Tip 1: clean with dish soap
Add a bit of dish soap to hot water. It's best to use dish soap with lemon, because that degreases best and it smells extra fresh. With this soapy water, you can use a soft sponge to clean the inner pan, the basket, the lid, and the exterior of your deep fryer. Are there many caked food rests? Let it soak for a while. Don't use an abrasive sponge to scrub, because there's a bigger risk you'll damage the deep fryer.
Tip 2: clean with a dishwasher tab
It's a lot easier to clean deep fryers that you can disassemble, because you can simply put the parts in the dishwasher with a dishwasher tab. Check the manual beforehand to be sure the parts are dishwasher-safe.
Tip 3: clean with a fryer cleaner
Do you want to easily clean your deep fryer, but don't want any fumes in your home and also don't mind paying a little bit extra for it? Use a fryer cleaner. Fill the inner pan with warm water, add the recommended dose of fryer cleaner and let it soak for about 15 minutes.
