Are Air Fryers Safe?

[@AlwinPaul18]

I was looking for an answer for many months now. Nothing was convincing. This is very clear. Thanks Krish.

[@vineetsansi]

Many air fryers contain Non stick toxic coatings .. watch videos of professionals that work on testing and creating reports on toxic substances & food.

[@Domino551-nn9ne]

[@kzhemh]

I read that the non stick coating in air fryers contain polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and like no stick pans, the PFAs can get into your food if the coating on the air fryer gets scratched or damaged. Would using air fryer liners help prevent this?

Same question

I saw many videos on air fryer since I was planning to purchase it. However this piece of information is very helpful and convincing. Thanks

[@fromaveragerunnerto4hrmara240]

@krishashok , but its also said that the basket is coated with PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) which if has ruptured can be carcinogenic on food.

[@zukzworld]

Great video man, thank you! My airfrier is a life changing experience, specially for a single portion. For cooking meats or meals that goes to freezer for few days consumption, I still need the oven. But for quick small portions crispes, nothing can beat the airfrier! ❤️✌🏾

[@krishashok]

Absolutely!

Are the plastics used in these air flyers capable of handling high temperatures? I suppose, they would tested for same. But have seen the plastic smell complaint in some of the reviews

Silicone/PTFE is capable of handling pretty high temperatures. There may be individual cases of badly produced appliances where this happens.

Still better than deep frying pakoras I guess. Less calories so one can enjoy crispy textures better and probably the concentration of those harmful compounds will be more in deep frying. What do you think?

[@theBartSimpson]

But what about the non-stick/teflon coating on the insides and the frying basket? Won't they release carcinogens as the temperatures may reach 230°C?

Every year since independence, average life expectancy in India has increased. It has gone up from 40 to 73 now. So, how come all these theories you mention don't seem to come true?

[@varunj2244]

That's a false argument, we've been able to reduce deaths due to preventable disease and improve mother and infant nutrition initiative which reduced child mortality rates and those measures have increased the life expectancy. What the above comment alluded to is quality of life. So your comment doesn't seem to be an apt counter.

[@prasadk6186]

Gotta be a joke! If you are sensitive to minimal risks, then you also need to avoid using mobile phones, microwaves, TV and other appliances that emit radiation. But in spite of using all these, our overall quality of life and longevity has increased. Vata.. lol.. As per ayurveda, you need to literally avoid all tasty food and masalas, but that's not practical. Sugar and excess carbs are also linked to lifestyle diseases and cancer. We consume all these and expect to avoid using air fryer to reduce risks! Stupidity is what it is!!

how much healthier is it to eat oil free air fried (not baked) foods made of maida all day long, 2-3 times a day than eating these foods deep or shallow fried once in 2-3 months? where is the scoence for oil free being god & deep fried being bad?

[@krishashok]

It's not about individual ingredients or foods but the overall balance of your diet over a longer period. So, oil free is often sold as a healthier thing simply because of the fewer calories, but you are right. Eating fibre-free snacks made of maida with some fat is better than eating them without any fat
