So, you've conquered crispy fries and perfectly roasted veggies with your Ninja Air Fryer! Now for the dreaded cleanup. You're probably staring at those baskets, wondering: "Can I just chuck these in the dishwasher?" The short answer? It depends on your Ninja Air Fryer model!
While *most* Ninja Air Fryer baskets and crisper plates *are* advertised as dishwasher safe, it's crucial to check your model's manual. Why? Repeated dishwasher cycles, especially with harsh detergents, can potentially damage the non-stick coating over time. This can lead to food sticking and a shorter lifespan for your beloved baskets.
Our recommendation? Even if your manual says 'dishwasher safe,' consider hand-washing the baskets occasionally with warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge. This helps preserve that non-stick goodness for longer. For stubborn grease, a soak in hot, soapy water before washing can work wonders. Happy frying (and easy cleaning)!
