Air fryer drawers…be honest?

[ItsVeryHyacinthBucket]

How often do you clean yours out?

Every time I use it! I'm a bit of a grub by MN standards, but I can't believe that anyone wouldn't clean it each time.

Pretty much every time it’s used.

most evenings, I might have used it to make toast early on in the day, and then probably roast veg for evening meal. I pop the bottom tray into the dishwasher and wash the basket. Takes 2 mins.

today I've only used it for toast so no need to wash ....

Most times irs used - if there any day or oil.

I like to leave it until the fat has congealed and then peel it out.

Eh? Every time we use it. I can’t imagine not doing that, it would be gross.

Every time, and I put the removable rack thing in the dishwasher each time.

I'm not a stickler for cleaning things generally but I can't see why you wouldn't clean the air fryer? Would smell and taste like lots of old food otherwise.

After every use if I've not used a liner. If I use a liner I don't bother

I use foil in mine as a liner so lines the bottom and sides too, then just wrap the foil up into a ball and throw it away afterwards

I am normally fair and square in skank territory on ‘how often do you … ?’ posts, but I wouldn’t dream of not cleaning the drawers after use!

Every time I use it, otherwise the next thing you cook gets the remnants/smells/grease from the last thing you’ve cooked on it.

We have the silicone baskets and use grease proof paper. But DH forgets 🙄 they are smelly and a pain to clean just like the George Foreman grills which were all the rage years ago.

But I don’t put food directly on the floor of the oven the way I do the air fryer-I see the drawers as like pots and pans so wash after every use.

Is be less worried about hygiene because high temperatures are generally involved, and more worried about a fire risk

Are they supposed to bring convenience? They’re no easier to use than an oven. We use it as it’s cheaper than heating the whole oven for small things, not because it’s any more convenient.

Every time. They are so easy to wash and nothing sticks to them either

Clean it every time it's used

Every time.

I use liners, but very rarely oil. In fact, I think the only thing I’ve used oil with are home made chips.

I use baking liners but still wash them out everytime I use them !
it keeps it nice and fresh otherwise be stinky x

Every time we use it. Also use liners to keep things clean, so washing the actual tray takes seconds.

Disposable liners from amazon, make sure you buy the right size and shape. I have a ninja and the big ones are about £7 for 50. Game changing for sure

I find it way more convenient. Easier to use and clean and loads quicker too.

Whole drawer goes in the dishwasher after each use.

Every other time. I only use it for chips, chicken nuggets. It stinks if I cook fish fingers in it so wash straight after.

Every time it's used. I just bung them in the dishwasher.

After every use. It's not difficult.
