Air Fryer Cleaning Struggles

Hey Reddit! I’ve been a longtime member but this is my first post. 😅 I’ve had my air fryer for a few years now and, while it was easy to clean at first, it’s become a real challenge lately. I’ve tried so many methods — from dish soap and scrubbing to filling it with water and some soap and running it to essentially boil the mixture for easier cleaning. It worked the first time, but I haven’t had the same luck since. I’ve even experimented with adding lemon juice and vinegar, but nothing seems to do the trick.

Does anyone have any tips or tricks for getting rid of grease buildup in the basket and rack?

P.S. I took a picture to show the buildup, but for some reason, it won’t let me upload it.

    Hey there! It sounds like you’re dealing with some stubborn grease buildup in your air fryer. Here are a few additional tips you might find helpful:

    1. Baking Soda Paste: Make a paste with baking soda and a little water. Apply it to the greasy areas and let it sit for 15-30 minutes. The baking soda can help break down the grease. After that, scrub with a non-abrasive sponge.

    2. Soak in Hot Water: If the grease is really tough, try soaking the basket and rack in hot, soapy water for a longer period (1-2 hours) before scrubbing.

    3. Dishwasher: If your air fryer basket is dishwasher-safe, you might want to give it a wash in the dishwasher. The high temperature and strong detergent can work wonders.

    4. Use a Soft Brush: A soft-bristle brush (like a toothbrush) can help get into the nooks and crannies without scratching the surface.

    5. Commercial Degreasers: There are also commercial degreasers available that are safe for kitchen appliances. Just make sure to rinse thoroughly after using them.

    6. Preventive Measures: For the future, try to do a quick clean after each use to prevent buildup. A quick rinse and wipe down can make it much easier later on.

    Good luck! I hope one of these methods works for you!
