Citrus Degreasing Method: Instead of vinegar, use lemon juice mixed with water. The natural acidity in lemon juice works similarly to vinegar and gives the fryer a fresh scent.
Baking Soda Paste: For extra grease-heavy areas, make a paste by combining baking soda with a little water. Apply it to the greasy spots, let it sit, and then scrub off.
Commercial Degreasers: If the fryer is extremely dirty, consider using a commercial-grade degreaser designed specifically for kitchen appliances. Just be sure to follow all manufacturer safety instructions.
