It’s easy to whip up a casserole

save: create a tin foil ‘sling’. Start
with a folded sheet of tin foil that’s
long enough to create at least 7-8
centimetres (3 inches) of overhang
on each side of the dish; place the
dish on top and lift the foil edges
to create handles. Using the foil,
lower your baking dish into the air
fryer, then tuck the foil so it’s out of
the way while cooking. Once your
food is done, carefully lift, using
the foil overhangs.
