I bought precut parchment paper to fit inside the crisper basket which helps clean up. I wonder what you think of that. Do they impede cooking? I have read that if you put them in the basket while warming without food inside, they can float and if they touch the element, they can cause a fire! I've not experienced that myself, but they do help with clean up. By the way, they're available on Amazon.ca.

I think anything that impedes the airflow could potentially affect cooking, but I don't see any reason you can't use them. I wouldn't personally preheat with them in, just for the reaason stated. The fan can certainly cause them to fly up into the grate.
