I use a Dawn bristle brush with soap dispenser which has softer bristles than my other sink brush and it works better at cleaning the mesh baskets. I tried the firmer bristle brush and it takes twice as long to clean. For whatever reason the softer bristle brush gets the job done much faster and easier.
When I air fry messy things, I use the broiler pan on the bottom shelf, lined with foil to catch all the drips and protect the bottom heating element. Makes for super easy cleanup.
First of all I'm new to air frying and my new Breville Smart Oven. I haven't done much yet because I wanted to learn how to clean it properly first. I have done the number of pizzas and some Pillsbury cinnamon rolls. So what I did, what's the place of barrier between the top heating elements between the pizza and the top heating elements. And I am absolutely convinced that placing any kind of a barrier underneath or above the heating element will hinder the cooking process. It basically reflects the heat back and shuts off the heat because the machine feels that it's reached this baking temperature therefore not really cooking the food at the desired temperature. I have proved it to myself many times now. When I removed the barrier the oven attained the desired temperature quickly and cook the food properly. Here's a link to a product that I think May helping this regard. I haven't completely tested these yet. But I bet they work, or will greatly reduce the amount of cleanup and splattering going on without deflecting the Heat and changing the cooking values and times and done this. Here's another tip that I use. Before I use my oven I saw a video here on TH-cam showing how food particles and crumbs will discolor the crumb tray. so they used aluminum foil down there instead. I ordered a smaller, almost the exact size has the crumb tray itself Amazon basics silicone baking mat. And just by placing it carefully and not trying to trim it, which probably would allow some of the fibers inside the mat to circulate with the food, I just move it around until it's a perfect fit and the bottom Trey slides in and out easily. I found that if I place it wrong and it's a little tight coming out I take one finger and press down a little bit in the center of the tray and it slides right out. One last thought. I am going to try to clean the inside after using with a homemade glass cleaner as described by another Breville owner. It's water vinegar and alcohol, I use 99% alcohol because of the cleaning power of 99% . Here's the recipe for the glass cleaner - One part vinegar - Two parts water - Two ounces 99% alcohol If you want to test this hypothesis Take a black Sharpie Marker and make a mark on something . Then try rubbing alcohol to clean it off And then try 99% alcohol . You will quickly see The cleaning properties of 99% . I learned this Secret From a professional Automobile detailer On TH-cam Showing his homemade concoction for cleaning Auto interiors. This video can be found at " sweet project cars, upholstery cleaning " Here's the recipe and video for the cleaner using 99% alcohol. Who knows you may have dirty upholstery that needs cleaning as well. th-cam.com/video/2Ksid0p-XO0/w-d-xo.html Bon Appétit
“Vi-JIT-ibles” 😅❤ You are too cute. 😊 I just ordered the perforated parchment paper pre-cut for my Ninja Foodi oven air fryer. (But I also just tried some from a roll and that seemed to work fine.) It’s also coming with a silicone mat for the crumb/drip tray. Right now my tray and basket are soaked with oven cleaner spray. You are correct that putting them in the dishwasher will just harden the dirt. I used a copper scouring pad on the basket and will try next on the tray.
My apologies for the late response peacefrog0521…Thank you very much my dear, you are so sweet 🥰Can not air-fry anything without using parchment papers…helps so much with the grease mess!
My understanding is that lining our air fryers with tin foil is a bad idea, which is sad because I've been using it for a couple of years. Apparently, it voids the warranty- if anyone still has an active warranty, or even cares about that. Tin foil supposedly will ruin the finish on the inside walls & bottom of air fryer, as well as wear out the heating elements on these appliances. I found this out when I began researching why my heating elements had 'dead spots'~ sections along the elements that no longer get red hot during cooking. I was told that there is a reaction w/the aluminum foil & the inside surfaces, as well as the elements. Next I will try the silicone oven liners, cutting them to size if necessary. I do use parchment paper under my food, being careful not to have extra bits over the edges, because the paper will burn if it gets super hot, or comes in contact with the heating elements. You can order parchment liners for various size air fryer baskets or trays/racks, they are pre-made w/holes in them. =)
I used those silicon cookies sheet and i punched whole in it it works very well and don’t need to waste paper again and again. What about the wood cutting board over the oven ? It is there to protect burns while in use .
I have to try them…thanks for sharing🙏 I love the Wood cutting board it has many benefits … a great place to put hot pans or dishes once you take them out of the oven. It protects your cupboard above and or items placed on it. Also very convenient as a cutting board …and you can use it as cheese display board…the board also gives back space taken by the oven. It is a must I absolutely love it💕🌸Not to mention it makes my smart Oven Air Fryer looks much better💯🌟
I know it sounds self explanatory but, 🤣. Did you put a lot of holes in it, seems like a good idea for circulation. Gives me an idea to find a small hole puncher.
Thank you soooooo much, I appreciate it🌼💖I usually fold one part of the foil under the end edge of the tray, it is little tricky though to slide it through at first but it gets easier as you slides it in. Thanks 🙏 for watch watching Rana 💖🌷🌸
It is hard to clean…I am usually careful of what to cook to avoid dripping but I would say try the Bar keepers friend, it will help just make sure to clean it well afterwards and turn the air fryer on with no food keeping the door open for at least 5 minutes kind of a sanitizing process afterwards Thank you for watching 🙏🌷
I cleaned mine but it was difficult, I showed little bit how I cleaned it in my “how to deep clean smart oven” video. Thank you for watching Latitube 🙏💖
Please watch my other video how to deep clean your air fryer th-cam.com/video/kpIz5DN_J_4/w-d-xo.html I showed a little bit how to clean the heating elements. I hope that helps…Thank you for watching Deborah 🙏🥰💕🌷
Hi, thank you so much for your videos! I just bought the smaller smart oven in Blue but the directions say not to use any paper, plastic, or cardboard because their flammable & it says not to use foil anywhere in oven because it will cause overheating-are they just being extra careful with the safeguards? I want to take your advice but a bit scared. Thank you in advance!
Usually companies do that for liability reasons. I use foil all the time to cover Casseroles as well 🥘 but of course, it is what you’re comfortable with 💓 Thank you for watching 🙏
Coco Lee yes I use the stainless steel cleaner but I spray it on the paper towels or a soft cloth first and then I wipe…I usually don’t wipe over the prints but just around them. My prints are still perfect 🌟👍
Please don’t put the pans or the Air Fryer Basket in the dishwasher…you could watch my other video for tips and tricks in how to keep your air fryer clean th-cam.com/video/D1GpyT6l3dc/w-d-xo.html Thank you so much for watching Mariam 🙏💕🌸

