Household tip: How do you clean your deep fryer?

Cleaning the inside of the deep fryer

There are various methods to clean the inside of the deep fryer. You can start by removing the oil from the deep fryer.

If you use liquid fat, you can pour the frying fat into an empty liquid frying fat container. You can then simply screw the cap on and take the container to the recycling center. To pour the fat neatly into the container, it is best to use a funnel or the cut-off top of a soda bottle, which you then place upside down on the container. However, never pour the oil down your sink; the oil will stick and clog your sink!

If you are using solid frying fat, turn on the deep fryer for (very) short a moment (half a minute is often sufficient). This causes the block of fat to loosen from the pan, allowing you to remove it easily.

Next, wipe the inside of the deep fryer clean using some paper towels or toilet paper. After this, the real cleaning can begin.

Dishwasher tablet
Fill the fryer with water (up to the maximum line, no further!) and add a dishwasher tablet. Leave the basket in place so it is clean immediately. Now turn on the fryer for ten minutes on the lowest setting (up to a maximum of 100 degrees). The water must not boil, so stay close by. The hot vapors can irreparably damage the heating element. After ten minutes, the fryer can be switched off so the water can cool down. Then rinse the fryer thoroughly and repeat if necessary.

Soda
If the deep fryer is still not completely clean, try using baking soda: put in a little water (about 3 or 4 centimeters from the bottom) and a tablespoon of baking soda. Let this boil for a few minutes and stay close by, as it will boil up. Then pour it out and dry it with a piece of paper towel, and you're done!!!

Soaking spray
Dreft has launched a special soaking spray that you can use for these kinds of jobs. It not only cleans the inside of your deep fryer, but you can also use it for burnt-on gas stoves and pans. Let the soaking spray sit for 1 hour. Afterwards, you can easily remove the dirt with a cloth.

Cleaning the outside of the deep fryer

Kitchen paper
If the outside of the fryer gets hot during frying, you can often remove most of the grease with some kitchen paper or toilet paper.

Oven cleaner
Is the outside of the deep fryer not getting hot, or do you want to clean the outside further after cleaning with paper towels? Then use a special oven cleaner or a degreaser (Bref is a good brand for this). Spray the product onto the outside of the deep fryer and let it soak for 10 minutes. The grease will dissolve, and you can then simply wipe it off with a paper towel. After that time, just wipe it down with a slightly damp dishcloth.

Soda
If the grease is still there, mix warm water with baking soda and spread it over the appliance. Let it sit for 15 minutes before wiping it away with a damp piece of paper towel. Dry the rest of the appliance with paper towels.
If water has run down the outside or if you think it has come into contact with electrical parts of the fryer, let it air dry for 24 to 48 hours before using it again.

Cleaning frying oil

Sometimes the frying oil is still good, but various bits and granules are floating in it. This can happen, for example, from frying bitterballen or other snacks with a breaded exterior. You can easily clean the frying oil after use by adding one or two raw egg whites. These absorb the dirt, and you can remove them once they have solidified.

To do this, separate the egg white. Then, carefully pour it into the still-hot frying oil and gently toss it around the pan with a slotted spoon. After about 15 seconds, the egg white will have fully solidified and absorbed all the dirt. You can now discard the egg white, and your frying oil is clean again!
