How to clean a deep fryer

Your deep fryer is probably one of your favorite kitchen appliances. It's handy for cooking quickly and without excess oil, possibly using recipes from the Good Housekeeping Air Fryer cookbook . Think crispy fish fingers or chicken wings with no added oil, the perfect Al Dente zucchini noodles and perfectly heated leftovers.

However, deep fryers should be cleaned after each use. Even if you've added little or no oil, leftover food and fat can build up and your air fryer can smell or even start smoking. Whether you're using a basket or tray air fryer, here are some tips from the Good Housekeeping Institute to make cleaning easier:

How to clean your basket style air fryer

What will you need:

• Degreasing detergents such as Good Housekeeping Seal Star Dawn
• Bottle brush with soft bristles like Casabella
• A soft cloth like Skura's reusable microfiber cloths or a paper towel like the Bounty Star from Good Housekeeping Seal

1. Turn off the fryer, unplug it and let it cool down completely. Pull out the drawer and remove the basket or tray.
2. If you vote roasted in the air, go to the Lave -Vaisselle, Placeir Le Tirair and the Panier or Plateau, in whose capacity the vote is roasted in the air, s' agree.
3. If it is not possible to use the dishwasher , wash the removable parts with hot soapy water and use the brush to scrub the dirt and get into the vents, nooks and crannies of the tray while protecting the tray. Metallic or non-stick coating. Rinse well and pat dry.
4. Wipe the bottom of the fryer and the outside with a damp cloth or paper towel. Replace the basket when it is clean.

GH Lab Tip: Use the top rack of the dishwasher (if space allows) where it is furthest away from heat and exposed to softer jets of water. This means that the non-stick finish lasts longer.

How to clean an oven deep fryer

What will you need:

• Degrease detergent
• Bottle brush with soft bristles
• Soft cloth or paper towel

1. Turn off the fryer, unplug it and let it cool down completely.
   
2. Remove the racks and clean them in the dishwasher, or hand wash them in hot soapy water with the dishwasher to remove grease and food particles. Rinse well and pat dry.
3. Empty the oil from the drip tray , but do not throw it into the sink. The tray can be placed upside down in the dishwasher to clean, or it can be hand washed, then rinsed and dried thoroughly.
4. Wipe the bottom of the fryer and the outside with a damp cloth or paper towel. Replace the trays when they are clean.

GH Lab Tip : If there is oil in the drawer or the drip tray below, don't throw it in the sink. Instead, pour it into a box or small glass and keep the container in the refrigerator to throw away when full.

Here's how to thoroughly clean your deep fryer

If you accidentally overloaded your fryer (or cooked something tangier), you may have messed up the heating element. If your fryer smells bad while cooking or smoking, there is likely cooked residue on or near the heating element.

What will you need:

• ½ cup of baking soda
• A couple of tablespoons of water to make a paste.
• Soft cloth or paper towel

1. First, remove and clean the baskets .
2. Let it stand upright so the dirt you are brushing falls to the bottom of the interior space and doesn't get caught on the screen, heating element, or fan on top.
3. Use a clean, dry , soft bristle brush to scrub and remove any burned parts from the mesh covering the heating element and wipe it with a clean damp cloth or paper towel. Then turn the fryer upside down to make cleaning the heating element easier.
4. Use the baking soda paste and a soft, damp cloth and gently rub off the dirt.
5. Rinse the cloth with water, wring it out, and wipe off any residue. Turn the fryer right side up and reinsert the clean basket and / or pans.

GH Lab Tip : Overfilling the fryer will almost certainly ensure that the heating element needs cleaning. To avoid this task, make sure the amount of food you are cooking at one time does not exceed the amount recommended for your model of fryer.
