Okay, serious question: Is it just me, or does anyone else struggle with cheese staying put on an air-fried burger? Every time I'd put cheese on a burger, I'd open the basket to find the cheese… well, everywhere but on the burger. It was a cheesy mystery I was determined to solve!
The solution is surprisingly simple: toothpicks.
Here's the trick: when your burgers are almost done in the air fryer, open the basket, place your slice of cheese squarely on top of each patty, and then secure it with three toothpicks.
The toothpicks act like tiny anchors, holding that cheese in place against the air fryer's powerful circulation. This gives the cheese just enough time to melt beautifully onto the burger without flying off into the abyss.
Pop them back in for another minute or two, and voila! You'll pull out perfectly cooked, deliciously cheesy burgers.
Just one crucial reminder: please, please remember to remove all the toothpicks before serving! You don't want any surprises there.
