Amid the cost of living crisis, air fryers sales are booming across the UK to help tackle the soaring costs of energy bills. People are turning to the appliance over their hobs or ovens as they often cost less to run, plus the handy gadget also cooks meals in a healthier way.
However, one common bugbear with an air fryer is how difficult they are to clean - particularly if you don't wash with each use, as grease and grime can build up. Thankfully though, social media star Sophie Hinchliffe - who posts as cleaning influencer Mrs Hinch - has shared a 16p solution to tackle the problem.
Taking to her Instagram - where she boasts more than 4.6 million followers sharing her immaculate home and cost-efficient cleaning tips - the influencer shared the cheap hack with her fans.
The 16p tip is extremely simple and more importantly, it means you don't have to wash your device every time you use it.
While giving a tour of her new kitchen's pantry in a recent video on her Instagram stories, she shared an insight into how she keeps her Nina Air Fryer squeaky clean.
Documenting the stunning neutral theme of her kitchen, she brought up her handy air fryer, admitting that it's changed her life for the better.
She explained: "My air fryer, I don't know what I did before I had this air fryer guys it's so good.
"I bought it because my cousin's got one and she said it was amazing so I got the same one as her."
Sharing her nifty purchase from Amazon, Sophie revealed that she uses a baking liner each time she cooks with the air fryer, which cost just 16p each, and it keeps her air fryer perfectly clean.
On the popular online store, 40 baking lines retail for £6.49, which means that one line retails for just 16p a piece.
"And these are from Amazon they're baking liners and I use them to keep it quite clean inside," she said.
