How and how can you quickly wash and clean the inner walls of the multicooker?

Very few housewives bother with how to wash the multicooker inside from fat, preferring to do with standard surface treatments or even with the help of a dishwasher. This leads to rather disastrous consequences: dishes begin to burn, lose their purity of taste, the device quickly fails.

The inner walls of the unit are usually made of Teflon or ceramic, which significantly complicates the process of removing fat. But you can find a way out of this situation if you approach the problem with all responsibility. We must not forget that to obtain the desired result, you need to wash not only the walls, but also the heating element, the inner surface of the lid, and a compartment for collecting moisture.

Features of cleaning the inside surfaces of the multicooker

Before you clean the multicooker with one of the usual tools, you need to familiarize yourself with the basic rules of the approach:

The first time cleaning inside the appliance should be carried out immediately after its purchase. To do this, you need a soft cloth and warm water. In the presence of extraneous odors, it will be necessary to additionally use neutral detergents.
A full treatment of the device should be carried out after each use. In this case, traces of fat should be washed not only inside the bowl, but also from the heating element, lid, moisture collector.
Processing is carried out only after the product has completely cooled down.
Hard brushes and abrasives are strictly prohibited.
If during the cooking process the ingredients begin to burn, this may indicate poor cleaning of the bottom and walls or a violation of the integrity of the non-stick layer. In this case, you need to wash the multicooker inside with special care and contact the repair if the manipulation does not give the desired changes.
Drying the product is no less important than thorough cleaning. The appliance must not be closed and removed until the smallest traces of moisture have been removed. Otherwise, mold will start on the elements inside the multicooker.

These are just basic recommendations for operating a household appliance. In addition to them, there are many more nuances and specific features.

Rules and nuances of processing internal elements and parts of the device

The cleaning procedure for the cooking appliance begins with the bowl. It all depends on the coating material of the element.

In order to wash the Teflon bowl quickly, efficiently and without harm to the device, the following rules must be observed:

The appearance of scratches is unacceptable, therefore it is best to use neutral gels and soft wipes.
The use of a dishwasher is allowed, but only if it is separately specified in the instructions.
Teflon does not tolerate temperature extremes, so do not immediately treat the product or rinse it with cold water.

Tip: Elements of the multicooker will cool many times faster if you disassemble the appliance immediately after cooking. At the same time, it is strictly forbidden to expose parts to frost or to place in the refrigerator, regardless of the type of material.

When rinsing the bowl, it is recommended to add a little lemon juice to the water. This will refresh the product and get rid of the intrusive odors that remain after cooking.

Ceramics can only be washed taking into account the following nuances:

You can only wash a crock-pot with a ceramic bowl by hand. Any external impact can lead to the formation of cracks and chips, which will mean the end of normal operation.
During the cleaning process, you will have to abandon acids and alkalis.Machining involves the use of soft sponges without metal threads and inserts.
Contrary to popular belief, it is strictly forbidden to process such a multicooker with soda inside. Allowed to use only gels that do not damage the protective film on the coating. In the presence of serious impurities, the bowl should be soaked in this composition, but not more aggressive manipulations should be performed.

If you are going to wash other components that are inside the multicooker, you must be guided by the following wishes of professionals:

To clean the heating element with the correct use of the appliance, it is sufficient to use a rag soaked in a solution of detergent. But first, you need to remove even the smallest particles of food, they can scratch the functional part.
Mud adhering to the heater is allowed to be affected by a soda composition, but care must be taken that it does not get on materials that are more sensitive to abrasives. We moisten the heater, pour soda on a soft sponge and quickly wipe off the dirt. After that, we wash the work surface with clean water.
The covers in most models are removable, which makes it easy to wash them in a suitable solution. If the element is fixed, then you have to use the "field" method. Pour water into the bowl of the assembled product, add lemon juice to it and start it in the “double boiler” mode. After that, any dirt will easily move away from the cover.
The moisture collector must be removed immediately after the cooking process is completed and emptied. Otherwise, it will continue to operate with steam on the internal elements. To wash it simply, under running water or in a neutral solution.

The multicooker body does not need to be cleaned at all. If spots appear on it, this indicates inaccuracy in cooking or violation of the rules of cooking.

When cleaning a functional device, do not forget that it works from the network. Before starting any manipulations, it must be turned off, otherwise the risk of accidents is high. Further operation of the device can only be started after it has been thoroughly washed and dried. It is strictly forbidden to immediately drive the product in the second round, even if you plan to cook exactly the same dish.
