishes, pairing a useful two-dish format with borosilicate glass. The Pyrex Ideal 2 L dish is a standout for cooks who want a larger vessel and removable handle, while the XINLTC four-pack suits individual servings and smaller batches. The main tradeoffs are capacity versus countertop fit, glass or ceramic versus metal, and easy serving versus storage and handling. I compared all six for those everyday choices, along with clean-up and versatility. Read on for the full breakdown and a guide to choosing the right dish for your air fryer.

Key Takeaways
- The Lékué set is the most balanced pick: two rectangular glass dishes offer more flexibility than a single pan without focusing only on tiny portions.
- Capacity changes the use case: Pyrex’s 2 L dish suits larger bakes, while XINLTC’s 13.5 oz dishes and the five-inch Yomvzake pans are geared toward individual portions or sides.
- Handles and lids solve different problems: Pyrex’s removable handle helps with lifting, while Souper Cubes’ lids support storage after cooking.
- Material choice is a real tradeoff: glass and ceramic suit serving and small bakes, while P&P CHEF’s nonstick stainless steel pan offers a metal alternative for cake-style cooking.
- A set is only useful if you have room for it: four-piece options provide serving flexibility but take more storage space than a single dish.

More Details on Our Top Picks
Lékué Rectangular Borosilicate Glass Air Fryer Dishes, Set of 2
I’d choose this set when an air fryer meal needs two separate small portions, such as a side dish alongside a main, without flavors mixing. Its two 0.55-liter glass dishes offer a useful split that the single P&P CHEF cake pan cannot, while removable platinum silicone handles give you a grip for lifting and come off for easier cleaning. The glass-and-silicone set is also more versatile beyond the air fryer: it can go in an oven, microwave, refrigerator, or dishwasher. That flexibility makes it a stronger pick for cooking, storing, and serving in the same dishes than the XINLTC ceramic set, which has more pieces but no listed handles. The tradeoff is modest capacity per dish; use mitts or protective gloves when handling hot dishes, and skip this set if you need one larger casserole.
Pros:- Two dishes let you cook separate foods without mixing flavors.
- Removable platinum silicone handles aid lifting and can be removed for cleaning.
- Compatible with air fryers, ovens, microwaves, refrigerators, and dishwashers.
- Borosilicate glass supports cooking and serving in the same dish.
Cons:- Each dish has a limited 0.55-liter capacity.
- Protective gloves or mitts are recommended to reduce burn risk when handling hot dishes.
Best for: Air fryer owners who regularly prepare two small portions or separate a main and side, and want dishes that can move between cooking, storage, and serving.
Not ideal for: Anyone cooking larger family portions or wanting one deep, roomy casserole dish; each dish holds only 0.55 liters.
- Material:Borosilicate glass and 100% platinum silicone
- Quantity:2 dishes
- Capacity:0.55 liters per dish
- Dimensions:7.9 × 3.7 × 3.5 inches
- Item weight:0.91 kg
- Care:Dishwasher safe; silicone handles are removable
- BPA-free:Yes
Our verdict“Choose this set for two small, separate air fryer portions and broad appliance compatibility, but not for large bakes.”
XINLTC Ceramic Baking Dishes, 13.5 oz, Set of 4
The XINLTC set earns its place for cooks who want four matching individual dishes for small air fryer bakes, sides, or meal portions. Each holds 13.5 fluid ounces and is safe for oven, microwave, freezer, and dishwasher use, so the dishes can support prep and storage as well as cooking. Compared with the Lékué set, you get twice as many dishes and ceramic rather than glass, but give up removable handles and the ability to cook two separate portions in handled vessels. The 500°F heat resistance is useful for oven recipes, though it does not change the main limitation: these are shallow, modest-capacity dishes, not substitutes for the Pyrex Ideal’s 2-liter format. No lids are listed, so I’d pick another option for covered storage or transport.
Pros:- Four dishes support multiple individual portions at once.
- Safe for oven, microwave, freezer, and dishwasher use.
