6 Easy Hacks To Clean The Air Fryer In Your Kitchen

We all know that fried food is not suitable for health. Being fried in oil, they are high in calories and may cause harm to our well-being. But if you are one of those who want to calm your taste buds and at the same time also take care of your health, you should start using an air fryer. An air fryer is a handy appliance for any kitchen, as it healthily serves your favourite things and thus helps to take care of your body. But this comes with the responsibility of keeping the air fryer clean at all times. 

Here are a few tips that you may find handy:

1. Clean up immediately after use: After using the air fryer, we keep it as it is in the kitchen. But if you want to clean it effectively, you must clean it immediately after use (after it cools down, of course). If you delay cleaning it, oil and grease accumulate on the air fryer, after which you have to work harder to clean it.
2. Use warm soapy water: Remove the food basket and pan from the air fryer and clean them with warm soapy water. If there is greasiness on any part of it, soak it in warm soapy water for about 10 minutes before washing it. After that, scrub it with the help of a sponge.
3. Use a dishwasher: If you want to clean the air fryer with less effort, take the help of a dishwasher. Some parts of the air fryer are dishwasher safe and can be cleaned extremely quickly in the dishwasher. However, for this, you have first to read the manual carefully.
4. Use microfiber cloth: Now, using a damp microfiber cloth, take a little dish soap and wipe the interior. After that, wipe off the soap with a clean wet cloth. Then turn your air fryer upside down and use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe down the heating element.
5. Cleaning with a toothpick: Sometimes, the food gets stuck in the basket hole and becomes challenging to remove. With a toothpick's help, you can easily remove the tiniest food particles.
6. Let it dry properly: You allow all the removable parts of the air fryer and dry it thoroughly. You can reassemble it and clean your air fryer when it dries well. Now you can use it again.
