The Toxic Truth About Your Air Fryer (Safest Chemical Free Air Fryers)

- Your air fryer is toxic. I'm surprised nobody is talking about this. Most of them use a non stick teflon coating on the basket full of forever chemicals like PFAS, PFOA, PFOS. I was searching for teflon free ceramic air fryers but they also have lead and cadmium. The rabbit hole goes deep on this one. Safest material is glass, but there's still toxins in the heating element and the body like BPA plastic. I finally found the best air fryer, safest with least amount of chemicals. Salton Flip and Cook 2-in-1 Air Fryer & Grill AF2090.

Bought the Yedi! Thank you!
You still promote zen cleanse ????
Just drop the eggs from 6-8 inches on the counter.
Have you tried the Fritaire air fryer? If not check it out and give a review!
are the silicone placeholders attached to the tray safe to use? I bought the Yedi and it came with these little silicone things attached to the tray to hold it in place inside the pan...
"all I smell is nightmares from China" dude. that's funny
It's why I love this man
If you never clean your air fryer (like me) it becomes so encrusted with food that your food never actually touches the basket. It's a win win.
perfectly seasoned like cast iron LOL
I know this was playful banter but the vapors escape into the food and you also breathe it in
Death by Teflon or house fire, you made your choice 😂
Thts y u should not wash no air pollution can touch ur skin
😅
i will say u are more fun to watch as a carnivore
I always knew air fryers were bad when I saw one of them say "FDA Approved" Before anyone actually looked into them now I can see I was bang on for not getting one.
or just follow the advice of this video and get a glass one
@@KK-lg8uz I'll pass on zapping my food.
@@TheTH-camExpert it’s hot air not microwaves 🤣
@@KK-lg8uz i can tell you got one.. You are emotionally attached as i can tell. I never said it was a microwave. You are just cooking all the nutrients out of your food more efficiently with this. Good job
@@TheTH-camExpert you ok?
I’m so glad more people are paying attention to health and investigating this.
Hilarious! The omega 3 fight going on in that bowl. Priceless! Thanks for posting. Looking for a toxic free air fryer as well and looking into Fritaire.
I wonder if Aliens are avoiding the earth because it's made of iron and nickel with traces of aluminum and lead.
Naaa, they're not into mingling with wild animals (not referring to caged ones in zoos)
They arent avoiding the Earth .. just our humanely influences 😂
Your are going to stress yourself out so much about diet, materials etc etc that the oblivious sheep and you call them will outlive you TBH Lol I am not saying don't try to do better, but being super paranoid of everything and extreme is not good for your either and the judgement doesn't make you better it is quite the opposite...
long time no see Vegetable Police. Havn't seen you sence you first tried carnivore. I was looking for glass air fryers and it looks like you may have done all the work for me. thanks
i see you are still eating meat. how is your health these days? Are you still with your girlfriend/wife?
OMG 🤪😱 NOT THE AIRFRYER 🤐😓😮🤯🤮
🍆👩❤️💋👨
I got the Instant Pot Duo Crisp, it's got a stainless steel pot, I got rid of the included Teflon coated basket, and just use the steel wire rack that's also included. For small stuff like french fries I bought a finely meshed steel wire basket separately. I think it's a good option, it works great.
There are much cheaper alternative lids.
@@vegetablepolice Nope, it's $50 cheaper than the glass one you promote. And way more versatile.
@@Lamz.. It wasn't an insult, relax. I just said that there are cheaper lids that fit on the Instant Pot to air fry.
@@vegetablepolice 🤣 I wasn't accusing you of anything, you carnivores are always so edgy! 😉
A complete set costs $129 US (airfryer lid + Instant Pot) which is a cheaper option than the glass air fryer, and you get all the added Instant Pot options to boot, is what I was trying to say. :)
@@Lamz.. I'm just saying for other people reading your comment, there are cheaper lids that fit the Instant Pot, like $50. I almost went with that, but my instant pot is not near any ventilation and we don't have space.
That looks a really amazing air fryer. It solves the one irritating problem with them is that you can't really see what's going on so you have to keep opening the basket.
Just like a non stuck fry pan have used all these since they were literally started at 77 years old no problems, no blood pressure, no high sugar, and I eat EVERYTHING still have the same waist as 25 years old, some like a George Forman where the black had flaked off I just insert a folded piece of tin foil
Why not just get a countertop convection oven? They're not that much bigger than an air fryer, which is technically a convection oven with a basket.
