Hi! I'm Cathy Yoder - "The REAL Air Fryer Queen" 👑 👩🍳
As a busy mom of 8 kids who doesn't LOVE to cook, I needed a more inspiring way to feed my family--several times a day. That's when I had an "aha moment" and discovered I could use an AIR FRYER to cook real food, using real recipes, REAL FAST.
Now, I'm on a mission to EMPOWER everyday cooks (like me) to feel more confident in the kitchen. With simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, every air fryer recipe here will help you make delicious (and mostly nutritious) air fryer meals in minutes.
So, if you're ready to unleash the power of your air fryer, join me here at Empowered Cooks. We'll make recipes ranging from amazing air fryer chicken to salmon, steak, veggies, baked goods, and desserts in a fraction of the time it normally takes. Are you ready? Let's go! 🚀 - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
One BIG improvement I would like to see manufacturers implement is a removable electric coil. Coils on electric stoves are removable, so the technology is there. It would make it so much easier to keep the air fryer clean, and that is a big plus where food safety is concerned. Yes, you can clean your air fryer, but you cannot fully clean behind that coil, and that is a huge negative for me.
This!
They can but don't want. How will they sell a new one every two years if you can fix and clean it at home yourself? Capitalism and consumerism sucks
I brought my air fryer to a shop that said they could clean it. Well, they found a dead mouse in the heating element. *puke* I don't know if we should still use this. The mouse, he said, has been "cooked." We don't really bother cleaning that part because it is a pain to reach behind the heating element. Now I am wondering if I should just throw the hole thing away. never mind if it's a gift from my late husband. :(
@@azile77 Seriously? Were you aware there were rodents in your house??
No question, I would dump it. No one should use that for food.
@@user-lz6dm5lk9y Thanks. Any recommendations on an airfryer that's easy to clean?
I clean my Air fryer everytime and everyday. Just wanted to keep it clean and it makes me happy.
The next development in air fryers needs to be making the burner area removable and/or somehow able to be disassembled for cleaning. This is probably the biggest problem area for air fryers right now. That burner area necessarily gets dirty and is very hard to clean effectively in every air fryer design that I'm aware of.
I used to be able to remove the burner coil from my stove back in the day. It's more likely that they just want you to buy another one when they get too gross to clean.
Not sure if it's worldwide but the Philips in the country I'm living in rn offers professional air fryer deep cleaning. I'm not sure how much it costs though. But it's nice to know I have that as an option.
Might be worth checking if it's also offered where you live if you use Philips AirFryer.
..nx generation air fryers will incorporate *plug in/out elements ...but not before companies have 1. sold their full quota of airfryer replacements, due to limited cleaning access ... & 2. customers sTop buying them n call for *.. :(
What burner ? It is a hea5ing element , burners produce flames !,
It's blatantly obvious yewou are not an expert in anything , calling it a burner makes that clear just pulling out the screw allows the element to lower enough to get a hand in to clean perfectly !
In addition to a toothbrush, I have found that a small Dollar Store craft foam paintbrush can get into some of the nooks and crannies around the heating element. A degreaser and some Soft Scrub helps.
DISCLAIMER! It is your fault that I bought and use an air fryer and use it regularly.I can't remember how I stumbled on your videos. BUT I am so glad I did! I cook so many foods in it and hardly use the oven. THANKS
Ha ha! Thank you, my friend! I'm glad you did too!
Yes, you turned me onto Air Frying and I love it....hardly ever use my oven. ❤👍🏻
What a welcome relief it is to watch this lovely lady make a logical and helpful presentation. Thank you!
I keep aluminum foil under the basket of my air fryer to keep it clean and sticky free. This had worked well and also parchment paper in basket.
Thank you Kathy for all your tips.
