I think if a woman engineer worked on the Cosori Air Fryer, she would have had a clip on the heating element so it could be unclipped to fold down and then…..easy peasy to clean! 🤔 Once done, fold it back up and clip!
The clip could fall and cause an accident
@@royvirafayet6687 My indesit oven has a heating element on the grill that you unclip and it swings down so you can get underneath it to clean.
Any engineer who actually cleans at home would be good. I get frustrated on every kitchen product that is not easy to clean.
Great tips, thanks. As someone who uses their air fryer daily to make all kinds of things, I realized I need to really be caring for it more in regards to cleaning.
I used mine for about three months. I generally do not grease or oil food, even if the recipe says to. Always washed after each time, wiped what I could see inside it. However when it started smoking a lot, it became obvious it needed a good clean. Most of the oil and fat buildup was in places that could not be seen. My husband is an engineer so taking it all apart was easy for him...the gunk inside it was awful. Cleaning like what was demonstrated here would have gotten even near that because you couldnt see it. There needs to be some major re-designing here to make cleaning easy and the use of the machine itself safer to prevent fires.
Totally agree with you - thought by the original designers about keeping these units clean would have been wonderful..... maybe they are lazy slobs who do not clean at home - or maybe the design/manufacturing cost was nixxed by Phillips...
I had the same problem with cosori blaze tonight. After using 7 times only.
White smoke puthering out the drawer.
Time to clean but wasn’t dirty on external areas when checked.
Do I need to unscrew it to clean it?
I really feel the manufacturers should make airfryers with self-cleaning function 😂 Or at least make it easier to do a deep cleaning. To clean the heating component is a real pain. Thanks for sharing!
I totally agree! Although I am now sold on taking just a minute or less to wipe it down after cooking!
Instablaster.
I clean mine every time I use it.
Problem with self cleaning is it requires so much heat that the non stick coating would burn off, only way it would work is if they used stainless steel instead of non stick but that would be even more difficult to clean even with self cleaning
Totally agree! It’s just like a uncleanable rang hood.
Thank you very much for showing us this. It makes it much easier for us to follow the instructions and clean it properly. Your efforts are much appreciated. Have a great week.
You're so welcome! Thx for always being kind and supportive! ❤️
Great tip is to cut lemons in hot water and a drop of washing-up liquid, heat in air fryer for 10 mins to soften up the grease making it easier to clean before this cleaning processes...PLEASE DO NOT OVER FILL WITH WATER WHICH CAN OVERFLOW and mess up your air fryer!!!!
You have the best air fryer videos. I love my Cosori and your channel has been a lifesaver. Please keep them coming.
Thank you so much!
I just decided to buy a Cosori, ever since they came out I've had mine Power XL and never did like the shape of the basket, but since I been watching your videos I liked the one you have, keep on making those videos. Oh btw did you see tge newest Cosori it has Wifi, incredible the advances, thank you!
GREAT tutorial! Super thank you for this! I’m definitely going to deep clean mine, was just doing the basket and drawer. This is TOTALLY do-able!
Glad it was helpful! And you are right... this is doable! :)
@@empoweredcooks Doesn't all of the oil ingredients etc get all over inside of the appliance itself? How do you clean it with the burner element and electrical etc?
I just got the Gowise 1700 and my goodness I’m loving it! I do not smell a “new smell” thankfully, but it’s a bit bigger than I expected, and I’m subscribed to ur channel for cooking ideas and I enjoy ur cleaning tip too! Very nice 👍🏻
Yay! Welcome to the party! ❤️
@@empoweredcooks , I have a new Gourmia GTF7460 air fryer and I cannot seem to get the hard to reach areas that are on the heating elements themselves clean and I also naturally do not want to get them ruined, or myself injured, or worse. How do I get them cleaned? Thank you.