That's exactly what I did. For some reason it's easy to find those with all stainless steel construction. But air fryers with a stainless steel basket are non-existent. At least I couldn't find one.
Why not just do away with electricity and cook everything outside on hot stones
The steak should have been 6 -12 minutes for entire cook time.
❤️🍀
Total cook time for me is 6 minutes.
Love the consistency recently btw
The only safe way to cook is with glass.
In the oven?
You are saying chemicals and suggesting those as safest air fryers
*#wow** 🥶 why do I feel like we should be married* ..
*#Idk** idk , ok I’ll just leave* 👀😅
I’ve been hearing about aluminum being linked to Alzheimer’s for about 30 years now, but the more I think about it, the more I question it. I recently bought a small Italian espresso maker for the stovetop, the famed "moka pot" by Bialetti. I got a bit nervous when I found out it was made of aluminum, but when I started thinking about it, every household in Italy has a moka pot, that thing has been around since at least the 40s... Does anybody know if Italians have an increased incidence of Alzheimer’s in its population? Italians are amongst the healthiest and longest living people in Europe by the way, did you know that? Speaking of aluminum cooking wares, I don’t see Asian countries, where most of these aluminum pots and pans are made, using stainless steel instead. Sure they have iron woks, but everything else is aluminum I don’t even have to think about, I’m sure. Are these people dealing with an increase in Alzheimer’s cases? Most of these places are Blue Zone countries. Why would industry be using aluminum instead of stainless if aluminum is poison? Have you looked into the possibility of radioactivity in earthenware? Seems to me that would be a more serious problem.
aluminum is actually found in the brain plagues of dead Alzheimer patients
Aluminium is a serious health problem because it destroys the grey matter of your brain. Exposure to aluminium literally causes cavities in your brain. You should never let heated aluminium get into contact with food or drink.
I believe the aluminum link was debunked, Teflon though, can kill birds from the air fumes, and if a canary can survive a coal mine and not a Teflon pan heating up, you need a different pan. I use an instant pot with the stainless insert, use a convection toaster oven which are way better made than air fryers. Cast iron from my great grandma, who still drives and lives alone. Eat real food, something your great great great grandma would recognize and cook if you brought it to her. Eat meat, veg, and if you have to because you can't afford it and you're losing weight, some grains. Avoid sugar besides rare special occasions, and any weird stuff. Be physically active, often, above all else.
And this is why I never bought an air fryer …I must be the only one knew that does not have one . Thank you for doing this!
place the parchment paper between the bottom of glass ware and plastic...
first stop smokin so much weed and secondly always keep an eye on the basket and crisping tray to make sure there is no marks and scratches and never use metal utensils to move the food or use scoures to clean it.
and if you are realy bothered put some grease proff paper under the food.
dont buy cheap from unknown brands that have no safety regs at all.
but a brand like NINJA or COSORI have to be up to the standards needed.
i wish they did a stainless steel version of the crisper plate but i have looked everywhere and have not found them.
you are better off eating good healthy unprosesed foods than worying about what you are cooking them in.
Most apartments come with this thing called an "oven" that most people forget about, or millenials dont know what it does.
I don’t get the air fryer mania. It’s just a small oven. I fry my steaks in a frying pan. Does a perfect job.
It cooks way faster than an oven and uses way less electricity.
@@stargazerbirdI just use a small oven.
😂💀
Glass in the oven is the way to go! you can even grill a steak really hot this way without overcooking :)
what about inside the heater? I'll bet there's plenty of exposed plastic inside the unit.
I wonder about this with coffee machines too, what about the plastic inside that the water goes through
I love ya for air frying a grass fed steak. Corn and soy fed meat causes metabolic syndrome and worse over time. Not only because of what it does to goo up ones filters, the GMO part means it has traces of RoundUp/glyphosate in the final product. The top 5 farm bill commodities the USDA subsidizes to FOOD INC are all GMO/RoundUp Ready crops. Sugar (beet/cane), wheat, corn, rice and soybean make up 60% of the western diet. I started limiting them two years ago when Wuhan Fauci disease was released. I friggin knew not to take the koolaid jab so I binged on nutritional lectures.
