Are AIR FRYERS UNSAFE to use?! Acrylamide and...CANCER?! | ASK A DIETITIAN

[@demenACE]

When you buy processed foods in the store, they may contain more of the oils that can make the foods turn into acrylamide. Most packaged foods are really unsafe due to low quality oils and ingredients. Safer way is to use only unprocessed foods. A potato is safe when you cut it and use it to cook in your air fryer. It takes practice to get right, but you know what is in there.

That doesn’t mean microwaves don’t cause cancer. I’m not saying they do, but the evidence your using to draw this conclusion is extremely misleading, that’s why some social studies have revealed that following your own experience as a predictor or decision maker, is unwise, it just suffers from to many biases especially if your not aware of how flawed It is , one professor went as far as saying “ your own experience is a really bad way to predict future outcomes” I wouldn’t go that far, but you should at least be aware that you’ll rarely draw accurate conclusions frpm anecdotal information, only, particularly if your using that kind of reasoning to make decisions for your children.

the biggest factor is how toxic it is to cook with devices made from plastic, this is far more harmful. cancer causing chemicals are released when the plastic is heated such as; - Bisphenol A. - Phthalates. - Polystyrene. - Acrylic. - Polyester. - Polyvinyl chloride. Plastic contains harmful or toxic chemicals that disturb the human system. In addition, if it is heated, the plastic starts to release an excess amount of these chemicals. Therefore, ensure that the foods are not reheated in plastic containers to prevent such toxicity.

[@jeffreypatterson9956]

The main problem is people crank the heat all the way up thinking they will shorten the cook time. I always set for the same temperature I would use for frying. For prepackaged fries/tater tots I sprinkle a little salt on them before cooking. I do 5 minute increments and salt/shake them in between. I don't expect an air fryer to cook faster, I just like that it doesn't use as much energy as a full sized oven. They really should market them for their efficiency as opposed to being faster.

It doesn't matter how you prepare it, oven, pan or airfryer, the color of the food after preparing matters only. The government from my country made a TV commercial with the slogan " Bake golden yellow and not golden brown" . Also we are warned about baking and grilling, included stirfrying,that it is causing air pollution ( fine dust) inside the house on very high levels and even higher than along the highway road. So you should always do that under an kitchen extractor hood on the highest setting or open windows if you don't have an extractor hood going directly to outside. So in that matter I also put the airfryer under the extractor hood. I personally care more about clean air inside the house simply because it is prooved that fine dust is very bad for your arteries and shortens peoples life. Sorry for my foreign english grammar.

[@carriecarrie7975]

I don’t think the air fryer per se is the dangerous part. But I would be a little concerned with this non-stick accessories, that come with the air fryer, when those accessories begin to break down (because they are probably made of some Teflon-type materials…not sure if it is Teflon exactly I think they started trying to phase out that dangerous material, but I think the material that is non-stick in general isn’t best/safest for you to use… so when it begins to chip, still beware) … but I use paper and silicone liners with the appliance to decrease the chance that any non-stick paints will break off and leach into the food. If you want an interesting and entertaining, close enough, depiction of what exactly happened with Teflon years ago, go watch the movie Dark Waters. It was very good and close enough. I would say that those materials are still used today, and people are unaware they only cook safely until the material begins to chip and scratch, when that occurs it is time to throw it out and replace.

[@exscape]

The movie is about Teflon manufacturing though, specifically PFOA. Finished Teflon as you'd have in an air fryer is inert and according to (among many!) the US FDA, Teflon chips are not dangerous to accidentally consume. PFOA is also not allowed to be used in manufacture today.

