The basket occasionally went in the dishwasher which cleaned the surface, but the well gunked grease has been building up.

Tried soaking the basket in soap and hot water. Scrubbing with a soft sponge. And then running the dishwasher multiple times but it only got a small part of the grease out.

I clean mine by soaking in hot water and scrubbing with a nylon bristle dishwashing brush. I don’t have a dishwasher. This is working great, but the key is I’m doing it after every 2nd or 3rd time I use the air fryer.

It’s a new one, we had to throw our old one out because we didn’t wash it well enough and it gunked up so badly it was almost unusable and started smoking whenever you turned it on.

I did get the gunk off with thorough scrubbing but it damaged the shit out of the non stick coating, we weren’t gonna risk using it like that.

Taking real good care of the new one.