- Ceramic is described as resisting absorbed odors and flavors.
- 500°F maximum heat resistance suits high-temperature oven recipes.
Cons:- 13.5-ounce capacity may be too small for larger meals or casseroles.
- No lids are listed for covered storage or transport.
Best for: Cooks who portion small bakes or sides for several people and want ceramic dishes that can also go in the microwave, freezer, and dishwasher.
Not ideal for: Buyers making large air fryer casseroles or seeking lidded dishes for storing and transporting food.
- Material:Ceramic
- Set size:4 dishes
- Capacity:13.5 fluid ounces each
- Dimensions:Approximately 7 × 4.3 × 1.5 inches
- Maximum heat resistance:500°F
- Care and compatibility:Dishwasher, freezer, microwave, and oven safe
- Shape:Rectangular
- Item weight:1.2 kg
Our verdict“Pick the XINLTC set for several small, versatile ceramic portions, but choose a larger dish for casserole-style cooking.”
Souper Cubes 5 x 3 in Ceramic Baking Dishes with Lids, Kale, 4-Pack
I’d favor the Souper Cubes set when the job is making individual portions that can be covered and reheated later. Four one-cup stoneware dishes come with silicone lids, a practical difference from the lid-free XINLTC set and the open Lékué dishes. They work in an air fryer without the lids, as well as in an oven and microwave, and the stackable shape helps keep a four-piece set manageable in storage. The compromises matter: the dishes are not intended for freezing, and the lids must come off for air frying, so this is not an all-in-one freezer-to-air-fryer solution. Hand washing is recommended even though the dishes are dishwasher safe. Compared with the larger Pyrex Ideal, these suit controlled single portions rather than a shared 2-liter bake.
Pros:- Four one-cup dishes are sized for individual meals and sides.
- Silicone lids cover portions for storage and reheating.
- Stackable design helps reduce storage space.
- Dishes are suitable for air fryer use without lids, as well as oven and microwave use.
Cons:- Not intended for freezing or direct stovetop heat.
- Silicone lids must be removed for air fryer use.
- Hand washing is recommended despite dishwasher-safe construction.
Best for: Meal preppers who portion sides or individual meals, want silicone covers for storage, and reheat portions in an air fryer with the lids removed.
Not ideal for: Buyers who need freezer-safe dishes, want to cook with a lid in the air fryer, or need cookware for a stovetop.
- Material:Ceramic stoneware
- Lid material:Silicone
- Quantity:4 dishes with lids
- Capacity:1 cup each
- Dish dimensions:7.25 × 4 × 2.5 inches
- Oven safe:Up to 450°F
- Care:Dishwasher safe; hand washing recommended
- Made in:United States
Our verdict“Choose these for covered, portion-sized meals you plan to store and reheat, not for freezer-to-air-fryer cooking.”
Pyrex Ideal Borosilicate Glass Air Fryer Baking Dish with Removable Handle, 2 L
Among these picks, the Pyrex Ideal is my strongest choice for a single larger air fryer dish: its 2-liter capacity is described as suitable for two to three servings, unlike the individual portions in the XINLTC and Souper Cubes sets. The removable stainless steel handle makes lifting and serving more manageable, then comes off for oven or microwave use. Its borosilicate glass also works in the freezer, refrigerator, and dishwasher, giving it more range than the P&P CHEF pan, which is neither microwave safe nor dishwasher safe. The tradeoff is the handle rule: you must remove it outside the air fryer, so switching appliances takes an extra step. Check your basket dimensions before buying, since compatibility is listed for most—not all—single- and dual-basket air fryers.
Pros:- Two-liter capacity suits larger bakes than the individual-portion dishes in this roundup.
- Removable handle assists with lifting and serving.
- Borosilicate dish is compatible with air fryers, ovens, microwaves, freezers, and refrigerators when used as directed.
- Dishwasher-safe glass and a 10-year manufacturer guarantee.
Cons:- The handle must be removed for oven and microwave use.
