    I find cleaning the air fryer to be a pain. It’s got the rack at the bottom that I have to scrum, and then the catch pan. If I cook a chicken in my cast iron pan in the oven, I have one flat surface to clean, as opposed to 1 flat surface and one complicated surface. What am I missing?

        The bin itself isn’t much of a problem. It’s the rack that holds the food up so the air can circulate underneath that’s the real removed to clean.

      Laziness.

      I clean it infrequently. Pretty much when grease from previous foods starts impacting the flavor in a negative way.

      I just heat it up and pour out the grease. Then scrub it, cleans up easily when everything is hot.

      I should add, small air fryers suck. You need a good sized one for it to be worth using.
