Hello Ramesh, Cleaning an air fryer basket without scratching the non-stick coating is easy if you use the right approach. Here is a step-by-step method to keep your machine looking brand new: 1. Soak in warm soapy water: Fill the sink with warm water and a few drops of mild dish soap. Let the basket soak for 15 to 20 minutes to loosen grease and food bits. 2. Use a soft sponge: Gently wipe down the surfaces using a non-abrasive sponge or microfiber cloth. Avoid steel wool or hard brushes entirely. 3. Tackle stubborn spots: For stuck-on food, make a paste of baking soda and water, let it sit for a few minutes, then wipe clean with your soft sponge. I hope this helps you cook many more wonderful meals for your family!

I tried using a soft dish brush and warm soapy water last week and it cleaned everything without any scratches. You just need to let it soak for a bit first.

i think you just need warm water and soap maybe? i remember my mom doing that with pots but im not totally sure if it works for air fryers :(

when i first got my appliance i was so worried about ruining the basket coating too. i usually just fill it with warm soapy water and let it sit for a while before wiping it gently with a cloth. i think baking soda helps with grease sometimes, but i am not entirely sure if it is completely safe for all metal types so you might want to double check that part.