Is there an air fryer you like besides the Salton? Or an updated one?
You know what else offgases?
Been using my air fryer almost every day for 5 years, they're great!
If it's glass you don't need parchment paper. Yeah it makes it easier for clean up. It will clean up fine without it. Parchment paper smells funny to me when using it to bake with. Just my thoughts.
Anything I buy from amazon smells of a certain chem even the boxes are covered in it . They started doing this a few years ago don’t know what this smell is but it can be quite strong . Has anyone else noticed this or have any ideas as to what it is ?
It's a sanitizer. Really Organic called them about it in 2020 and recorded the call but YT deleted all her videos and I unfortunately don't remember exactly what the chemical is.
Not just Amazon. It's the cardboard manufacturer/box maker. I've had prints delivered that I couldn't even bring the box in my house it smelled so bad. Contacted the lab and they said it was the boxes. They come that way. Yes, it all started in 2020. Definitely a chemical scent.
Wasn’t that just a great year for all the things…🤬
Hilariously enough silicon oil is a super common additive in frozen foods like hot pockets and stuff because it's an inert anti frothing agent. Aparently the parchment also has silicon oil but I feel like there's gotta be some other stuff in there too
Parchment paper is made by soaking paper in acid. That's how the paper molecules break down and become transparent.
Hot pockets are evil. They come for your life with their insane hotness
Just like a microwave, I'm not going to bother with one of these things. Living off grid, a gas stove, a pan and a pressure cooker pot can do all the cooking I need. In winter, I use the top of my wood fire.
Vegetable police for life 🥳
if the glas feels heavy and kinda soft - theres probably lead in it. - was normal back in the days...
Teflon is not toxic though and the temperature inside an air fryer is definitely not high enough to cause any "off-gassing"
I'm an aerospace engineer with quite a lot of experience working on heatshields capable of widthstanding (or ablating) at hypersonic speeds and temperatures (well over 1500 Celsius)
You'd be better off with a sous vide circulator and a cast iron or carbon steel pan. Zero clean-up with sous vide, very little with a well seasoned pan and always the desired "doneness". 🥩
Cast iron is a black art.
How about the Cuisinart or GE Brand Stainless Steel Air Fryers? Are those any good? Anyone try those out?
I'm back! I've got another question for you. If you're on the lookout for the perfect diet, why not adopt the dietary habits of individuals in the blue zones? These are regions where people consistently live to be over 100 years old.
Omg, where have you been? 😮
@@flumpaustin1994 😁
What do they eat ?
@@teekandy People in Blue Zones areas have a diet that is 95% plant-based. Fruits, vegetables, beans, tofu, lentils, nuts, and seeds are rich with disease-fighting nutrients and the cornerstone of their diets.
@@Eddie-3466 really ? Gotta look into it but ill never become vegan..fuck that
Thank you your video is saving lives and your very likable , just subscribed!
Why is he not just using a pan?
Well, smarter then you for sure :D@@durango4624
Getting the Yedi. Thank you for this video!
Yeah was gona say I dont think aluminium can leak through a layer of ceramic unless you damage it
put a silicon mat between the glass and plastic
Check the Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer. It’s not a bucket type design but I find it more useable for wider range of cooking. It has a stainless steel basket. It also comes with some non stick trays that you throw away and just put a small glass or stainless steel roasting dish in there instead.
I checked the Breville and unless I am mistaken, it has non-stick coating inside (the black paint inside the oven).
@@jennifera.6158thats why he said throw away the trays it comes with and use a glass roasting dish
Have used frying pans with flaking non stick for obedience 55 years, no Alzheimer’s issue,more likely ti due from violence on the street now!!
I'm boxing up my air fryer, tired of smelling and tasting electrical fumes. There is no way to get away with out cleaning a greasy mess. Keepin' it simple with my fry pan with a lid. My best version of an air fryer is good enough for me
Do they give off a lot of smell and fumes , and is it bad for health .Just asking because I'm worried about the health risks to children who are exposed to it for constant periods of time.
@@marierichmond6735it’s like second hand smoke😬
😆😆😆
How was the plastic, hot? I imagine fumes get circulated into your glass pot directly from the air fryer sucking in the fumes then blowing them all around your food. It may be a better trade off than the other air fryers. 🤷♂️. I. Thinking you might be able to remove the plastic base & replace it with a stone but finding the same height base is never easy.
truth, should do more of these// try to find a coffee maker with a steel glass path..
