"Take a little ramekin and put some vinegar or lemon juice in there. And then, air fry it with water for about two minutes. Just leave the air fryer closed for about half an hour, and it'll absorb the smells, especially when they're new."
"Lemons contain a lot of citric acid, acting as natural deodorizers against alkaline odors like fish, eggs, and fermented foods. Vinegar, high in acetic acid, also helps neutralize odors and break down bacteria."
"Lemon and vinegar don't work on every type of odor and nothing can replace a proper cleaning schedule. Wiping the air fryer basket after each use is crucial, especially with sticky sauces."
Air fryers can leave behind unpleasant odors, especially when cooking strong-smelling foods. To neutralize these smells, lemon juice or vinegar can be used. Placing a ramekin with these substances in the air fryer and running it with water for two minutes helps absorb odors. Lemons and vinegar contain acids that break down bacteria and neutralize alkaline odors. Regular cleaning, including wiping the basket and deep cleaning with soap and water, is necessary to maintain the air fryer's condition and prevent lingering smells.
