    Just had something similar happen. Here is my “fix”: Cook your burger as you would. Pull it at the desired time for cheese. Place cheese on burger, give a slight press so that it engages fully. Close the drawer of air fryer and LEAVE IT OFF for at least thirty seconds so the cheese has a chance to bond. Then restart air fryer to complete the process. Hopefully this solves the problem for the next cheeseburger should you ever emotionally recover.

      I don’t think you need to get that fancy with it, I’ve had success with a similar strategy of cooking the burgers as normal, then placing slices of cheese on them with rhe door slightly ajar, and letting them melt with the residule heat

        I did it a few times, saves the hassle of cleaning a pan and avoids all the smoke. Doesn’t taste nearly as good.

        I don’t know. Like you, I only use grill or pan for burgers. My event was with extra Parmesan on a french bread pizza. Fan knocked it right off the top.
