From the book · 30 Air Fryer Hacks

Make a kebab stand for your air fryer from two forks

A chunky kebab lying on the base cooks flat and sticky on one side. Holding it up in the hot air cooks it evenly all round, but kebab racks rarely fit an air fryer, especially the shallow glass kind. The book shows how to make a stand from two spare forks that fits even shallow containers, plus a variation that holds two kebabs and a quick test for which forks work.
