Take a look: 

  • Clean The Basket

In an air fryer, everything happens in the fry basket. This is also the place where mess is mostly created. After the cooking is over, allow it to cool down, and take out the bits and pieces of the food. Wash it with soap and water and let it dry. If the basket is too sticky, soak it in the water and then use soap to clean it. 

  • Clean It With Cloth

Wipe the inside of the air fryer with a damp microfibre cloth or a non-abrasive sponge dipped in dish soap. Then using a clean wet towel, wipe away any soap residue.  

  • Check The Heating Element

Sometimes lightweight foods can flutter around and stick to the air fryer’s heating element. At such time, disconnect the air fryer and let it cool completely before removing any solid object from the heating element with the help of the brush.

 

  • Use Parchment Paper 

The non-stick paper contains holes that allow even frying of the food. Besides, they make the cleaning process easy. Simply line the paper in the basket, fry the food, and once done remove the paper out and pick and throw it away. Then a quick afterwash will keep the air frying absolutely clean. 

  • Let It Dry Completely

Once all the parts of the air fryer are cleaned with a cloth and soap wherever required, allow it to dry completely. After the parts of the equipment have dried completely, reassemble everything, and is ready for the next frying process of the food items. This will help to keep the food fresh and ward off any smell.