You are welcome!
you will be cancer, aluminum foil should NOT touch your food. search it. baking paper is fine but I don't recommend to use aluminum foil
Finally!!! Someone addressing the mess that builds by the heating coil!! Ironically, earlier this week I had the best success to date cleaning that area of my air fryer. I used a Magic Eraser (Dollar Tree hack version), a pretty good share of elbow grease along with one of the soft cloth wipes you used. Like you said... not perfect but a lot better than it was.
Great! I have tried the magic eraser (in a diff video) and yes it works! Just shredded up my magic eraser lol
@@empoweredcooks Same here but a small price to pay (especially if it's a dup from Dollar Tree) for a TONS cleaner air fryer. 👩🦰
I use the thin ones and it is well worth the cost to get rid of the grime.
Thanks For Sharing I Think I Will Try This One
I just discovered your videos a couple of days ago, and have watched several since. Thank you for all your great info!
We have an air fryer that I've used a bit, but you've made me very excited about the possibilities. Very fun and informative AF videos.
And...I love your delivery! Great stuff.
Thank you so much, Grady! Happy you are here!
I clean mine after every single use. Still looks good as new.
Great job!
I handwash my air fryer basket and inner drain basket with a soft bristle brush after every use. As soon as it has cooled completely, I wipe out any excess grease, then fill it about halfway with water to let it soak so food residue does not dry and harden before a thorough washing. When the heating coil and inner chamber have cooled, I turn the air fryer upside down to make cleaning the inside easier. I use one of those blue shop towels dampened with warm water to thoroughly wipe off the heating coil and the entire surface of the inner chamber. I fold the edges of the shop towel to squeeze it in between the rings of the heating coil. If necessary, I will use some dampened Q-tips to reach through the heating coil to wipe the metal surface behind it.
BCS... Qtips are a great idea, but you just made me think of perhaps using those little square spongy paint pads, that I have left over from a project perhaps to squeeze a little 409 in it and wipe it clean then use another one to dry it up.😉👍 Thanks for the Idea!! 💖😊
I actually had to disconnect the heating element of my air fryer so that I could access the fan blades. I had a sort of calcium deposits all on the ceiling of my fryer, and especially the fan blades. I used a Brillo pad to scrub the blades and ceiling of the fryer. It actually cured that new smell that forced me to stop using the fryer in the first place.
I use a soft bristle brush for the grooves in the basket. Finally received my replacement Cosori air fryer. Still need to open the box and perform the set-up and cleaning.
I use the thin Mr Clean Thin Eraser pads to get up under the burner using a craft stick. It works nicely.
You know, Kathy, as much as you influence the sale of a lot of their products, maybe you could suggest to Cosori that they make a plug-in element that's removable by the user for cleaning. They just might listen to you. It is certainly doable if they want to.
I've just made this suggestion b4 reading your comment :)... I'm sure airfryer manufacts are aware if this 'cleaning deficit' n will, in their own money making time cycle, indeed introduce plug in elements
The wipes are the best!! Thank you for all the tips. Love you site!!
I have Cosori and every time I use it the basket and drawer either go in dishwasher or washed by hand. I also wipe top, sides and base with elbow grease, and looks lovely
You are a brave woman, Cathy 💪. At least you did it with your old recalled model. Have a fantastic weekend ❣️
Great information. Thank you
Hi Cathy!!! I use the Silicone pads. My AF always get grease in . I usually soak it in hot dish soap. I don't use that Dawn power wash.I never can get mine real clean. I do the best I can. It never looks real nasty tho...Thank you for these tips. I will buy that Dawn Power Wash. Great Video my dear friend!!!...🦋
Oh let me know how it works for you! Remind me which brand of air fryer you have?
Thanks for the amazing air fryer tips 😊
If your cooking things with a lot of drippings and grease like bacon for instance, throw a slice or two of bread under the basket!! So much easier
Yes! Such a great hack!
One thing I found that worked really well was boiling water and a light brush with a long handle. Seemed to work better than dawn for me.