Thanks for this video ! It will be really helpfull when comes the times to clean my Air Fryer. Yeah after watching a couple of your Air Fryer video I got the Cosori 3.7 Qt Air Fryer. It arrive last Thursday. Can't wait to try it.
Yay! Congrats on the Cosori!
So happy I watch this before I bought the air fryer! Yeah you don’t hear this disclosed very often but it certainly is an important element of air fryer operations, good job Kathy
Glad it was helpful!
Really sound advice. I'm sure there are a number of cleaning products that could be used according to the amount of grime but your methods are very helpful. Thanks for sharing.
Yep, probably so!
Thank you. I'm going to try your ideas on my PowerXL air fryer oven tomorrow. It's easy to clean but I don't ever think to turn it over and do the heating element parts. Can't wait to see what a year of use looks like. LOL. You are a a very good helper. Thanks again. :)
Ah! Have fun with that! It will feel good to have it all clean. :)
I have the same one and didn’t realize all the gunk collecting up there until yesterday. It was painful, I literally had to scrape it off
GREAT VIDEO! Thank you! Although, my Cosori air fryer is only a month old, I was wondering how I was going to clean the top element. Good to know that I can turn it upside down (I was afraid to do that). Thank you, once again, for your awesome detailed video. Again, I don’t know how I survived without you. 😊
Thank you so much! I owned my Phillips for over 2 years and never deep cleaned it! The owners manual doesn't talk about cleaning the heating element. I just finished cleaning it the way you showed. Excellent tutorial!
It's really hard to deep clean.
ua-cam.com/video/6SfjV4VjDrQ/v-deo.html
@Radiant Siren The Philips Company has been around probably for over one hundred years. Their stuffs are top quality. They know about air fryer after all, they are the one who invented it. LOL
@@maisawesome7005 Unfortunately it is still a bear to clean above where the heating element is, and where it creates the smoke if you do not do it....... I trusted the Phillips Quality too - never again....Aggh
Thank you for this video Cathy!! My air fryer is waaaay overdue for a deep clean. I will have to look into the Cosori brand too!! Thanks again.
You are so welcome!
7:50 - I can see that the Phillips element is held down with movable rods, similar to those inside a standard upright oven. This means that the rods can be undone and the element can be lifted slightly, if not completely, to make cleaning easier. 👍👍
Y
I got the first generation of Philips airfryer. The coil and rod can't be undone. It's so frustrating
I just wanted to say that xD
I just did that, now my airfryer is causing short circuit. I hope it will be ok after drying throughly and that I didn't destroy a connection from the element.
@@lienbijs1205 What was your outcome?
Kathy..love your videos very thorough your delightful easy going comment's are a perfect recipe 👌
Thank you Brant!
great video! we just looked at our burner area on our cosori, saw the mess and found your video. Tomorrows project! thank you!
I absolutely love watching your channel. Even if I dont have a question about my air fryer! 😁😄
😊 thank you
Thanks, Great tips. Yes you do have to check inside before pre heating . I left a pair of oven gloves inside while pre heating my Cosori, The kitchen was smokey but both oven and gloves survived.
Thank you a million times ! I feel much better after applying your cleaning method ! Brillant !
Yay! Glad to hear it was helpful!
I just discovered your You Tube channel, and I have subscribed! I've had my air fryer for about a year now. I use it, but not a lot. After watching several of your videos, I will be using it more. And now I will need to do the deep cleaning, too. Thanks for such great tips and ideas. I'm looking forward to seeing more!
Thanks for subbing!
So far the best air fryer cleaning video I've seen thank you for your time Simon
Wow, thanks Simon!
Brilliant, one of those video's that I had no idea that I needed 😂 I'm off to give my Phillips a deep clean now! Thank you 👏👏👏
Good luck!!
Thank you for your videos they are very helpful.
The deep cleaning behind the coil is basically impossible in the Phillips model. Sad as that is the one we shelled out for ! Some good ideas in the comments below though. I have no idea why everyone seems to struggle with the baskets and drawers - they are so easy ! Nothing like a sink of super very hot water with Extreme Dawn and a good soak. Just clean them every time !
