Incredible.
Do you unplug before immersing in mild, green FL?

Naughty! Sadly of course there are always those who do not heed the "Do not immerse" caution.
But seriously, if a bit of cooking equipment isn't cleaned after use then it's likely to get increasingly yukky. Has the ' an air-fryer is the answer' over-promotion been taken to include saving time on cleaning the thing by just ignoring it?

'Increasingly yucky', just so and hence the arrival of the self-cleaning electric oven and no more tiresome and difficult cleaning needed.
We only use our air fryer for cooking frozen chips and the occasional jacket potato and. FL cleans effectively.

Although, depending on the type, the hit to your leccy bill can be considerable! I did have an oven with pyrolytic linings but never ran the cleaning cycle. Then again I didn't do the kind of oven cooking that creates a lot of mess - roasts weren't part of the family menu except the occasional chicken. The easiest to deal with was the next oven which had good quality enamel panels that could be easily removed, which saved having to crawl inside the cavity to get at messy corners. They were easy to wipe over in situ if necessary as the shelf supports simply unhooked.
One of my gripes about so much kitchen equipment these days is that it assumes possession of a dishwasher, so there are lots of nooks and crannies and unreachable crevices that don't lend themselves to hand washing.

Particularly grooves along tops of fridges and kitchen cupboards in which crumbs and sticky residues get trapped at the ends. One would think the designers of these items would have thought about such practicalities, but no.
