I find cleaning the air fryer to be a pain. It's got the rack at the bottom that I have to scrum, and then the catch pan. If I cook a chicken in my cast iron pan in the oven, I have one flat surface to clean, as opposed to 1 flat surface and one complicated surface. What am I missing?
Yeah the oven you just need to turn on clean cycle, leave the house for a few hours and then shop vac any ashes once it cools down.
My oven doesn't even get dirty when I cook a chicken. I haven't needed to clean mine in the 5 years I've lived in my house and we cook multiple times every week.
But every time we use our air fryer, I need to clean it because it's a mess.
Put tinfoil at the the bottom. Throw tinfoil away if dirty.
The bin itself isn't much of a problem. It's the rack that holds the food up so the air can circulate underneath that's the real bitch to clean.
Laziness.
I clean it infrequently. Pretty much when grease from previous foods starts impacting the flavor in a negative way.
I just heat it up and pour out the grease. Then scrub it, cleans up easily when everything is hot.
I should add, small air fryers suck. You need a good sized one for it to be worth using.
