I was washing my air fryer basket with soap after every single use for 8 months
A guy at the hardware store in Reno asked me why my nonstick coating was flaking off after less than a year, and when I said I scrubbed it with a sponge and dish soap every time he just stared at me. Turns out you are only supposed to wipe it with a damp cloth and mild soap maybe once a week. I was basically sanding off the coating myself for 8 months straight. So how often do you all actually deep clean yours?
