Ever had the power cut out right when you were ready to bake? In Alabama, we call these "wild" moments just part of the routine! My heavy stand mixer sat still, so I rolled up my sleeves to knead by hand.

Can You Put Air Fryer Basket in Dishwasher

I just made hot wings on a rainy night. The grease was thick and sticky.

So, can you put your air fryer basket in the dishwasher?

I ran many tests on my own gear at home. The short answer is yes.

But I think you should wash it by hand. Harsh soap and high heat can peel the smooth coat.

I use hot water and blue soap in the sink. It takes just two minutes. This keeps your machine fresh for a long time.

Ever looked at a $5 generic part and wondered, are OEM parts worth it? 🛠️

Living in Birmingham, Alabama means hard water is my constant enemy. I tried to save a few bucks on a cheap washing machine valve once... and let’s just say my laundry room became a mini swimming pool! 🌊

Generic parts are fine for a simple plastic fridge bin, but for heat or water pressure? Stick to the real deal. I’m sharing my full "lesson learned" over at Home Pick Guide so you don’t make the same mistake I did.

Don't let a cheap fix turn into a big bill!

Ever bitten into a slice of pizza that was 50% lava and 50% ice cube? 🍕🧊 My microwave turntable decided to quit on me during a humid morning here in Jashore, and let’s just say my breakfast was... a struggle.

If your microwave oven turntable is not turning, don't panic! You don't need a new machine. Most of the time, it is just a bumped glass plate or some sticky oatmeal gunk in the tracks. I just finished a deep dive on how to fix this yourself in under five minutes—from cleaning the rollers to swapping a $5 motor.

Stop eating unevenly heated leftovers! Grab a screwdriver and let's get that plate spinning again. 🛠️✨
