I don't cook hamburgers, but would have thought they would be okay.  I have heard of mayo instead of butter on grilled cheese.  I'd rather butter though.  I'll have to see if I have toothpicks and try a grilled cheese in my air fryer.

@GCR18, I watched a video of Meredith Lawrence showing some tips on using the air fryer and she said that some people suggested using the divider piece be placed on top of the grilled cheese sandwich.  She said that it works great!

I make all my grilled cheeses with mayo now, but I have not tried it in the air fryer.  Does it turn out the same?

@Nightowlz  Yes....I, too, read about using the mayo, so I finally tried it recently.  It was good.  Using it on the bread was certainly easier to spread than the butter.

@Blk&GoldFan I got tired of trying to spread the butter on bread so I put some in the fry pan let it melt put a slice of bread in to get butter on it and pick it up to put in the other slice of bread to butter and put the cheese and other slice back on. What a hassle. LOL!!! It's a lot easier with the KerryGold butter I have in the butter boat on the counter because it's always soft except when it's cold in the house. Maybe I should try the mayo.

Some things happen for a reason don't they ?

@QVCkitty1 Yes they do & it's a good thing. Winter is not the right time of year to have a non-working smoke detector. I always hear more sirens this time of year when people start using their heaters.

@GCR18 If you try it let me know how it works. I have to make some bread before I can make a grilled cheese.

@Icegoddess I liked it better from the air fryer. It was crisper.

i cooked two corn dogs in there today. I spritzed them with oil and cookjed at 400 for 8 minutes.  I forgot to turn them, so one side was bit darker, so less time would do, say 6 minutes.  They were so crispy.  

I also did a grilled gouda cheese sandwich in it, but turning it was hard becasue the bread was the wide loaf instead of a squarer loaf.  The top slide off a bit and some cheese leaked out.  I buttered it like normal.  Next time, I'll just spritz it with oil.  I saw it on youtube, so I tried it.  The guy in the channel cut a paper plate to the size of the container and put that on top and turned the sandwiches out onto it, then put them back in for another 4 minutes at 400.  

You may want to try making hamburgers but with less fat than normal since an air fryer needs very little fat to work.  98% lean beef should do well in there.

@Tigriss The hamburger was supposed to be 85/15 but from the looks of them it was more like 75/25. I was out of grass fed hamburger that has no fat in it so DH picked this up on his way home from work.

I cook hamburgers all the time in my air fryer. I use ground chuck and lowered the temp to 380 rather than 400 and cook for 5 minutes turn and cook 5 minutes more  spray each side with oil mister and never have had any problems. Most of the temps in the cook books are too high and have learned to reduce  temp and cooking time. This is true with steak. keep trying and if all else fails your fryer maybe defective.

I just had to try another corn dog.  I lowered the temp to around 375 and cooked 8 minutes.  Excellent!  I ate it with a glass of champagne.  I had a long day at work, so champagne with corn dogs is the way to go!

I just found this on facebook https://www.facebook.com/delish/videos/10154830839282437/  I think it would be great in the air fryer.  Chicken fried cauliflower steaks.

Bacon wrapped potatoes stuffed with cheese. https://www.facebook.com/1781736778715043/videos/1866896433532410/  It may not be for an air fryer, but it was too good looking to not share! This guy has good stuff on Instagram. https://www.instagram.com/chefclubuk/