- Capacity is aimed at two to three servings rather than large family meals.
- Compatibility is listed for most air fryers, so buyers need to check their basket dimensions.
Best for: Air fryer owners who want one glass dish for two to three servings, with the option to use it for oven, microwave, freezer, and refrigerator tasks.
Not ideal for: People who need several separate personal dishes or a dish that can move to the oven or microwave without removing its handle.
- Material:Borosilicate glass with stainless steel handle
- Capacity:2 L
- Dimensions:20 × 18 × 8 cm
- Temperature range:-40°C to +350°C
- Thermal shock resistance:Up to 240°C
- Compatibility:Most single- and dual-basket air fryers; oven and microwave without handle
- Care:Dishwasher, freezer, microwave, oven, and refrigerator safe
- Warranty:10-year manufacturer guarantee
- Model number:301U300
Our verdict“Choose the Pyrex Ideal for a versatile, two-to-three-serving glass bake, provided its dimensions fit your air fryer.”
P&P CHEF 6-Inch Nonstick Stainless Steel Square Cake Pan
For air fryer baking, the P&P CHEF pan is the dedicated pick for cakes, brownies, and compact layered dishes. Its 6-inch square interior and 2-inch depth provide a defined baking shape, while the nonstick coating helps release delicate bakes without the sticking risk of the bare glass dishes. The one-piece, leak-resistant construction also makes it a more sensible choice for batter than the separate ceramic portions in the XINLTC set. Unlike the Pyrex Ideal, this is a single-purpose pan: it is not microwave safe or dishwasher safe, and its coating calls for gentle cleaning to avoid scratches. Choose it when baking performance and easier food release matter more than moving the same dish between appliances or storing leftovers in it.
Pros:- Nonstick coating supports easier release of cakes and brownies.
- One-piece, leak-resistant design helps contain batter and liquids.
- Stainless steel core is described as sturdy and rust-resistant.
- Rounded corners and smooth edges can make handling and cleaning easier.
Cons:- Not dishwasher safe, so cleanup requires hand washing.
- Nonstick coating needs gentle cleaning to avoid scratches.
- Not microwave safe.
Best for: Air fryer bakers who make small cakes, brownies, or compact lasagna and want a nonstick square pan with leak-resistant construction.
Not ideal for: Buyers seeking glass or ceramic cookware for microwave use, dishwasher cleanup, or serving and storing meals in the same dish.
- Material:Stainless steel with food-grade nonstick coating
- Color:Black
- Outer dimensions:6.25 × 6.25 × 2 inches
- Inner dimensions:6 × 6 × 2 inches
- Bottom dimensions:5.5 × 5.5 inches
- Quantity:1 pan
- Maximum temperature:500°F
- Care and compatibility:Not dishwasher safe; not microwave safe
- Model:SSBP-148
Our verdict“Pick this pan for small air fryer cakes and brownies, but choose glass or ceramic for easier appliance-to-appliance versatility.”
Yomvzake Small Casserole Dishes – 4 Pack, 5‑inch Glass Square Baking Pans with Handles
I’d choose the Yomvzake set for small, separate servings rather than batch cooking: each square dish holds about a cup, and its handles make it easier to lift and serve an individual bake. The borosilicate glass works in an air fryer, oven, and microwave, so these dishes can move from cooking to reheating without switching containers. Compared with the larger Pyrex Ideal 2 L dish, this four-pack suits personal portions but gives up the room needed for a family-sized casserole. The glass is dishwasher safe, though its temperature range needs careful handling: the product data warns against rapid temperature changes at or above 248°F, despite listing a maximum operating temperature of 482°F. I’d skip it for abrupt hot-to-cold transfers or recipes that need one roomy pan.