I only think about such health worries if the fryer smokes and gunks up. A clean air fryer is smokeless and gunk free. NEVER SPRAY OR APPLY OIL TO AN ALREADY HOT AIR FRYER BASKET AND CATCH BASIN and you get no tarry gunk build up. Apply super thin layer of oil to the cold surfaces and it will form a second no stick hard enamel seasoning that repels tar and gunk. Less scrubbing, less scouring, less ware on your no stick surface. Easy soft sponge and hot dish water rub off. Occassional deep cleaning involves 1 hour soaking in hot dish water with baking soda to increase caustic grease breakdown

good remark. i have been screaming head and tail about the scare article. but in all honesty, acrylamide isnt ONLY produced through air fryer. technically, any means of cooking the starchy food. as long as u REACHED the reaction temperature, the same food will turn into acrylamide anyway. In short, what type of appliances is quite irrelevant. Acrylamide production is defined by the Food you cook. and the temperature you cook at. Not the APPPLIANCES you decided to use. this is important such that u know, regardless if you Oven bake your fries, Deep fry, BBQ the Fries/ Potato, when it reaches the SAME reaction temperature, It WILL produce Acrylamide. this is why the targetting focus of Just air fryers are absurd. you might as well just put the original article as 'any means of cooking any potato/ french fries and starchy food at XXX Celcius will give u acrylamide' this sentence is far more accurate than the focus associating it with ONLY Air fryers. Hope my description clears the air for the rest of the world. And personally, i think whoever that perpetuated this 'study' on the 'dangers' by putting into the picture with 'air fryers' must have been the competitors of air fryers (Conventional Pot & Pans and cooking oil producers ) HAHAHA

Frozen fries are pre-fried. I'm 100% sure there's going to be a strong build-up of all sorts of stuff in the factory along with acrylamide, they'd be recycling the oil of course. The pre-frying is also what helps in getting the extra crispiness, but it can be mimicked at home by double frying.

So in regards to Acrylamide a key thing you missed in your video, to minimize the amount of Acrylamide in your food when doing virtually ANY air-frying, portion control is one factor but the other factor is HOW MUCH TIME IS COOKED, what type of food is used and food preparation. For example, if you prepare your potato's and soak them in water long enough and then you do an Air-fry, you reduce the amount Acrylamide. In addition, if you cook your fries in 180 instead of 200+ and then you cook it one more time at 160, to get the crisp, you already reduced the amount of Acrylamide in half.

Not only does air frying still run the risk of creating acrylamides, but polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and heterocyclic amines can result from all high-heat cooking with meat.

[@TravisBiggie]

Those studies regarding those are also bullshit. Mice given 10,000-100,000 the doses humans are exposed to. Dyor

[@SirenASMR_]

What about far infrared radiation from some of the air fryers ? Some of them use this form of heat and its toxic af. Also the Plastic coatings on some of the inside of the air fryers cause massive hormone problems . What are your thoughts on this ? i am doing research because my mother wants one and i keep telling her to just cook the veggies in the oven.

[@kimyah]

Airfryers are the new convection ovens or the bulky turbo broilers in the 90s. If you're scared of the all metal air fryer then just get the convection type from the 90s with the glass body and stainless steel grill. It uses the same hot air circulating in an enclosed area.

[@zoenoore840]

@@kimyah do you have a brand you suggest?

[@kimyah]

@@zoenoore840 none. We just use the generic ones. My relatives even have one that has been around for 20yrs. They are just too bulky and heavy though because of the glass but maybe they have ones now that are smaller in diameter. Because the old one were usually made for turkey

So can u make it simple for me For whole life.."is it HEALTHY or NOT HEALTHY using air fryer?"

[@allanbennett272]

What he said, had nothing to do with the air fryer it’s about the food that you’re cooking in it

[@Sincere4Eva]

People it’s a combination of the food and the air fryer itself. If you turn your air fryer upside down you’ll see the heating element and all the gunk around it. It’s very hard to clean so each time you use it you’re reheating that gunk & it’s fusing into the food. The designs of these air fryers are downright stupid if you ask me. The heating element should be able to be removed easily so that it can be cleaned properly. Throw them away & force these manufacturers to redesign them.. they don’t care about our health, only our dollars. 😡😡

[@lppbntso1]

Teflon, non-stick is very unhealthy. That’s even worse than what’s been discussed in this video.