Check out the Oster countertop ovens (the ones with Turbo and Air Fry buttons). They’re just straight stainless construction inside and out. No non-stick coatings or aluminum. I’m on my third one in 15 years and they are excellent in every aspect.
Cool! I'm looking into Cuisinart or GE Brand Stainless Steel Air Fryers.
Are Oster oven fryers reliable ?
How about a toaster oven?
I wouldn’t get one… everything stainless steel.
I spent the longest time trying to find a non aluminium stove top espresso maker… I feel your pain…
It’s time to toss the microwave too…
… I wanna ask how come you have that broccoli guy for your logo?
Why can’t they make a SS one? Why can’t you make or replace the basket w SS one
Bit off topic but i use sio2 ceramic spray to detail my cars and every time i use it i feel like death the next day . Pitty it works so well on the car.
I’m researching this air fryer thing and this is one of the BEST REVIEWS I’VE EVER SEEN.
You should get a Römertopf.
Nightmares from China.. ha!😂
8:15 But what is the grill made of? Teflon coated??
Love you man! When I was a vegan I followed you, I was vegan most of my life, then due to arthritic inflammation I switched to more of a meat based way of eating. Came back to your channel recently and so fun to see you are following the same trajectory, I certainly get chuckles watching you, lol. 😂 Keep searching for the truth! ❤
It very hard to be healthy. Yet being aware is half the battle. You may want to look at Meat Glue . Your roast looks like it was used.
We all die eventually enjoy your great tasting food and stop bitching about everything
I cook everything in cast iron.
A slow cooker with a stoneware container should be in your future for insanely tender chuck roasts (or any type of roast). So damn easy and so good! Just a stoneware container and a glass lid. Nothing toxic in sight.
Slow cookers are my preferred way of cooking. For variation, frying in a stainless steel pan or cast iron skillet is a good option. Airfryers were made as a low-fat option to pan-frying, so, if you're not afraid of fat, you don't need an airfryer.
Some stoneware slow cookers have lead 😤
@@audioupgradesNot, afraid of fat. I just love how quick and easy they are. It’s so nice to throw in a piece of salmon and it’s done in a few minutes. I even do hard boiled eggs in mine!
A good old fashioned cast iron pan, and some giraffe tallow is all you need "bro"
I stopped drinking water because after conducting extensive research, i found out that it was turning me gay.
What is wrong with cast iron pan and fire?
All pans including cast iron contains tin which will result in heavy metals in your food- even stainless steel. They are certainly safer than aluminum/teflon. Ultimately glass is the way to go.
@@theboraxbandit9563 sources for this?
@@paulojose7568 You don't want too much iron in your blood, it's not good.
Dammit i purchased one thinking to myself oh boy.. go on youtube to find recipes an watch this 😢
all the dangers listed for ceramic seem to be if the coating is scratched and food is exposed to the metal below. I will stick to my ninja air fryer grill cause that steak cooked on grill mode vs air fry mode for 12 minutes would be medium rare with grill marks and all. best appliance I have ever purchased and when I want to airfry something like wings it cooks them to crispy perfection as well in the airfry basket which is interchangeable with the grill plate. Did you check the glass not all glass is food-friendly it could have lead if it was made in China :-)
lol such a huge rabbit hole if you want to cook something and not die from cancer in 20yrs
at this point most people die from cancer no matter how careful they are we have poisoned our whole environment to the point there is no way to avoid carcinogens @@paulojose7568
Dude your baking paper that you used for the steak contains teflon…
those Ninja air fryers always smell like plastic fumes for a week when you first get them
mine didn't but itis the 5-1 grill one not an airfryer alone
@@TatiachaI have the same one and it never smelled.
only stainless steal are good. Good one is expensive, professional air fryer have stainless steel
I cook ribeyes in a cast iron with butter, in the barbecue grill with the lid closed. No mess inside the house and no toxins. After the grill is nice and hot, six minutes on both sides with the lid closed makes a beautiful crust and perfect if you like it on the rarer side.
That's why raw carnivore is the ultimate diet in every way although it is hard to sustain and takes a lot of willpower, but its the healthiest diet in the world.
