"An air fryer is helpful for whipping up crispy, tasty dishes in very little time, but it does have a few practical drawbacks. One of the problems that flies under the radar is the power of the internal fan. While the fan is there to circulate heat and cook food thoroughly, it can also blow lightweight ingredients all over and ruin your dish."
"There is a little more to it than that, especially if you plan on flipping your food in the air fryer. A toothpick sticking out of the top will make it difficult to get your sandwich to sit evenly. Instead of inserting one vertically, slide the toothpick in at a shallow angle of around 30 degrees. That way, if you do need to flip your sandwich or your air fryer jalapeno poppers, they will still lie flat."
Air fryer internal fans circulate hot air rapidly, which can displace lightweight ingredients and ruin dishes. The appliance functions like a convection oven, using strong airflow to crisp and evenly cook food. Lightweight items such as loose bread, bacon strips, jalapeños wrapped in bacon, sandwiches, wraps, rolls, pinwheels, stuffed chicken breasts, and pork chops can shift during cooking. Securing components with toothpicks prevents unraveling and keeps toppings in place. Insert toothpicks at a shallow angle of about 30 degrees so food can lie flat when flipped. Check before flipping because melting cheese or cooked fillings may hold items together. Remember to remove toothpicks before serving.
