11. Preventing Scratches

When you remove encrusted dirt from your air fryer basket with metal objects, such as a spatula or fork, you run the risk of scratching the basket or the non-stick coating. You use this to loosen small particles, which then end up in your food. Avoiding things like metal spatulas, steel wool and hard brushes will ensure that the baskets last for a long time. Use soft sponges and wooden or plastic utensils instead.
