How can I easily clean my air fryer?

Just like cleaning your outdoor grill or kitchen coffee maker, cleaning an air fryer should be on your cleaning radar as much as every couple of uses. As part of an active kitchen cleanup routine, keeping your air fryer clean will make the rest of the kitchen cleaning that much easier and more efficient. 

To get started cleaning your air fryer, follow these steps:

  • Unplug the appliance and allow it to cool if you have just used it
  • Remove the inner basket and pan
    • Clean these with a warm soapy water mixture
    • The more often these are cleaned, the easier it will be as there will be less stuck on grime and debris
    • You may need to soak these in warm soapy water to help loosen things up
  • While the inner basket and pan are still removed, start to clean the bottom chamber
    • This area will build up dripped grease and food debris
    • You can use a damp microfiber cloth or a damp paper towel depending on how messy this area is
    • Allow it to dry before putting the basket and pan back in
  • Clean the heating element
    • This can be wiped down with a damp microfiber cloth
    • Make sure that this is completely cooled down before touching it and fully dried before reinstalling it
  • Clean the exterior of the appliance
    • Depending on how dirty the exterior is, it may just need a quick wipedown with a microfiber cloth
    • You may need to use a soapy water solution or all purpose cleaner for extra scrubbing power if the exterior is really grimy

Are there any precautions to take when cleaning my airfryer?

The only precautions when cleaning an airfryer are to make sure that the unit is unplugged and completely cooled down before cleaning it. You will also want to make sure to not submerge the air fryer in water, as it will damage it. 

How can I clean my airfryer fast?

The best way to get really quick and efficient with cleaning your airfryer (or any space) is to do it consistently! Not only will consistent cleaning make you faster and more efficient in your own process, the more often you clean something, the easier it will be. There will be less built up debris and grease, so it won’t take too much effort to do a quick wipedown after each use. 

You will want to aim to clean your airfryer after each use if there was a lot of dripped grease or food debris, and at least every few uses if there is an extraordinary mess made during a use.
