Air fryers have become one of the most popular kitchen gadgets in Kenya for healthy, oil free cooking. Learn how to clean heating elements, restore non stick basket coatings, and maintain your pre owned air fryer for optimal performance.
Inspecting the Non Stick Basket Coating
When buying a used air fryer, inspect the non stick drawer and crisper tray. Avoid baskets with deep peeling or flaking Teflon. Smooth, intact surfaces ensure healthy cooking and effortless cleaning.
Cleaning the Upper Heating Coil
Unplug the unit and turn it upside down once cooled. Use a soft sponge dampened with warm soapy water to wipe grease off the heating coil and fan blades. This prevents food smoke and unpleasant smells during cooking.
Testing Digital Touchscreens and Temperature Dials
Run the air fryer for three minutes at 200 degrees Celsius. The fan should blow hot air quietly without rattling. The digital timer should count down accurately and beep upon completion.
Extending Air Fryer Longevity
Always use silicone tongs and parchment paper liners. Never use steel wool or abrasive metal scourers inside the basket.
