IF you’ve become obsessed with cooking in your Air Fryer, you’ll know only too well how hard it can be to remove dishes after your food is cooked.
But one keen cook and Air Fryer fan has come up with a cheap hack to make this a thing of the past.
TikTok user Ashlea’s Kitchen, whose profile is @ashleas_kitchen, shared the handy trick after spotting it on someone else’s account.
After making a lasagne in an oven proof dish, she explained: “Simple Air Fryer hack!
“No more burns or food everywhere.”
Ashlea then went on to tell her 35,000 and counting followers: “Hey guys, I saw this Air Fryer foil hack over on Facebook.
“I might be a bit late to the party but I thought I’d share it anyway.
“Because look how easy that is to lift your dishes up,” she said as she demonstrated her new technique.
She then showed how you simply wrap some tin foil around the dishes, including the bottom, to create a fake handle.
Ashlea continued: “So I just lifted them up and put them in my Air Fryer and then lifted them out when they were done.”
The foodie also explained that once they were safely inside the Air Fryer, she folded the sides down so that they didn’t end up in her food, or become too hot to hold.
Then, once the timer had gone off and the food was ready to be served, Ashlea said you simply need to unfold them and pick them back up by the new silver handle.
Many of Ashlea’s followers were quick to say they’d be trying out the technique.
One wrote: “I love this idea!
“I use glass dishes in my air fryer too, it keeps it clean!”
A second said it would be a total game changer for them as they often struggled to get their dish out of the kitchen gadget.
They commented: “Thank you , awesome.
“I always yank a knife in there and lever it out but often spill! Will defo try this.”
While a third also joined in the conversation, as they said they would see how it worked out for them too.
Praising Ashlea, they said: “Thanks, good tip.”
