Life Hack: How to clean an air fryer, and can I put it in the dishwasher?

Whether you're popping it in the dishwasher or washing it in the sink, here are some tips on how to clean your air fryer.

Two readers contacted me recently asking for advice on the best way to clean an air fryer, a small kitchen appliance that we are seeing more of in Irish homes. Air fryers are growing in popularity and many people are using them to cut down on oven use, saving money overall on energy bills. 

An air fryer can bake and roast food (some of the more high-end offerings offer some more cooking techniques) in less time that an average oven would take, using less oil or fat and with a lot less energy. Of course, like all appliances, they can get quite dirty. Fat and residue from food will gather at the end of its basket and it should be cleaned after each use.
