And a third said it took her about 10 minutes to remove the grease and oil stains.<\/p>\n
"Washing up liquid, a teaspoon of baking soda sprinkled in, fill with boiling water to above the plates turn on for 10 mins," she added. "Dirt just wipes off really easy in the sink after."<\/p>\n
To clean the compartment inside Ninja air fryer, one foodie said she'd give the inside "a wipe with a damp cloth but no cleaning fluids".<\/p>\n
