How do you clean a small deep fryer?

Question

I have a small deep fryer and it needs to be cleaned! This maybe a stupid questions but how do I clean it? Is there anything special I need to know?

Also how often should I clean it?

Answer 1

i say every 3or 4 used you should change the oil, pour the used oil out wipe it dry with paper towel than soke it in hot water for 30 minute than wash it narmaly

Answer 2

Drain out the old oil and wipe it out with paper towels. Then take a wet soapy sponge to wipe it. Rinse the sponge and keep whipping it out and rinsing the sponge. Never put the fryer in the sink. Just keep doing this until all the oil is gone and then make sure all the soap is also. It really don't take that long, it just sounds like it.

Answer 3

Whatever you can pull off the deep fryer... stick in the dish washer. Get a Mr. Clean magic eraser, get it wet with hot water... then rub off the grease on the outside. It'll bead off... If needed, use some 409 to help with the cutting process. A little elbow grease will get it off nicely.

Answer 4

you will need a mask, for this ,you need to drain the fryer scape al l the old crud of the sides ,and spray some oven cleaner all around it .let it sit for half a hour or so it should start to peel off, repeat is it doesnt come off first time, i would sit it out side with lots of fresh air,and wear gloves with this oven clear, can be harmfull, make sure you rise it out three or more time to get rid of any cleaner, i nthe mean time ,fliter you oil. after every use will save on oil. good luck

Answer 5

Get the fryer warm and pour out the grease.Wash with dish detergent and thats all you need to do

Answer 6

I have a small "fry daddy" and it got kinda grungy looking after a while...so I used oven cleaner on it and worked to a point it kinda took some of the finish off the outside of it.......but at least the grunge is gone!

Answer 7

I usually soaks the oily part in soapy water for a while...then wash it wish more soap, rinse. The electrical part, I usually wipe it with dump cloth and clean it till it's get clean.

Answer 8

I recommend a detergent that cuts grease. If it does not have an anti-stick coating, use steel wool. If it does use a plastic scrub pad.

Worse comes to worse use a metal paint scraper. Next time soak it when you are done using it, before you wash it so it does not get stuff sticking to it.

Answer 9

Do you have an iron skillet if so it's allot like you would clean it, you use a mild detergent and dry it out with a paper towel !