I always take off all the fat first with paper towel as we are on acreage with a septic tank. Fat is a killer for septic systems !
I really appreciate the suggestion of wiping down the element each time - that should help a little. I also just thought that maybe using bamboo sticks between the elements to push a cleaning cloth under the Phillips coil might really help too.....
Grr, yes the philips... hefty investment indeed! :) Glad you found it helpful, Lavinia!
I just found your channel while looking up air fryer videos and YAY your videos are so helpful. Thanks for taking the time to put them together!
Enjoyed your video, i always cleaned my air fryer but then when i saw the top after 1yr i was wow, had to check your video how to tackle the grease build up. Thanks👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
I LOVE your videos! Very helpful and fun to watch. You have a great personality that makes your videos a joy to watch! One hint I learned on a different youtube video was how to make the ANNOYING Beep a lower volume. I know it goes against the rules, but a guy on the youtube showed how to carefully remove the top (on the Cosori) and simply put some modeling clay over the speaker. I tried it and it really helped. It still beeps, but not as loud. To find it, I just searched "air fryer beep elimination" on youtube. My poor dog was getting traumatized over all that beeping. Hopefully the company will make it easier to lower the volume of the beep in future models. I bought my Cosori because of you - it is GREAT!
Hi Alicia, thank you! YES - I had someone share that with me recently! I think I've gotten used to the beep lol - I haven't dared go that deep into my air fryer either. :) Glad to hear it worked for you!
The heating element is usually easy to move because they're mounted with 1 or 2 Phillips head screws. You just need to move it out enough to get underneath.
I've had my Phillips XXL for 3 years and I have never deep cleaned it. However, I'll use your tips and give it a go.
You got this!
TIP: If you want to know if your air fryer is clean or dirt cook hard boiled eggs in the air fryer. 250 for 20 min. If the eggs come back speckled with brown stuff you didn't clean your air fryer good enough. Dunk those eggs in cold water and clean it agian then enjoy your eggs. I use vinegar to clean my deep fryer and it works well and I don't have to worry about any chemically after tastes. Fun fact: Restaurants use vinegar for cleaning ti's safe.
Great tip!
That is way too excessive for me. If it looks reasonably clean, then that is good enough for me lol.
Edit: Odd, found a different comment:
Joe Giunta 9 months ago
"I find cleaning as you go makes life a lot easier. I was , however surprised when I was doing hard cooked eggs in the air fryer. When the eggs were done, they were speckled with grease.I thought that is strange. When it cooled, I turned it over to find that my heating coil and surround were greasy. I won't let that happen again. It only takes a minute after everything has cooled to give it a quick rub down with a paper towel".
Both 9 months ago. Did you steal that shit? lol
I clean everything with vinegar - no yucky toxic cleaning products for me - they literally make me ill :(
can i use dish soap? i don’t wanna use anything too harsh
@@biancadesousa yes you can :-)
I clean mine after every use ❤️ I purchased the Cosori because your videos and I loveeeee my air fryer
That is awesome!
Great video Cathy! Absolutely is easiest to keep it clean in the first place 💜
Yes TRUTH!
Hi! A great way to clean the rns and reach other tricky areas is to but a 1” inexpensive bristle paint brush! Make sure it’s not abrasive, but wow! It gets into those nooks and crannies wonderfully! Every one should have a “ cleaning” paintbrush in their kitchen! Great tool!
Great idea!! Thanks for sharing :)
Great Idea Thanks Would not have thought Of That Gwendolyn
Great video Cathy! All good info and the tip about cleaning the cooled-down heating element was a new one for me. Thanks!

Got my airfryer yesterday. Now i also clean the the burner coil every time I use my airfryer. Thank you for the tip.

I'm a new air fryer owner & am enjoying all your tips! This is one I will do today!
