To get the most out of your air fryer, keep a box of toothpicks on hand. They're a great tool for holding foods together and testing to see whether something is fully cooked.

To reheat a stacked sandwich or cooking sliders in the air fryer, place a toothpick down the center to keep the ingredients from spilling out in the process.

You can also prepare baked goods in an air fryer and use the toothpick method to tell if they are done by sticking a toothpick in and seeing if it comes out clean.

If you're cooking small, bite-sized snacks in the air fryer, such as mini meatballs, the toothpicks also make for an easy way to remove the food for taste-testing.
