Common questions
How do I get baked-on grease off my air fryer basket?
Let hot water and washing-up liquid soften it first instead of scrubbing. Scrubbing scratches the non-stick, and scratched coating makes food stick even more.
Can air fryer baskets go in the dishwasher?
Many can, so check your manual. Dishwasher detergent is harsh, though, and wears non-stick coatings faster than washing by hand.
What should I never use to clean an air fryer?
Steel wool, scouring powder, oven cleaner and metal scrapers on the non-stick parts. Never put the main unit in water. Always unplug it and let it cool first.