I use the Rubbermaid Reveal Cordless scrubber on my basket. You can really get in the grooves and under the top lip, etc. I was SHOCKED how much stuff I scrubbed off my "clean" basket the first time I used this scrubber brush on it 🤢
I clean my fryer after every use. Sometimes it is a quick rinse and sometimes more in-depth, it depends on what I made in it. I don't cook foods that splatter a lot, which helps keep the top burner area clean. There is a splatter screen one can get for the Cosori Pro 2, but I don't recommend it after trying it myself. Sure it can help hold back the mess, but due to the small holes it increases cook times exponentially and can be frustrating. I was afraid chicken would splatter a lot, but it doesn't. I don't make bacon in the air fryer, that is a train wreck, microwaves are for bacon in my book. I also do not make steaks and the like in the fryer, I have to have those grill marks. Grill pans (and BBQs for those who have them, I don't sadly) are for steaks and the like in my book.
I like the foil liner idea for the lower basket mentioned in the comments. I don't know why I never thought of it. Although I am wondering if there is a problem using it with the non-stick coating over time?
I also use the parchment liners without the holes when I cook most things.
I did pick up some of that Dawn Power Wash (nuke bomb stuff). It works well, but I don't have a sprayer in my (not sure I can call it a kitchen) so I have to try to use the faucet of the sink, which is an Olympic event given the size of the basket verses the dimensions of the sink and faucet.
I'm going to pick up those rags though!
Dollar Tree can be ones friend as well.:)
🎯 Exactly same here to everything you said
Cathy, I had already bought an Emeril (the 1st one) countertop air fryer before I found your channel and all your wonderful advice. I can't find anything on cleaning the blower? area except one guy who turns the thing on its side. Plus he doesn't show how to get any moisture out of that area. Will using baking soda and water burn off if I use that, do you think>> I wish I had waited now to get a Cosori! And I won't hold you responsible if anything happens to it. Thank you!
Great, practical, and necessary information, thank you! I clean after every use, and I avoid foods that will make a pretty big mess. I just do not like to clean behind greasy foods.
What is the life expectancy on most of these air fryers if they are well maintained? Let us say the air fryer is used once a day for five days each week, just as an example.
@@osakarose5612 Thank you. Well, mine might last ten years then because I will not use mine nearly as much as Cathy uses her air fryers. I only cook for one, and many days I just eat soup with added pasta or rice. If the air fryer did only last five years, that would come out to a cost of about $8.33 a month. Prima facie that is not a lot of money, but compared to say my Black & Decker food processor, it is expensive. I bought my food processor in the mid 1980s, and it is still going strong. Of course, I no longer use it every week, either, but still it has lasted many years.
Baskets are never the problem, they're easily cleaned every time, it's the gunge you can't reach that annoys me. Every brand I've looked at has the same problem. Whoever designed them wants a good kick! Best I've managed is a small bottle brush wrapped in a cut down and sewn on microfibre cloth. The wire stem of the brush gives enough stiffness to put some pressure on the grease to scrub and it's narrow enough to get into most of the area, just not all of it.
I just got my replacement from the recall, thought about at least tearing downing my old one so that I can have spare parts. Do you think its worth disassembling for spare parts or should I just toss the old one since it has the cord cut?
Hey Cathy... thanks again!! :)
Great video it would be a good idea to unplug the air fryer before wiping down the heating coils.
Have you tried a steam cleaner? Especially the one with the brush head tip. I heard it helps to get of the hard baked on grease.
Please keep in mind that even when unplugged you can still get shocked, and shocked bad.
Capacitors can retain a charge for days or weeks, and if you touch them you can be badly shocked or die, this is how people die when messing around with trashed microwave.
Right to Repair needs to include Right to Clean.
I cannot believe these things are so hard to clean
I have an Air Fryer Oven, and when cleaning it the other day I notice how nasty the top was.
I bought some oven cleaning stuff and sprayed on it hoping it would allow me to easily wipe it off....nope, it also dried up on it making it even worst.
