I specifically got stainless steel fry baskets to go in there because I cannot bring myself to trust Teflon anymore. Besides the sense of risk, it just wears out so fast it's like I rented it. I'm all stainless, tempered glass, and cast iron these days. And you can scrub the shit out of those.

That's it.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

In an air fryer?
Yes.
Once you do get it clean, keep it wrapped in aluminum foil so you never have to worry about this again.
I do now. lol
It depends on what it's made of. If it's still you can soak it in lye water, or use easy off oven cleaner. It'll tear apart the burn spots in the organics and leave you with bare metal.
The tricky part, is if it's aluminum. It'll actually corrode the surface. All the organics will still come off of it, but it will leave a black oxide coating on the surface. Now to be fair that Black oxide coating is easier to scrub off then the original grease carbon, and polymers, but it will leave the surface a little thinner and a little pitted. If you do it more than a few times on thin aluminum you can actually put holes in it.
The next best thing to use would be bar keepers friend which is an oleic acid powder cleanser it requires quite a bit more elbow grease but it will get the job done without hurting the metal.
Steel I think.
Spray it with easy off let it sit for a few minutes if it is steel you'll just be able to scrub it clean without too much work. If it turns dark gray it's aluminum just scrub it down wash it off scrub it down again wash it off again.
Scrub with wet salt and/or wet baking soda because both are abrasive.
Leave the baking soda + water gloop on the stains for maybe half an hour because baking soda cleans things, then rinse and repeat as necessary.
Will try.
Good luck, brother.

Have you tried giving it an overnight in some Coca-Cola™️. It's one of the best, cheap cleaning supplies I have in my house.
No. To think that Coca Cola is more popular than Tide is incredible.
Both are equaly popular for kids to consume.
Soak it in lye. Its easy to find crystalized lye labeled as drain cleaner.
I know someone who has lye. I can ask them for help.
Caustic soda might work cleaning oil stains.
Where do I get that?
Don't know where you live... look for it on duckduckgo
Is it coated with anything? If it's just bare metal then scrub it with steel wool and some water, any burns & stains should come off without much effort.
If it's coated then I'd try to soak it in soapy water over night and then gently scrub. Keep in mind that anything you put on there you're probably going to eat with your next few meals so before you use any aggressive chemicals just buy a new tray.
To add to this, you can get scrubby pads that are plastic and won’t scratch Teflon or other no. Stick pans. Just make sure they’re not doped with abrasive paste.
Soak with some dish soap, anything more than that is going to be problematic. This
Fwiw if you can't scrub it off then it's probably not coming off in your food either
Have you tried vinegar?
Yes.
