Air fryers are handy kitchen gadgets, but figuring out the best way to clean them<\/a> isn’t always straightforward. They may use less oil, but they still pick up plenty of grease and splatters.<\/a><\/p>\n

Regular cleaning is essential <\/a>to keep them cooking your favourite dishes efficiently. However, if you’re after an easy way to clean your air fryer, one woman has shared her budget-friendly approach<\/p>\n

On the Mrs Hinch Army Cleaning Tips Facebook<\/a> group, Adrianna Griffin revealed that dishwasher tablets are the key to tackling stubborn stains on air fryers.<\/p>\n

These powerful cleaning products are a must-have for anyone seeking quick and hassle-free cleaning solution.<\/a><\/p>\n

Not only do they make washing up a breeze, but they’re also great for freshening up other areas of the home and various appliances, air fryers included, reports the Express<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Adrianna posted a photo of her spotless air fryer basket, writing: “Whoever said using a dishwasher tablet for the air fryer is a lifesaver.<\/p>\n

“The pieces of food stuck to the tray were impossible to remove with just scrubbing.”<\/p>\n

She added: “Just a five-minute soak with boiling hot water, a rinse and wipe and the job was done. The grease had just melted away.<\/p>\n

“I don’t even have a dishwasher, but picked these up very cheap and thought they could be used for some cleaning hacks I’ve seen on this page.”<\/p>\n

The blend of enzymes, alkalis and surfactants found in these tablets is excellent for tackling grease stains, food marks and even unpleasant smells.<\/p>\n

These ingredients are not only brilliant for washing dishes but can also be used to combat grease, food residue and odours in other areas.<\/p>\n

Carolina McCauley, who posts home hacks on TikTok, also recommended the dishwasher tablet method. She said it is the “easiest air fryer cleaning hack”.<\/p>\n

Her followers agreed as one said: “So smart.” Another added: “It looks so easy.”<\/p>\n

Make sure you never place the dishwasher tablet and water directly inside the main appliance of the air fryer, or submerge the electrical base.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Air fryers are a brilliant kitchen gadget, but cleaning them can be tricky.Angela Patrone Senior Lifestyle Reporter and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":656552,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[73],"tags":[126834,79,107516,18,19,17,1658],"class_list":["post-656551","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-air-fryers","tag-business","tag-cleaning-hacks","tag-eire","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-property"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/656551","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=656551"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/656551\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/656552"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=656551"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=656551"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=656551"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
