Air fryers have become a staple in many kitchens, offering a healthier alternative to traditional frying methods. However, like any kitchen appliance, air fryers require regular maintenance to avoid common mistakes and ensure they function efficiently and produce delicious results every time. Over time, food residue, grease, and oil can accumulate inside the appliance, leading to unpleasant odours, reduced cooking performance, and even potential health hazards. Regular cleaning not only ensures optimal cooking results but also prolongs the lifespan of your air fryer, saving you money in the long run. Eager to show her followers on TikTok how to “effortlessly” clean an air fryer, @jessicamay_home has shared the “best way” to do so. Jessica captioned the video: “My favourite cleaning hack for cleaning my air fryer. All you need is half a cup of bicarbonate of soda, a squeeze of Fairy Max Power and boiling water. Then leave for 20 minutes. “Fairy [washing up liquid] makes for an effortless clean with four times less scrubbing.” She started by showing the camera her air fryer baskets that were covered in grease before carrying out the method. The cleaning influencer finished off by using a sponge and gave the baskets a light scrub and rinse. After rinsing, make sure the basket is completely dry before putting the air fryer back together. Sharing the amazing cleaning results, Jessica said: “Look at that. It’s shiny, squeaky clean and ready to feed the family again.” As a bonus step, households can use a damp microfibre cloth to wipe down the exterior of the air fryer, removing any splatters or spills. Be sure to pay extra attention to the control panel and buttons, taking care not to let any water seep into the electrical components. Once the air fryer has been deep cleaned, it’s worth cleaning it after each use to prevent the buildup of grease and food residue, even if you focus on cleaning the basket.
