While air fryers make cooking healthier and more convenient, cleanup can be tricky.
Heres what you gotta know about cleaning an air fryer basket.
What You’ll Need
Do not mix vinegar with baking soda.
Always let your air fryer cool down completely before attempting to wash it.
Its recommended by many experts and most likely is suggested in the user manual, too.
You should clean your air fryer basket after every use.
It depends on the brand of air fryer.
Always read the user manual carefully to see if you might add your air fryer basket to the dishwasher.
If it is indeed safe, its usually suggested as a top-rack item only.
If that doesnt remove stains, make a paste with baking soda and water.
Apply to the affected areas, then scrub again.
You could also use perforated parchment paper that allows for airflow.
