Repeated use of an air-fryer is only going to lead to a build up of grease and grime over time.
While you may think you’re getting rid of the grease when you give the air-fryer a wipe, sometimes a deep clean is needed.
Taking to the social media platform of TikTok, one woman revealed her “favourite cleaning hack” for making the air-fryer sparkling clean.
On the video, Jessica said: “This is my favourite, effortless cleaning hack for when it comes to cleaning my air-fryer.”
Jessica said “all you need” is one cup of bicarbonate of soda and a squeeze of washing-up liquid to put in the air-fryer basket.
Then you add boiling water from the kettle and “leave for 20 minutes”; afterwards, Jessica promised: “You will see how much grease has lifted.”
The cleaning enthusiast said: “You now have an effortless clean with four times less scrubbing.
“All you need to do now to finish cleaning your air-fryer is to give it a light little scrub and then rinse.”
Jessica advised: “Make sure everything is completely dry before putting it back together.”
Once done, Jessica described her air-fryer as “shiny, squeaky clean and ready to feed the family again”.
While Jessica’s tip will definitely give the air-fryer a deep clean, the habit of washing the kitchen appliance after every use might be good to do.
By washing the air-fryer after every use, you’re prohibiting the possibility of dirt and food particles being baked onto the appliance.
The longer the air-fryer isn’t cleaned, the more likely you will need Jessica’s cleaning hack to get rid of the grime.
