 1. Make sure it’s completely cool

Air fryers can get very very hot when cooking, so unplug it and wait until it’s completely cooled before you get stuck in with cleaning. Don’t leave it too long though, or you’ll have to deal with solidified fat, which is trickier to remove.

2. Take it apart

There’s also the interior of the air fryer itself, which does not have to be cleaned after every use, but is still good to clean every once in a while.

3. Get scrubbing

Most air fryer baskets have a non-stick coating, which makes the cooking process easier but can be more sensitive to harsh and abrasive cleaning methods. Treat it with care to prolong the life of your machine.

4. Dry clean

Take a soft (ideally microfiber) cloth to remove any remaining grease as well as the leftover water. Then just leave the air fryer to air dry. Don’t put it back inside the machine itself until the air fryer is fully dry, as this could result in steam next time you cook, which is not helpful when aiming for that air-fried crisp.

5. Check the outside

It’s worth giving the outside a wipe down with a slightly damp cloth too, as this can get greasy from daily use.
