How To Clean The Air Fryer And How Often?
How to clean the air fryer and how often? The frequency with which you will clean the deep fryer does not follow a rule, it will depend on what you prepare, how you prepare it and how often.
When preparing foods like french fries that barely make the fryer dirty, you can use it more times before washing. If your basket is non-stick, just wipe it with a paper towel.

Let's Wash The Air Fryer Inside
Resistance (Top)
The resistance is the part that heats up the air fryer. Clean the resistance at least once a week. As you use the deep fryer, food residues and fat will settle there.

To clean the resistance, wait for it to cool down, remove the residues with a brush or toothpick and wipe with a damp cloth. You can turn the air fryer upside down for easy cleaning.
Interior (sides and bottom)
To clean the interior, use a soft cloth or sponge and detergent.