Thank you🙏🦋I used to do that but then I felt it blocks the heat from circulating and it takes longer for the food to get Air Fried.

*Nice! You found the pre-made papers~ good deal =)
Thank you for your practical suggestions.
My pleasure! You are so sweet🌷💖
I use perforated grill mats in the basket.
Could you share which ones you use? Are they the ones for grilling?
They are currently unavailable according to Amazon right now but they are called grilled mesh mat by Cook Time.@@analissalowe8469

Yes the more holes you put the better…it helps with the air circulation. A small hole puncher is a good idea 👍 Thank you for watching Laruebridge 🌸🌷
how do you clean on and around the quartz heating elements??
I'm new to the AF world and am having a problem with cleaning the baked-on stuff on the side walls of the oven. Any tips?
Hi Lisa…The side walls is little tricky… watch my other video “How to Deep Clean Smart Oven” for some tips.
Thank you for watching 🙏🌷
How do you keep the foil from flying in the bottom tray, great video btw
Thank you soooooo much, I appreciate it🌼💖I usually fold one part of the foil under the end edge of the tray, it is little tricky though to slide it through at first but it gets easier as you slides it in.
Thanks 🙏 for watch watching Rana 💖🌷🌸

What kind of degreaser wipes do you use?;
Watch many video of how to clean breville toaster but none of them clean the heating element on the top. I guess it's impossible to clean?
I cleaned mine but it was difficult, I showed little bit how I cleaned it in my “how to deep clean smart oven” video.
Thank you for watching Latitube 🙏💖
I recently bought this, love it but don’t know how to clean the heating elements without ruining them.

Dont use anything but a damp rag or paper towel and make sure everything in oven is dry when you use it!

Great tip on parchment paper ty
My pleasure Artie Show🙏🌸
I appreciate your nice comment 💕🌷
Except aside from veggies, that would defeat the entire purpose of the basket.
How do you protect the print outside the oven?
I would never use Clorox to clean it…it will remove the prints…Mine is still perfect 👍
Thanks for watching Coco Lee 🙏🌸💖
@@savorthemoment4440 did you use stainless steel cleaner to clean the outside? How did you maintain the prints not to wash out?
Coco Lee yes I use the stainless steel cleaner but I spray it on the paper towels or a soft cloth first and then I wipe…I usually don’t wipe over the prints but just around them. My prints are still perfect 🌟👍
@@savorthemoment4440 thank u sooo much
My pleasure always Coco Lee 💕 Have a Beautifuuuuul day ☀️🌷🦋
That very bottom try she can just pull it out & wipe it rather than reaching in & wiping it out.
Can I put the pans, the air fry... etc in the dishwasher cold cycle??
Please don’t put the pans or the Air Fryer Basket in the dishwasher…you could watch my other video for tips and tricks in how to keep your air fryer clean

Thank you so much Mariam🙏🥰 I am so glad that you were able to clean it with my suggestions…Now you know the magic trick 👍
Breville site says do not put any of their accessories in the dishwasher.
