The multifunctional gadget can fit a 1.6kg chicken in each drawer using one of six cooking functions. Although oil is not required when it comes to air frying, certain foods release oil when they are heated.

Sharing on Mrs Hinch Clean Tips Facebook group, some users suggested to place the baskets in a dishwasher and let it do the heavy work.

Others came up with a more energy-saving suggestion as one posted a picture of Elbow Grease Washing Up Spray, adding: "Dish up ya scran, rinse with hot water then a good spray of this bad boy and leave to soak whilst you eat — then… Boom! Magic!"

A second also agreed and commented: "Little Elbow Grease Washing Up Spray, hot water in the drawers and air fry for two minutes."

And a third said it took her about 10 minutes to remove the grease and oil stains.

"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."

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".

Great for glasses, pans and plates, the Elbow Grease Washing Up Spray is a power degreasing, ready-to-use, washing up liquid spray.
