That day I air fried a whole frozen pizza and the cheese ended up on the heating coil

I tried to save time by shoving a whole frozen pizza into my air fryer last Tuesday and ended up spending 20 minutes scraping melted mozzarella off the bottom with a chopstick while my smoke alarm went off, has anyone else attempted something way too big for their basket?

Caved and bought the bigger air fryer after my third attempt at a party pizza ended in a melted mess. What worked for me was cutting the frozen pizza into four wedges with a sharp knife while it was still rock hard, then air frying each wedge by itself for like 8 minutes. The cheese stays on the crust that way and you don't have to deal with that horrible burnt plastic smell. Just make sure you flip them halfway through so the bottom gets crispy too. Yeah it takes longer but at least I'm not scraping charred cheese out of the heating element with a butter knife at midnight.

That midnight butter knife cheese scraping is way too relatable honestly.