Oh yay!! Let me know how it goes for you, and if you have any questions.
Great video! Not wanting the grease catches on fire one day I just deep cleaned my air fryer for the first time in 6 months. The homemade cleaner works great thanks.
Awesome, thanks for sharing this! Glad it worked for you!
Very thorough! ....most definitely will continue to give that a go! x
Have fun! 😆
The homemade cleaner worked perfectly! Thank you!
I'm obsessed with your channel!!! So many handy tips and great recipes!!!
Glad to have you here!
I'm new to your great videos! Two tips for cleaning--I don't own an air fryer yet-- 1. Use a brush for glassware on the teflon slotted areas instead of a q-tip. You should find it does a great job in hot soapy water. 2. UNPLUG the unit. The heating element SHOULD be removable. Check ur manual or call customer service for instructions. Remove screws and lift the element out. It should be snugly plugged into its socket. Now you should have easy access to the dirty area under the element. Completely dry everything before reassembling. Remember that HEAT is a great method for loosening stuck on food. Be careful not to over heat and keep hands safe with gloves or use utensils on hot surfaces. Do NOT use plastic brush on very hot surface as it will likely melt and leave melted plastic on the surface you were trying to clean! :-) Good luck. I'll be checking out your channel soon. Thank you for all your effort and winning personality. Not to mention the PROFESSIONAL EDITING you are doing. It really keeps us from getting bored with otherwise time-consuming tasks. Great job!!
Anyone who read your comment and tried to remove the heating element will find that their Cosori airfrier will no longer be usable. The right screw has an attachment which is not accessible when detached. This means after you take the screw off it won't be able to put back in unless you take the whole thing apart, which is what I'm desperately trying to do atm.
@@UberYunSpicyEggroll Wow ty for this! I hope you were able to finally fix it omg
What kind of idiot would give this a thumbs down? Super helpful. You've inspired me to give my air fryer a deep clean - thank you!
Yay! You are welcome! Have fun!🤞
Great video! I am in Canada, bought the Dawn Powerwash and didn’t really find it to be the miracle everyone talks about except it was very stinky and expensive! I will try the other combo you suggested as it seems better and has a bit of abrasive nature to it which makes sense to me (I used baking soda and water paste to clean my glass top stove). Keep the videos coming!
I agree, I didn't care for the smell of it either!
It’s great for removing stains from fabric and bathroom cleaning
You should only use the original blue Dawn for cleaning things other than didhes.
Saw a video on it awhile back
I pressure wash and use Blue Dawn Great Degreaser. Forget the dawn power wash. By the way. Bartenders Friend is fantastic on glass tops and many other things you wouldn’t believe. Trust me, I make things clean for a living and these things really work. Purple power is also good too, I like it so much I just bought a 5 gallon jug off Amazon. Lol.
I have a professional popcorn popper at the house (Gold metal) and what I found is good for cleaning the kettle is something called cream of tartar (a powder) sold in stores it's also used in some cooking recipes. mix with water make a paste out of it put it on for 10 minutes then wipe off and it cuts grease really good.
It's also good for getting that brown burned on stuff off the bottom of pans.When the kettle gets the a big layer of gunk gets built up on the bottom inside of it nothing else comes close to the effectiveness of it.
I have the Phillips Power XL and I love it. I will be purchasing the Corsori as I need to cook multiple dishes at the same time.
I feel that!
I love my Corsori ! Thank you this was helpful.
You're welcome!
As per the suggestions you offered in this video, after almost 2 years, I deep cleaned my Cook's Companion Air Fryer. I always cleaned the exterior as well as the basket and insert. I admit to not cleaning between uses but I tried in vane to minimize clean up by using foil lining or a plate or both, but I still managed to leave crumbs and baked on food. Like you I used Dawn and let it sit for almost 30 minutes. I used a damp micro fiber cloth to wipe off, then graduated to a small bottle brush, then a toothbrush, then, like you, steel wool. The latter did the trick and though it cleaned up pretty well, it's impossible to thoroughly get in between each fan blade under the heating element. As an added challenge, my air fryer is slanted on the top, so I had to get creative in how to prop it up for cleaning which was achieved on the stove between burner grates. Nutshell, this air fryer is not easy to clean but I'm not one to shy away from elbow grease. You inspired to be more on top of cleaning my air fryer, which I use almost everyday. Thanks for your video.
