Love your air fryer but dread the cleanup? You're not alone! That crispy goodness often leaves behind a greasy mess in the basket. But fear not! Cleaning your air fryer basket is easier than you think.
First, always unplug your air fryer and let the basket cool completely. Then, remove any large food particles. For a quick clean, try soaking the basket in hot, soapy water for about 10-15 minutes. Scrub gently with a non-abrasive sponge or brush. Stubborn grease? Make a paste of baking soda and water and apply it to the affected areas. Let it sit for a few minutes before scrubbing.
For extra tough grime, a mixture of vinegar and water can also work wonders. Boil the solution in the air fryer (following manufacturer's instructions) or simply let the basket soak in it. Once clean, thoroughly rinse and dry the basket before using it again. Regular cleaning not only keeps your air fryer performing its best but also helps prevent unpleasant odors and ensures food safety. Happy frying!
