Tip 1: clean with dish soap

Make some soapy water with warm water and some dish soap. It's best to use dish soap with lemon, because that degreases best and it smells nice. With this soapy water, you can use a soft sponge to clean the inner pan, the basket, the lid, and the exterior of your deep fryer. Are there many caked food rests? Let is soak for a while. Don't use an abrasive sponge to scrub, because there's a bigger risk you'll damage the deep fryer.