[@omfa576]

Good explanation. well done. Thanks Leonaard. Don't throw out your air fryer, just because of the provocative headline.

Hi Leonard, a little peering is coming off the fryer is it still safe to use?

[@LeonardYTVern]

Hey, yeah it's generally fine.

[@hugoconti5135]

I was more worried about the Teflon that some of these Air Fryers have inside to make your cleaning easier. My air fryer is all stainless steel, more difficult to clean, but I rather take 2 or 3 minutes more to clean it.

I just got an instant pot duo crisp and the main pot is stainless steel, it's got a non-stick air fryer pot but you can use the stainless steel pot to air fry instead

[@kiranveerkaursidhu610]

@@tania354 Hi, I’m also interested in getting air fryer lid for my 6 qt Ip that I have. Did you mean that you can air fry in the stainless steel pot that comes with IP? I am doubtful if it would work properly as general air fryers have a pan/basket that has holes for proper air circulation. Just figuring out how it would work..

[@tania354]

@@kiranveerkaursidhu610 yes it is possible to air fry in the stainless steel pot. We've air fried whole chicken and some other bits and bobs in the stainless steel with no issues. We hardly use the non stick pot to air fry nowadays to be honest

Nice vid! How about TMAOs found when cooking meats at high temperatures, as in grilling, and also linked to cancer? Any concern about them when using an air fryer?

[@conned]

Only when you eat char bits, or burnt fries, carbo, if u freeze rice or potatoes, it increases Acrylamide content as well. Keep below 180DegC... But think about it, I know people who avoid high fats food but smoke 2 packs cigarettes aday.... Good factual demo !.

[@elricobailey3239]

Buy the thing.eat what you want. death is inevitable. you eat healty you can still get cancer or some other disease or die in n car crash.moral of the story,many people who eat healthy & exercise had a shorter live than those who smoked for 30 years. Enjoy your live and dont put restrictions on it,everything is as good as it is bad.

[@MoonSpinners]

Very true. I knew someone who smoked like a chimney for over 90 years, had other extremely unhealthy habits and she’s still alive! I also knew someone who jogged every day, went to the gym, ate a good balanced diet of all the health food fads and died aged 30 from a brain aneurysm. Death is going to get you, I think it’s determined the day you’re born.

[@Quade_YT]

I‘m about to sell it … and what about the Teflon sprayed inside ?

[@LaOwlett]

Air fryers, rice cookers, instant pots - are the ONLY safe way to cook using Teflon, in my opinion. They're incapable of going above the temperature that breaks down Teflon coatings, creating toxic gasses. People's stove tops and ovens easily become too hot. The bigger problem is people's choices of food and the smoke point of the oils they're using to cook with.

[@RD-wn1us]

What about the plastic tray of the air fryer on which food is placed for frying? Wouldn't that plastic secrete chemicals when heated to high temperatures?

[@LeonardYTVern]

Generally speaking, those plastics are specially designed to withstand such temperatures, and are normally for the outer layers only, in between other materials or insulators. This is where the old adage, of trusting reliable brands comes in handy. Hope this helps!

Is there such a thing as a teflon free air fryer?

[@madraven07]

Perhaps it’s the frozen fries that contains the acrylamide, not the air fryer.

I think there was no mentioning of PFOA and PTFE and BPA? PowerXL doesn't state PFOA, PTFE, BPA free.

It means if you constantly put garbage in your body you are in trouble, heating with air has nothing to do with it.

[@breakhart]

2 things that are incorrect about airfryer but spread like buzzing mosquitoes. one, acrylamide only in air fryer. the browning of starch are acrylamide no matter the medium is, the darker the color more acrylamide is on it. two, air fryer use no oil, well no, not all food. some are need oil to air fried it, but only need a spray of it instead of 1 cup

This is why I still have not used one yet.