I tried using toothbrushes and everything else and nothing worked so I was left with no other option but to take it apart.
I had already taken it apart before after spraying Dawn Power Spray in it and forgetting about it, which it ran down the sides into the bottom. So I took it apart out of fear of it damaging something which I didn't need to do because theres no electronics in the bottom of the air fryer.
Taking it apart is easy, theres maybe 9 screws on the bottom and then like 5 on each side, and the metal case just pulls off.
The burner element is also easy to disconnect, it just has 2 electrical connectors you pull off....In the video its likely the blue and red wire going to the burner.
Then I ran into trouble.
The top burner is held on with a screw on mine....a screw that needs the smallest screw driver in the world, and was screwed on by the strongest man i the world it seems.
I ended up stripping out the screw trying to get it off, but its held on by a nut on the other side.
To get to the nut though I had to remove the light and take out more screws to move the back panel enough to fit a socket screw driver around it.
I then removed the burner and it is so much easier to clean
The fan can even be removed by a socket making it even easier to clean.
The fact you have to go through so much to remove the burner to clean it is a poor design, the same is true for if you ever need to replace the burner like you can do on an oven.
...also I forgot how sharp the edges of the metal is and cut my hands all up again, no idea why they are as sharp as razor blades.
In the video it looked like she could have disconnected the blue and red wire to the burner without disassembling it more.
ALSO please keep in mind that even when unplugged you can still get shocked, and shocked bad.
Capacitors can retain a charge for days or weeks, and if you touch them you can be badly shocked or die, this is how people die when messing around with microwave.
Thank you for the video
You're welcome!
I have a bin with dish soap and tiny bit of degreaser and have it soak a bit to loosen it up. Simple maintenance of any kind is enough. I believe your “tools & cleaners” are the most important
I wash my baskets properly after each use, then they don’t need a deep clean, I also wipe around and over the elements once cooled and unplugged from the wall socket with a damp cloth after each use, takes 2 minutes, then once a month or so, I clean around the elements using a toothbrush brush and cleaning solution as you did, but, because they are wiped over after each use they are usually in pretty good shape. After I have deep cleaned, I leave them open to air dry any dampness there maybe before using. ❤
Well done, Janet!
The best thing I have found that works for those stubborn oil stains is the use of the Mr Clean erasers
There are reviews on Amazon of the parchment paper catching fire. I'm thinking of ordering the silicone inserts instead.
Good gosh, girl, I don't do any of that. About every 3-4 weeks, a spray oven off on a paper towel and wipe it on the inside and walk away. When I get around to it, I come back and wipe all that off. That's for the inside. For the baskets, I put them in the dishwasher probably every three or four days and at least once a week. My cosori blaze looks like brand new all the time except up above that top coil. It looks fair but definitely could look better if I knew how to do it.
Love Dawn power wash !! Worth every pennie !! Great video !!!
Can you explain what this powder is
Oh thank you so much for the tip on the hydrogen peroxide and baking soda. Is it a 1 to 1 ratio of each? I do clean mine regularly after use. The Ninja I have has long blades but not easy to get to due the heating coils. I do what I can with a damp paper towel and my skinny fingers in that area. I worry I'll mess up those heating coils.
Great question! I didn’t really measure it. Just a good consistency so it’s easy to work with but not too runny!
First of all for me I'm not a big fan of the parchment paper in the af but to each their own I do make small foil trays to cook like fish or even mini meatloaves, second I wipe up the basket and the pan as soon as the food is done cooking with paper towels like Cooking bacon for instance I remove the bacon then wipe the inside of the basket then separate the basket and bottom and wipe the underside of the basket, then empty the grease in the pan into whatever you store bacon grease in then wipe up the pan. Much easier if done while hot but be careful not to burn yourself. I use my af every day so after about a year or so I simply buy a new one because of the build up under the burner.
That works too!
I love the power wash have it using it alot
Yessss!
