Airfrier Cleaning Hints

last month

I was talking on the phone to #2 GS today, and he texted me a photo of the most beautiful pork tendloin I have ever seen. As he sat there and ate it in front of me, he said it was delicious. I wanted to grab a piece of that beautiful meat right off the photo. Unfortunately he is on Long Island and I am in California. (sigh)

He said he made it in the airfrier. (I don't know the brand.) It did a beautiful job with this pork tenderloin from Target... pre-marinaded in Lemon and herbs. He said the airfrier makes good food but is difficult to clean.

So, are there any hints for helping to clean faster/better/less work?

Are there any airfriers that are better and easier to clean than some? (I've been thinking about getting one.)

I've consigned mine to the garage as I found the ceiling so hard to get clean. Mine's like Plllog's. It works well, just too much hard work. And, they're HUGE!

I have an oven-style one with a drop down door. It's actually been pretty easy, so far, to clean and the interior surfaces have some kind of coating. There's a removeable bottom that comes out for cleaning like the crumb tray in a toaster. That said, I 've only used it for vegetables. I think the ones where you push a basket into a large housing sort of litke the grounds on a drip coffee pot look harder to clean, but I could be wrong.

Air frier is just a high speed convection oven. My oven will do most of the same thing, but it's a superior oven. I got the airfryer oven on a super discount prime day thing, and because it dehydrates (oven has the setting but is really bad at dehydrating). In your position, I'd try to replicate the recipe best as I could with the equipment you have. it could well be sufficient.

They make liners for them. They are kind of like parchment paper. Maybe that would help.

hint of the day feb 28 salt (long)
Q

My grandmother used salt in another way. She was the dutiful wife of a sweet minister who, without consulting her, purchased and planted many various fruit trees in their back yard. Two were in the way of the wash line, or maybe the story was they were berry trees and the birds would stain the wash. Anyhow, she wanted them gone but did not have the heart to point out to her sweet husband the bad planning. So every time she went into the back yard, she put several handfuls of salt into her apron pocket and liberally sprinkeled the root zone of these two trees with salt. Before long, they died of some unexplainable blight, and grandma had her wash line to her liking.

I never believe this kind of stuff, nothing is that easy. I had ants one day and wiped off the counter where they came in with a bounce sheet and guess what, no ants. They came in the patio door, wiped there and you guessed it no more ants anywhere. I was dumbfounded. BUT 2 weeks later I read in the paper: to stop ants from coming in all you have to do is wash the scent trail away. Yup, a wet rag would have done the same as they bounce. Back to being a non believer. I do use soda for musty doll clothes, put soda and the clothes in a paper bag, shake and leave closed for a couple of weeks, that really really works. I don't keep musty books in my home anywhere. I hate that smell and the smell spreads all through the house.

Two Hints for copying things from here

Since it's tip day, here's a couple of mine: I just zoom in and out of the page with the ctrl key and the mouse wheel. A quick way to increase or decrease font size is press ctrl shift and the > (to increase) or Another little tip while typing, if you make a typo, it's often quicker to just retype the word rather than backspace through all the letters or use the mouse to highlight. Just press ctrl and backspace and you'll wipe out the prior word. The last tip is another reason I like Opera so much better than anything else. Reading the forums you often scroll right or left. With Opera (and Chrome has an extension for this) you can just hit the "fit to width" button and zoom in as much as you need to increase font size. And a hit on the space bar brings you down a page worth in viewing. So many tips, so little time....

Hint for cleaning stove grates
Q
Comments (11)
My stove is a Maytag double oven (I think it is called 'Gemini'. It is three years old and I use it daily. Yes, the grates are caste iron -- can't imagine what 'painted' means. The dishwasher is useless unless you put them in there daily and who does that? I will tell you that before I found the great ammonia hint, I ordered black grates and with shipping, it was $100. That was worth it to me because the ammonia method takes a over-night process and I now have a second set.

Is that for the ceiling? That's the hardest part to clean, IMO.

I guess it's time for the manufacturers of air fryers to make them "self cleaning"! HAHA!

I stopped at Williams Sonoma just to look. I was surprised at how large even the smallest are. And, they are expensive. I think I'll make do with what I have and skip the AirFrier.

Thanks everyone for your thoughts.

I have read that the Ninja is the easiest to clean and parts are dishwasher safe. I don't have an airfyer but lately have been interested!
