Air Fryer Recipes

Your air fryer works hard — and it deserves a proper clean. Grease builds up quickly in baskets, trays, and even the heating element, especially if you cook fatty foods like sausages, wings, or bacon. This guide walks you through the safest and most effective ways to clean your air fryer, what kind of air fryer cleaning spray to use, and the best degreasers for tough, baked-on messes.

Here’s a foolproof cleaning routine:

Unplug your air fryer and let it cool completely.
Remove the basket and tray. Soak them in warm soapy water for 10–15 minutes.
Use a soft brush or sponge, no metal scouring pads!
For baked-on grease, apply a non-toxic degreasing spray (see below).
Wipe the inside of the basket area and drawer with a damp cloth.
Carefully wipe the heating element with a soft cloth dipped in warm water (or use a toothbrush).
Let everything dry fully before reassembling.

Tip: Never submerge the main unit or use harsh oven cleaners. Your air fryer needs a gentler touch.