Hi! New here-Not even a minute into this video and I realized I’m going to like this channel 😂🎉.
Welcome!! ❤️
Thank you
Thank you for this. It helped me finally decide that my air-fryer is not for me. It's just too much work to clean. Maybe if the basket was stainless steel and I could scrub it with metal wool, but this non-stick coating doesn't work and means you can't properly scrub. I'm out.
I have a removable filter in my Ninja air fryer and I can’t seem to get it clean, I’ve soaked it, scrubbed it, tried different grease removers, nothing seems to work. Do you think oven cleaner would work? Thanks!
I'm not sure what material your filter is made from, but I've been using Fulsol from Fuller Brush Company for years to keep my stove hood filter clean. It's very strong and must be diluted according to directions though. It actually took the painted markings off of my oven knob when my housekeeper used it full strength 😬
I would have been afraid to actually turn my air fryer upside down for cleaning until I saw this video.
Ha! What did you find Pat? You have the Power XL oven style, right? How is that burner area cleaning process?
@@empoweredcooks I have a removable screen on top that I clean.
I haven't actually turned my AF oven over yet, it's quite heavy. Will think about it though. 😅
I turn my AF upside down all the rime. Gotta keep,it clean or the grease will build up, also I warm my up first, warm , low as your AF goes down to, 1 minute UNPLUG and clean warm grease wipes off easier
I tried taking mine apart ...after about 35 screws later, I changed my mind...😂
yes, it's a trainwreck! ha ha!
I was wondering what kind of air fryer you are showing here? I like the idea of the entire basket lifting out versus a try that sits in the bottom that you will need to remove for cleaning.
I clean my AF every Time i use Fatty stuff. Breaded stuff often only needs a quick pull, over at the sink with kitchen towel to get rid of the crumbs. I got little Backing Tray that fits into my cosori and this does the job well. No mess anymore. Esp. for Chicken wings, they go an rack and i add backing paper the fat drips on the paper meat gets juicy and crunchy.And tray is cleaned in mimutes , when theres more i soak it Water and dish soap. Done. The worst i have is i wont getting rid of the oily resudues even put i boiling water and fat remover. After did Chickpeas since than the fat has burned in even after careful cleaning , no chanche, also the no stick is damage even with very careful cleaning. I have some sucess with a silicone sponge for cleaning dishes , soft enough for the basket and get rid of raw left opvrs and getting better into side vents.
I just put the baskets in the dishwasher whenever I use them, simple!
They should design them to enable cleaning behind the element
it would make it s much easier if manufactures made the element removable so the airfryer can be cleaned underneath
agreed!
Cosori tray silicone protectors all disintegrated and some of the finish on the base of the basket base corners have chipped off. Did contact company but have received no response. I’m thinking that a phone call might be my next move.?
When i got my oven cleaner they told me not to touch the tubes when cleaning, so is this not bad to touch the roof tubes of an airfryer?
For getting rid of the smell, do you use just white vinegar and lemon juice, or do you also add water?
I got rid of my air fryer because it was too dirty and impossible to clean well. I bought a ninja speedi, and I am so happy. Very easy to clean, you just need to use the steam feature, then open the lid and clean it. Do this every week and your ninja speedi will be clean all the time. I will only buy again an air fryer if a new technology arise allowing you to clean the top easily.
We’re did you get the products from
Put the basket in the dishwasher
I’m not being funny, but doesn’t everyone wash and clean their air fryer basket and bottom container after use? Just me?
I guess you don’t know what you don’t know.
Personally, I wouldn’t dream of leaving my air fryer dirty, but maybe some people think of them as more like an oven than a pot or pan.
I do lol.
@@osakarose5612😊
I do
My wife does… and for some reason thinks that using parchment or foil to line the basket defeats the purpose of using the air fryer.