Pros:- Four individual dishes make portioning and serving straightforward
- Borosilicate glass is suitable for air fryer, oven, and microwave use
- Integrated handles help with lifting and serving
- Dishwasher-safe construction simplifies cleanup
Cons:- About one cup of capacity per dish limits larger portions and recipes
- Rapid temperature changes can stress the glass; the listed 482°F maximum does not remove that handling restriction
Best for: Cooks making individual air fryer sides, small desserts, or separate portions to serve and reheat
Not ideal for: Households cooking a full-size casserole in one dish, or cooks who need cookware that can move quickly between hot and cold conditions
- Brand:Yomvzake
- Model number:Y-G_BCU007
- Set size:4 dishes
- Material:Borosilicate glass
- Dish size:5.2 × 5.2 inches
- Capacity:About 1 cup per dish
- Temperature range:-40°F to 482°F
- Dishwasher safe:Yes
Our verdict“Choose this set for compact, individually served air fryer portions, but pick a larger dish like the Pyrex if you need to cook a casserole for several people at once.”
How We Picked
I compared these dishes by how well their format fits common air fryer jobs: baking a small casserole, preparing sides, making individual portions, and handling cake-style recipes. I weighed usable capacity and shape against the practical needs of fitting the dish in an air fryer basket, lifting it safely, and cleaning or storing it afterward. Material and included accessories mattered when they changed how the dish could be used, not simply as feature counts.
The ranking favors versatility and everyday fit first, then more specialized advantages. That puts the two-piece Lékué set ahead as the strongest all-round option; Pyrex follows for larger capacity and its removable handle. XINLTC and Souper Cubes rank well for portioned cooking and storage, while Yomvzake is a compact handled choice. P&P CHEF earns a distinct place for metal-pan baking, but its narrower role makes it less flexible as an all-purpose dish.

Factors to Consider When Choosing Best Air Fryer Dishes
Before choosing a dish, I would match its shape and capacity to both the food you cook and the usable space inside your air fryer. A dish that looks compact on a counter can still block airflow or sit awkwardly in a basket. These broader checks can help prevent a mismatch that product features alone may not make obvious.
Measure the Basket, Not Just the Appliance
Air fryer capacity labels do not tell you the exact flat space available for a dish. Measure the basket or cooking tray at its narrowest point, including any curved corners, and leave room to lift the dish out. Handles can add useful grip but also increase the overall footprint. A snug fit may make removal awkward and can interfere with airflow around the vessel. If you plan to use a dish frequently, check its external dimensions rather than relying only on its listed volume. When in doubt, a smaller dish that leaves clearance is more practical than one that barely fits.
Choose Capacity Around the Food You Make
Think about the depth and surface area a recipe needs, not just how much food it holds. A shallow dish gives toppings more exposure to hot air, while a deeper vessel can suit layered bakes but may cook the center more slowly. Small dishes work well for personal portions, yet they can mean cooking several rounds for a household. A larger pan reduces batching but may crowd the air fryer or leave little room for circulation. Match the dish to your most frequent recipes, then treat occasional larger meals as a separate need. Avoid buying a multi-pack solely for the number of pieces if you rarely cook individual servings.
Select a Material for Your Cooking Habits
Glass and ceramic make it easy to move a bake from cooking to serving, but each dish still needs careful handling and enough clearance in the appliance. Metal pans are a different fit for recipes such as cakes, where a conventional pan shape may be more useful than a serving dish. Nonstick coatings can simplify release, but they call for attention to utensil choice and care instructions. Do not assume that every dish described for oven use is suitable for every air fryer setup. Check the maker’s temperature and appliance guidance before cooking. If you expect to use one dish across multiple cooking methods, verify that its stated compatibility covers them.
Treat Handles, Lids, and Storage as Separate Needs
A handle can make a hot dish easier to lift, but it must fit inside the basket during cooking and be safe to use at the dish’s temperature. A removable handle may help with both access and storage, though it adds a part to keep track of. Lids are useful for storing leftovers or prepped portions, but they should not be used during air frying unless the manufacturer explicitly permits it. Consider where the dishes will live between meals: a four-piece set needs more cabinet room than a single pan. If you often cook ahead, storage features may matter more than serving handles. If your priority is a simple bake, extra pieces can add clutter without improving the result.
