Cut a lemon in half and dip the cut side in salt.
Use the lemon to scrub the greasy surfaces inside the fryer.
The acid in lemon and abrasiveness of salt help break down grease.
Rinse with warm water and wipe dry.
Dish Soap and Hot Water Soak
Fill the fryer basin (if removable) with hot water and add a few drops of strong dish soap.
Let soak for 30 minutes to loosen grease.
Use a sponge or brush to clean, then rinse thoroughly.
Steam Cleaning with Vinegar
Pour 1 cup of vinegar and 1 cup of water into the fryer basin.
Turn the fryer on to steam for 5–10 minutes (check your fryer’s safety instructions first!).
The steam loosens grease buildup inside.
Unplug, let cool, and wipe clean.
Commercial Degreaser
Use a food-safe commercial degreaser spray specifically made for kitchen appliances.
Follow the instructions on the label for application and rinsing.
Always rinse thoroughly to remove chemical residues.
Use Dryer Sheets for Grease Removal
After soaking the fryer in hot water and soap, rub dryer sheets on greasy spots.
The sheets help lift grease and oil residues effectively.
Rinse and dry.
