"Gadgets" to help with airfryers.

My Phillips Air Fryer came without instructions, and has just an insert with holes in (which it calls a basket on their web page) to actually cook the food. Its fine for chips etc, but if I want to bake, say, a small pie, I use a bowl or similar container and pop it in the basket.
But HOW to take it out without burning my hands on the edge of the basket sides?
I am currently using a strip of folded foil underneath whatever I'm cooking but its wobbly lifting it out. Surely there's an easier way?

I'm interested in any tips as I use the foil method too.

The types of air fryer available are so varied in design it’s difficult to recommend something unless you know the model. I’ve a Ninja, so I’m no help to you I’m afraid. But look on Amazon maybe.

I have a similar one for my Ninja Foodi.