Plan for Cleanup and Wear
Dish shape affects cleanup as much as material does. Tight corners and baked-on edges can take longer to scrub than a smooth, open-sided vessel, especially after cheese or sugary sauces. Nonstick surfaces may release food readily but need gentle care to preserve the coating. Glass and ceramic avoid that coating-care issue, yet can be heavy to wash and should be protected from knocks. Check whether the manufacturer allows dishwasher cleaning rather than assuming it from the material. Think about how the dish will be dried and stored too; stacking pieces without protection can lead to chips or scratches.
Decide When a Specialty Dish Is Worth It
A dedicated air fryer dish makes sense when its dimensions, shape, or handling solve a recurring problem that a general-purpose pan does not. A set of small dishes is valuable for separate portions, but less so if you usually cook one shared meal. A larger handled dish can simplify serving, though it may be too big for compact air fryers. Specialty cake pans suit a narrower range of recipes and should not be mistaken for general casserole dishes. Before paying for extra accessories, list the meals you expect to make and check that each feature supports one of them. The best choice is the one that fits your regular routine, not the one with the longest feature list.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know whether a baking dish will fit my air fryer?
Measure the usable basket or tray width and depth, including rounded corners and any raised edges. Compare those measurements with the dish’s outside dimensions, not only its cooking area or stated capacity. Allow enough clearance to place and remove the dish without scraping the sides. Also think about the handles, since they count toward the total footprint. If the dish nearly fills the basket, check appliance guidance before using it, as restricted airflow may affect cooking.
Should I choose a set of small dishes or one larger dish?
Small dishes make sense when you prepare individual meals, separate ingredients, or portions with different toppings. A larger dish is usually more convenient for a shared bake and may reduce the need to cook in batches. The tradeoff is that a larger vessel can be harder to fit in a compact basket and may limit airflow around the food. Sets also need more cabinet space and may not all fit in the air fryer at once. Let your usual serving size guide the decision rather than the piece count alone.
Can I use the lids while air frying?
Do not assume a storage lid is safe for cooking, even when it comes with an air fryer dish. Lids may be made from materials that cannot handle the appliance’s heat or may obstruct airflow above the food. Use them for storage only unless the product instructions specifically approve cooking with the lid on. Check the maximum temperature and any restrictions for both the dish and its accessories. When instructions are unclear, cook without the lid and cover the food only after it has cooled as directed.
Is glass, ceramic, or metal the better choice for air fryer baking?
There is no single best material for every recipe. Glass and ceramic are convenient for small casseroles and serving, while metal can suit cake-style bakes and offers a different pan format. The result also depends on the dish’s shape, depth, and how much air can circulate around it. Check the maker’s temperature guidance and your air fryer’s manual before use, since material alone does not confirm compatibility. If you make several kinds of food, choose based on your most frequent recipes rather than assuming one material will excel at all of them.
Does a removable handle make a dish easier to use?
A removable handle can help when lifting a hot dish or reaching into a tight basket, and taking it off may make storage easier. It also adds a component that needs to be attached correctly and kept track of. Check whether the handle must be removed during cooking and whether it has specific temperature limits. A fixed handle may be simpler if it fits your appliance and remains cool enough to handle as directed. For small baskets, compare the dish dimensions both with and without the handle before deciding.
Conclusion
For the best overall balance, I recommend the Lékué two-dish set for its useful format and glass construction. The best larger-capacity choice is the Pyrex 2 L dish, especially for cooks who value a removable handle. For individual portions, choose XINLTC for compact servings or Souper Cubes when storage lids matter; Yomvzake is another fit if you want small handled glass pans. Beginners who want a straightforward set for small batches can start with XINLTC, while cooks focused on cake-style recipes should look at the P&P CHEF metal pan. Before choosing, check your air fryer’s basket dimensions and the maker’s heat-use instructions—those details can matter more than having extra pieces.
