People feel sick after discovering hidden part of air fryer they never clean

Some folks aren't feeling entirely great about themselves right about now after someone showed the part of their air fryer that they never clean.

People seem to love the little kitchen gadgets to an almost cult-like degree, but do they love it enough to clean every nook and cranny of their precious culinary darling?

Apparently not, as while you might give most parts a good scrubbing to expunge the traces of food that were cooked in there you probably missed a spot.

It's alright, you can't always get it spick and span every single time, but if you never give it a good clean out the mess begins to be baked in.

That's what one person discovered when they was cleaning their air fryer and made the classic error of looking up around the heating element to discover a nest of nastiness.

Obviously they felt compelled to post the grimy results to TikTok and it seems as though a lot of people really wished they hadn't seen it.

"The underside of my air fryer is none of my business," was one of the more popular responses as it seems as though many kitchen aficionados reckon seeing is believing, so as long as they don't look it's not a problem.

Someone else joked 'I don't know what you're taking about, I don't see anything', while a third said 'thanks for sharing, now I'll never get an air fryer'.

Plenty decided they'd rather ignore what they'd just seen and carry on their lives in blissful ignorance, though others pointed out the obvious design flaw in this method.

"Use until fire, then buy a new one," was a popular alternative to cleaning the things, and there have been some cases of an unwanted inferno.

Let's be honest, all around the house are things we should probably keep a lot cleaner than we do.

Lots of guys are very attached to their 'yellow pillow' and all the accumulated nastiness that's seeped into it over the years, to the point that some are flabbergasted when it gets washed.

On top of that, when's the last time you washed or changed those towels you've been using for the past few days?

Then there's all the accumulated grime on various other kitchen appliances beyond the air fryer.

How clean is your actual oven or your microwave?

Really, what we're saying here is that you might want to figure out how to get on top of the accumulated muck before it all gets sealed in and almost un-shiftable.
