How to Clean an Air Fryer and Get Rid of Grease


Air fryers do require a thorough washing every now and then, just like any kitchen appliance and that might prompt you to wonder, "how do you clean an air fryer?"

What is the easiest way to clean an air fryer?

There are tons of different air fryers on the market. (Although, none as beautiful or well-designed as Ree's, of course!) So it's best to always check the owner's manual for specific directions about your model. Generally speaking though, the easiest way to clean an air fryer is to do a light cleaning at least every other time you use it. "If you make something especially messy like something with sauce or marinade, clean it the same day or you may end up with a stuck-on mess," says Chelsea Mae Plummer, a recipe developer at Mae's Menu. "The longer something sticky sits in the air fryer, the harder it is to clean off."

Not only will cleaning your air fryer frequently make the job easier, it will prevent the built-up of bits of food that could cause odors, malfunctions or even—worst case scenario—a fire. Here's the easiest way to give your air fryer a light cleaning:

  • After using your fryer, let it cool down and unplug it.
  • Pull out the basket, pan, or tray and wash it in your sink with warm water and dish soap. Set it aside to dry overnight.
  • Wipe down the interior of the fryer, including the heating element, with a damp, soapy cloth, sponge or paper towel. Wipe it again with a clean damp, cloth, and then a dry cloth.
  • Wipe the exterior of the fryer with a soft cloth.
  • When the fryer's removable parts are dry, place them in the fryer.
