I’ve had one of these simple tools for many years. It was initially purchased for cooling cakes that came directly from the oven. But it also got used to protecting the kitchen worktop of any hot dishes or pans I need to place there.
Old tool, New use
The old tool has found a new user with my air fryer. I still use it to rest the air fryer cakes on while they cool, but it gets used for something much more important.
I use the round cooling rack (Amazon) to rest the air fryer basket as I turn the food at the turn time or during the dishing-up stage. Of course, I could hold the basket with the handle in one hand and the tongs in the other, but sometimes it is nice to have a free hand.
The cooling rack gives me that free hand without worrying that I could damage the kitchen worktop.
Simple yet effective
Every air fryer should have one. Available for delivery on Amazon.
