    One time, I thought it’d be easier to just dump the fries or whatever from the basket onto the plate. And it worked, except all of the accumulated old oil and crumbs also came out, too. That was pretty gross.

      I thought people in this thread were talking about not scrubbing the inside of the machine walls and I could relate.

      This comment made me realize people meant they just don’t clean the basket… What the fuck

      Like, if I make something that doesn’t leave any significant residue I might dump the crumbs and use it again but even a little oil and it’s getting cleaned.

        People don’t realize that cooking oil, olive oil, any food oil no matter how many times you think you cooked it or reheated it does go bad, especially if you just leave it sitting in the open air for days or weeks.