Way to be brave and get it done! And the fact that you took the time to share your experience means you get an A+!!! Way to go! 😁
@@empoweredcooks Thank you. Since we've all been isolating I've been diving deep into effective home making and I'm always open to cleaning and organizing ideas, not to mention cooking. I'm going to check out your other videos as well.
@@empoweredcooks Question, I've always after cleaning the basket and insert, I would put them back inside the air fryer wet and turn it on high for 5 minutes or so to dry it, do you think that's ok?
Way to find some good use of the circumstances! ❤️
Thanks. I've been trying to get mine clean without chemicals. Now I feel happy using some
Glad I could help!
Lol 😂 I thot I was the weird one saving old tooth brushes to clean around the basin or sinks or oven cleaning . It’s like how exactly I clean my oven. Using my soda bicarb and lemon/vinegar.going to invest in one air fryer soon. So will save this tips. Thanks 😊
Yay for old toothbrushes!
Pay attention to how easy it is to clean the heating element in the Phillips NOT ! There are many unhappy customers out there of the Phillips design who battle with cleaning this area. Of course all the air fryers build up in areas that you cannot get too but the Cosori certainly looks much better for that. I know to my cost. We clean every time and still have smoke problems. Also most of our food is sort of non-fat so goodness knows how it would be if we used lots of fat laden food. GOOD LUCK !
Two important points you missed (or maybe I missed them?)--
1. Put a towel down on the counter before you turn your AF over onto its top. You don't want to scratch up the touch screen surface.
2. When scrubbing the cooking element and its surroundings, don't use so much liquid or spray, that it will run into the top of the AF while you are cleaning it. Getting the soap and/or water into the electronic part of the machine could mess up the controls. If you aren't sure if you got water or soap into the electronic part of the machine, leave the bucket out of it overnight....this will give it more ventilation to dry out.
Thank you for your videos!!! I love them!
(I just got an air fryer oven, and I LOOOOOOVE it!....do you plan to add this machine to your repertoire?)
Thank you for sharing this information. I am new to air frying and had no clue about cleaning the element above. So I will add that to my to do this.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video. I am new to your site and find them so informative and useful. Love your recipes too. 🙏😀
Welcome!
I've just discovered your videos and they are amazing!!! And it works to practise my English as wwll. Thank you so much!!!
Definitely good advice to wait to use it again until the next day I just turned mine on and ran it at 360 right after cleaning it and the dawn power wash smoked so bad hopefully when i try it again tomorrow theres less smoke lol btw i recommend some nitrile dishwashing gloves to wear while scrubbing the inside makes it a lot easier
Thank you! Ingot an air fryer lasted week and now I use it for every meal.
When you rinse/lightly clean the basket do you preheat it to dry it?
Yes, sometimes I do!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH THIS IS THE BEST EVERY VIDEO ON CLEANING A AIR FRYER I HAVE FOUND THANK YOU VERY MUCH
Thanks for the video Cathy. Great info.
Very helpful video! Thank you so much for sharing.
You are so welcome! Thx for watching!
Thank you! This is so helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome job cleaning that Cosori!!!
Woo hoo! Thank you!
Thanks so much. I typically wipe out the inside after each use, including a quick wipe over the element...but that is just reaching up inside, not flipping it. So, thank you. I will try this. I use the little microfibre cloths that come in a box of 75 from Costco....and am still using the original 10 I pulled out because we just soak them overnight in some oxyclean. That was almost a year ago. And I bought 3 boxes. 🤦♀️ lol we will never run out.