I am just looking at this hoping for a solution to cleaning the elements and fan area. I just cut my fingers on the edge of the fan while trying to clean the area underneath the versazone elements. Just for info…..be careful!😢
I would never think to take apart my air fryer to clean it. It would be like trying to take apart my toaster. 🥴 Besides I think that taking it apart would probably void any warranty.
💖👍
lol, yes... I was glad to test it out on our recalled one that we were getting rid of anyway. Now we know, it's not worth it! :)
As far as I'm concerned, it is just like keeping the burners on your stove clean. If you have a stove with grates on it for each burner, you would have to move them to clean around and under them. I don't do that anymore since I use a ceramic cooktop but I used to hate doing it on my old stove. That should tell you I didn't do it every time I should have! Now, that being said, I am not a nut about keeping my airfryer clean. I don't wash the basket every time I use it and, when I do, I put it in the dishwasher. I use a lot of panko crumbs on what I'm cooking in it and I am diligent about getting them swept out each time. Otherwise, if I don't make a really big mess in it, I probably don't clean it up more than every 2 to 4 uses. With the amount of heat that's developed in there, there won't be many germs living in there.
Oven cleaner works amazing and put a little cling film to keep it moist. The only thing is you have be careful how you spray so you don’t damage the element. It will just wipe off. Ps. Give a bit of time to take affect.
1:23 It sounds like you said : " Many times when I'm on cocaine..." I had to turn the closed captioning just to make sure...🤣🤣🤣
What's the dawn powder. Is it like washing up liquid
I use corn starch to get the grease out
Oh nice!
If you remove the burner, you just lost your warranty .
Yes, good point!
I need to know how to clean the Ninja Foodi Air frier, iit is so different to that one
You could apply similar principles!
I've used Dawn Power Wash for my airfryer and it does a lousy job of getting rid of sticky residue or built up gunk. Even if I leave it for ages. Not sure what I'm doing wrong there.
Try using a Mr. Clean eraser cloth after the dawn. Works for me and doesn’t hurt the nonstick.
I also didn't have much luck with Dawn Power Wash. A Magic Eraser worked well for me, especially on the metal shiny part.
Same here. I’ve even resorted to a metal scrubbie and Powerwash. But even that doesn’t get it all. I think that if I cleaned it after every use, maybe I won’t have to use the metal scrubbie which will eventually take off the Teflon nonstick.
Good Morning, kiddo! Good timing, Cathy, I just received my re-placement AIR Fryer and I’m a happy camper again!!!! I’m sure you can’t remember all of us but I was the one whose AF (one night in the beginning of making wings) had a digit readout appear (E1) and my unit would not work…I called Cosori the next day and was re-directed to their email address where I panically detailed my problem…and to my surprise I received a response one hour later telling me sorry about my problem but that someone would definitely get back to me in three days because if the three day Memorial weekend…three days later I received another email from their customer service team asking me for all of the pertinent AF info…eleven days later my new Corsori arrived at my day!!! Wow, I’ve never had such wonderful and fast response from any other company! So if anyone has any doubts of what air fryer to buy, Cosori is the one! I use mine practically every day especially because of you and your mouth watering videos and with the help of your AF cookbook! Thank you! Have a good weekend…now what can I make next?🫶
Hmm, what brand of air fryer do you have? My original air fryer was a Phillips XXL and it is now at my dads house. It seems to be a different coating, and it impossible to get the layer of grease off.
I wonder if a steam cleaner could get under that burner coil?
would it be safe though?
Hmm, haven't tried it! You'd think it would be OK, since the air fryer can produce steam/smoke when cooking food.
@@empoweredcooks great point about the steam when cooking.
I have a Bissel Steam shot and it would get under and around that coil nicely.
Except that manufacturers are advising customerrs noT to put water in airfryer draws & heat machine up as steam can damage controls :/
Once a year we take our Phillips XL apart and deep clean, people, it is UGLY in there. When this one stops working I will go back to the old Convection Countertop Air Fryer, SO MUCH cleaner😅
The Philips where I'm currently living in offers professional air fryer deep cleaning service for a price. You might wanna check that out if it's also offered where you live.
