A little-known air fryer "hack" has been branded the "greatest of all time" as it allows more food to be cooked.
Air fryers have become increasingly popular in recent months as people look for the cheaper and healthier ways to cook food. From new recipes to cleaning hacks, many videos have been circulating on social media with people sharing top tips on how to get the most out of your device.
But one TikTok user claimed to have a great hack that is life changing. It allows more food to be cooked, without having to buy a bigger air fryer, which could come in handy for those wanting a larger meal.

Taking to TikTok, the user said this was the "greatest air fryer hack of all time" as he said it would "genuinely change your life." In the video, @Mattjfit can be seen cooking chicken as he places it at the very bottom of the air fryer.
But he said as a "double decker bus", you can put the removable air rack on top of the food, allowing space for more. He said: "Excuse the fact the chicken is already cooked, I tried it out last night and I couldn't believe it worked.
"This little tray thing, if you've got one of the new Ninja ones, or the other ones if they come with it, I think this is for like frying, you can just chuck it on top of the chicken and then you put more chicken on top, so it's like a double decker bus of air fryers.
"You'd assume that the chicken is all just going to get squashed and not get cooked." He added: "I actually can't believe it worked."
Captioning the video: "Air fryer hack - I'm either slow or this is ground-breaking", it has been liked, commented on and shared hundreds of times.
Many people were quick to comment on the video, but opinions appeared to be divided. One user said: "Honestly didn't realise, cheers." A second added: "I do my stuffing on the bottom and roasted potatoes on top, works a treat."
A third wrote: "You can buy a rack where you can cook two things together". Another said: "OMG I had this exact idea today! Great minds."
However one person wrote: "That rack is to allow air to circulate underneath the food you are cooking and to allow excess fat to drip underneath for healthier cooking." Another said: "In the instructions on mine, it says do not put anything under the drip tray directly onto the surface."