OK I'm totally going to see if my Costco has these!
I can’t thank you enough for showing me how to clean my air fryer - it is sparkling clean now - thanks
Amazing! Happy to help!
Thank you so much! You have been so helpful. May god bless you! 🌷🌸🌺 I enjoy watching your video! 😊
You are so welcome!
Good video about cleaning an air fryer. I didn't know about the Dawn power spray will have to get that.
Thanks again.
You bet, Larry!
I have one of the original versions of the Phillips Air Fryers and find that cleaning it every time I use it to be painful. While the basket and housing is relatively easy, I would prefer to be able to completely remove the heating element (like we used to be able to do with stoves) to do a proper deep clean of the interior of the unit.
Agreed!
Awesome tutorial! Thank you so much!!!
Oh, LAWD..am I in for nasty weather cuz I just pulled my Philips XXL outta the box. Thanks to YOU and this vid, I will be sure to deep clean that bugger regularly. !!!!! THANK YOU !!!!!
Oh my gosh. So useful. Thank. You so much!! Sherry
You are so welcome!
I’ve been trying to get my hubby to understand how to lightly wipe the microwave after every use but he “doesn’t see the dirt” 🤦🏼♀️ probably not gonna work with the air fryer either!
But I told him our air fryer stinks and sent him this video!

As a new Air Fryer owner, I’m very grateful for your tutorial on deep cleaning. I just cleaned my regular oven. So tomorrow I’ll deep clean my Air Fryer. I always wash out the basket, was not sure about how to clean around the element
I clean my basket after every use but was wondering about under where the element is, so thank you for this video. And I have been using Dawn for a long time as a stain remover on clothes, laundry room has its own bottle. Love your channel and have used some of your recipes already.
Glad it was helpful! And thank you for being here!
Just don't use Dawn on your car.
It will ruin the paint
My hubby thinks I'm nuts because I always turn my air fryer upside down and clean it out after every use. (Once it's cool of course). I just don't want the smell in my next batch of food. Thanks for all of your tips and recipes! I just found ya today.
That's dedication! Glad you're here!
Thanks for a helpful video.Kathy you have gave me alot of tips.What foods do you cook with parchment paper in airfryer?Happy Mother's Day
Hi Gloria! How you had a nice one! :) I usually use parchment paper for messier foods (most often ones that involve cheese) just to help with clean up. I also like using it to help me pull different foods out of the air fryer (like I did with these cinnamon rolls and this s'mores dip: ua-cam.com/video/pf0UujmqBNM/v-deo.html)
@@empoweredcooks
Thank you
Wow Cathy this is a very important video, thank you so much.
You are so welcome ❤
For tough grease stains, the best thing to use is Fantastik. The active ingredient works really well to break down and remove oil.
I have a power xl cleaner and it’s pretty much the same set up inside. My fan started getting a bit stuck so what I did was removed a couple of the screws without jeopardizing the unit but just enough to get my toothbrush in there and clean it out. Once I was done I was able to just easily rescrew it in and cleaned up the rest. Works like new!
Oh that is great to know! Thank you!
I used the stainless steel wipes and just kept on rubbing and it came off easy :)
Oh wow, I didn't even know this was a thing!
Very helpful info thanks alot!
You bet!
Is there a fry mesh to put on top of the food, like used on fry pans to eliminate spladder on to stove top and backsplash?
My Calmdo Air Fryer has a filter that sits below the heating element, this reduces the amount of goo that collects in that area which is the most difficult to clean.
Thanks for all your tips, at some point there will be an air fryer cleaning spray, until then good old elbow grease will have to do.
More useful video's please Cath.
That's a nice feature! It will be interesting to watch technology develop in this air fryer space!
I found this video extremely useful and informative ❤️! Thank you so much for making them Fabulessly Frugal!
Love your videos and presentation style.