Raw meat hurts my gut, or I'd be raw ;)
The glass situation makes me a little nervous. Did you look into countertop convection ovens (or toaster ovens) which I believe are the same thing as an air fryer, except they have a door instead of a basket. Those things come in all-metal, I think.
I am a loser instant-pot air fryer person and I was thinking getting another one, that’s how much I love it. But because of you, I will probably stick to just one or transition to a toast oven apparatus.
yeah the ninja air fry oven has metal rack and metal-air fry basket (stainless I presume have not researched that)
Backing paper often are made with PFAS coating 😂
If you get the toaster oven style air fryer they are all stainless
I have a "Kalorik" brand air fryer with glass doors and stainless steel racks, and I love it. Steaks are fantastic; crispy on the outside, medium-rare on the inside. It's a beast to clean but then I think they all are...
Glad someone else noticed how toxic most air fryers are…
I was wondering the same. I just threw out all my Teflon plans for stainless Steele and cast iron. Was thing about air fryer, but not sure now if i really need or want one.
Yes, even though airfrier steak is inferior to a proper grill or even a cast iron one, you can definitely cook it in in it. And because the temperature is relatively low with no open flame in it, you can get a wireless thermometer in there to control the temp. You should definitely have a medium rare steak. I swear to god, if you don't, I'm going to devote the rest of my life locating you and coming over to cook a good steak for you personally! I'll set up a grill just outside of your home and no amount of exhaust fan power will save you from delicious aroma coming from the steak being cooked, forcing you to go out and try it!
unless you need the flavor of charcoal the ninja grill airfryer comes out tasting like grill cooked steak to me on the grill setting and grill plate not airfry basket even has the meat thermometer you can insert to cook til your desired temp. no plastic smell not even the first use
Your the funnyest most honest guy on here thanks buddy.
“will i die from the poisonous japan fumes… of china” 😭🤣 dead asf
Ill stick to oven grilling on glass. And using my stainless steel pan
All I want is the perfect air fryer.
Air fryer conspiracies.
Even my Solostar juicer smells like burned plastic after a kilo of carrots. It's as expensive as Omega. The masticating screw is chewed up so I dring microplastic obviously. It's everywhere. Only glass is safe. Glass pot with glass lid in an oven. Most ceramic cookware isnt really ceramic. Cast iron may give you too much iron
I know why are the big boss things so ugly, the safest one is an eyesore
I had nooo freaking clue you did non camera stuff.
U didn’t even put seasoning in that steak IDK if I can trust you
maybe a thin silicone pad on the plastic?? yep still bad but maybe less?
I got the ninja foodi XL .... its huge and no teflon.. works great too I cook large amounts of food at a time
You could do standup! You're funny! ...ish 😋
Hi loved this review! Didn’t know glass ones existed. Just to let you know , I have clicked on all three links Amazon to glassfryers and they all linked into standard fryers!!?? Strange , very strange.
Here’s another rabbit hole, the highly colored plate you placed your steak on…high in lead.
I got the fritaire air fryer. Made of glass and self cleans
Slightly open a window on the opening side of the appartment to help the fan blow.
That plate might be leaking lead! (Sarcasm)
What about a microwave oven with air fryer function
looks like you could remove that plastic thing on the bottom and maybe stack some tiles or something under it assuming its going to be used in the same space.
Went down this rabbit hole with frying pans eventually settled on titanium, cause even stainless can leach high amounts of nickel.
How about cast iron? Is that safe?
@@NotAffiliated Yes but shouldn't really cook acidic foods in it like tomatoes, vinegar, lemon juice, soy sauce etc. Also weighs a ton and takes long to heat up but stil probably one of the best options out there regardless.
@@bipedal-ape-manOh good. I don't want to give up my cast iron.
@@NotAffiliated You have to watch for excess iron in your blood, it's highly oxidative and stuff.
Thank you for the suggestion
Didn't you use to have a stainless steel pressure cooker? That's a fast and safe way to cook meat.
Yea but who wants that texture all the time?
@@vegetablepolice True, mushy meat can get a bit boring. Frying in a steel or iron pan is a good alternative, though.
You can buy the stainless steel pot for the ninja.
That steak looks really good
Thanks for the great video. I’ve been wanting to buy an air fryer, but like you, I’m hesitant based on the plastics. Love your commentary 🎉