@@AutumnBBBE Thank you, I will definitely enquire ut I doubt it.

Well i kniw what im doing tomorrow. I can smell it and no one else in the house can, but it drives me mad! Heres hoping it works. Hate my too sensitive nose.
How do you clean the top where the eye at
As I am preparing to remove my food, I turn on my hot water, it take a bit of time to get to my kitchen. Take the food out, a couple shots of Dawn and hot water. After dinner, my dish brush on the grate and my scrubber sponge on the container. Occasionally if there is room, in the dishwasher. Still like new
That’s what I was thinking!
I just got my aircfryerca few months ago. Been cleaning the badket religiously but just took a peek up top yesterday....why I found your video! Yuck. Thanks for the tips. Now to go clean it!!
You've got this!
This the only thing i want is to be able to clean the top and heating element i love using air fryer for cooking...
Ok maybe l am a little naïve! However, I wash and clean my ninja air fryer basket and inside container. Every time I use it, I cannot believe that people would allow it to get in to that sort of state! 😮. It’s so easy to clean with soap and hot water!
To clean your drain is pour backing a small box down your drain then flood it with vinegar problem solved and it leaves a fresh smell
Dawn Power wash should be used outside! It will hurt anyone with a sensitive respiratory system as it is a very harsh chemical.
Dual blaze or phillips xxl? İ trust you
Dual Blaze!
"College student home". Priceless.
I am looking for a scrubbing bubbles type of cleaner that will do all the hard work. I just wanna rinse the basket out. The closest thing to a great scrubbing bubbles type cleaner is 2 cups of hot water, a few squirts of dishwashing liquid, about 3 tablespoons of baking soda, and about a half a cup of white vinegar of about 5% acidity. I put the ingredients in the basket and waited about 20 mins. I then give the basket a scrubbing and rinse. This method does a good job cleaning it.
***A word of warning. Teflon is toxic, and contains forever chemicals that stay in your body forever, even with a good detox method. Avoid air fryers that use Teflon coating for the basket and crisper tray, and get one that uses stainless steel.
Maybe a sandblaster would work? 😂
😂

I am in a tropical climate and if I leave behind a crumb I can get an ant infestation. It happened with the air fryer. So the pan, the outside part, sometimes little bits of food get in there I guess because I saw ants crawl out. I blew it out with compressed air - but can I submerge the whole pan in water? Not just wash the inside? thanks
With a steam cleaner?
I clean my air fryer basket a day after I use it, but I don't clean the burner.
It might be a little scary if you peek up there!
Can you just use paper towel to clean the upper part of the air fryer?
If your air fryer has a persistent plastic smell there may have been bits of packaging foam broken off that worked its way further inside your machine. the machine should have been in a sealed plastic bag to stop this but I've seen appliances where they have been taken out of the bag then repacked and the box sealed as 'new'. Potential fire hazard.
Good tip! I have not had that issue before though.
Like everything else made today, it's designed to be used until the warranty period is up then toss it and buy a new one. Because all of these corporations have to keep their ESG score up, right?
I have 2 comments. 1) NEVER pull the plug out the way you did!!! Hold onto the thick part which holds the prongs. By pulling the cord, you risk damage to the plug unit, and can cause electric shock if the connection is broken.
2) I have a model chosen by my hubby, and not me. The fan section is permanently attached to the lid. I can’t turn it over, either. I will try the cloth as suggested.
Also, even though it says all the removable parts are dishwasher safe, I have discovered that the non-stick coating was damaged, and now those pieces are rusting. So very sad. 😢😢😢
I would suggest that pieces are washed only by hand.
I turned mine upside down and I almost puked. Deep cleaning happening today
Cathy can I make hamburger stake in my air fryer
Yes, for sure!
Lol
This is a lot of work a lot. There should be or must be a simple solution to just get all the gunk to wash off.