Teaching me some great tips,I usually just wipe when cool down,deep cleaning is super big smile 😊😊😊 Kathy 😍
Glad it was helpful, Arlene!
My new Airfryer arrived today and the first thing I did was searched how to clean it. Thanks for the tips!
I also bought an EXTRA set of inside parts-- tub and shelf-- and use a fresh one each time while the other is soaking in water/dawn.. and it's VERY easy...
Thank goodness I found this channel. We purchased a Cosori 5.8 qt but with analog controls bc my boyfriend is visually challenged and the touchscreen digital types are impossible for him. I wanted him to able able to heat something up w/o me around. Would I be able to cook a 4 lb chicken in it?
Glad I can help! Yes, you can! I made a whole chicken in this video: ua-cam.com/video/DSyKs0oQPPM/v-deo.html
Fun vids thanks! I love my Cosori but all the basket screws continually come loose. Not such a big deal until one heads into the disposal or the depths of the dishwasher. I complained and Cosori sent me an entire lower basket assembly...those screws come loose as well...My cleaning routine starts with a Phillips head screwdriver.
They do have such great customer service! Interestingly, I haven't had to tighten mine for the last several months!
Ladies, I think a thin hair colouring brush will also do the trick of getting into the hard to reach nooks. These brushes are very useful for a number of cleaning chores. So, good to have a few in the kitchen and a few in the bathroom.
brilliant idea squange 20
Great videos. I haven't used mine yet but your videos inspire me to try. I'm wondering if I can use cotton towels to wipe out the left-overs instead of paper towels [I don't use them]?
That should work fine :)
Absolutely love your UA-cam channel
Thank you!
Super helpful. Thanks!
WOW,, such a good and helpful video.... Thank you
You are so welcome!
Only had my Cosori about 4 months but it still looks great. Immediately after use, while the basket is still hot, I will separate the basket and pan and (paper) towel up any large quantites of grease. Then I spritz them both down with Lysol spray cleaner (never Clorox or anything containing abrasive particles) and let them soak while dining.
When you come back start with another quick light/surface spritz, turn your sink on as HOT as it will go, get a wetted long straight-bristle dish brush and give them a vigorous scrubbing. Rinse thoroughly and once it looks clean THEN I repeat the process with some Dawn (regular Dawn in a spray bottle, wastes less) and a big floppy wide bottle brush, getting deep into the vents in the basket. I clean the handle and front of the pan with a clean dishtowel using the Lysol spray and give the chamber a deep wipe down with the same cloth (with a little more Lysol spray). Pay attention to the slotted openings around the chamber opening because you can see where the steam goes. While I do this I will usually get the flat top of the chamber AROUND the coil BUT not the recess under the coil. I'll save that for a semi-annual deep scrub.
I don't have to do much with the exterior during these cleans because being OCD I'm always wiping down the kitchen anyway. LOLOLOLOLOL
Wow! Very nice and thorough! Your Cosori is lucky to have you😆
@@empoweredcooks LOL It's the OCD. The one time a mental infirmity is helpful!
@Jon Miguel 😆👏
If you look carefully at 7:45, you can see that the thin rods holding the heating element in place are bayonet style. Unclip the top one then I'm sure that you can pivot and lift the element out the way for cleaning.
I don't have one, so I can't verify this...
I thought so too
Thanks for the detailed video. I don't understand why manufacturers don't make all appliances easy to clean. It seems like that would be a no-brainer these days.
I've always thought it was because people who design machines are usually not the people who have to clean them. Apart from when they are specially designed eg by a chef or whatever and then they're super expensive.
I think they make it impossible so you throw it away and buy new
@@RealGoneDame I bet you're right. It's such a shame...
@@RealGoneDame Interesting idea - I am going to throw away a $400 Phillips Airfryer ??? No indeed, I soldier on, but I make sure I always comment on blogs about what a shitty appliance it is to clean !!!! Especially for the cost... Stupid company.
