For stubborn grease, you can make a paste. First, make sure the air fryer is off, unplugged, and completely cool.
1. Mix 2 tablespoons of baking soda with 1 tablespoon of water to form a spreadable paste.
2. Use a sponge to spread the paste on the basket and crisper plate and scrub.
3. Let it sit for 15 minutes.
4. Rinse and then wash with soap and water before using again. Remember, never use metal scouring pads—they can damage the coating and create a shock risk.
