    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

But what's funny is we can get those brown or blackened food not only from air fryer but also other means of cooking. Even overly done bbq food can have those blackish substance on your foods. So that's why it is very unfair to say that air fryer produces cancer-inducing substance when any way of cooking can cause such chemical to be produced. So it's important to get our facts straight.

    Drinking more water, a lot more water for some of us, will probably be the most important thing you can do to get rid of Acrylamide. However, make sure you are drinking pure water; otherwise you may inadvertently increase your exposure. Taking herbs to improve kidney and liver detoxification may be helpful.

I'm considering buying my first air fryer and the reviews that I have read on most of them are people complaining about a burning plastic smell and that's one of the things that's been holding me back on buying one. I have been researching for a while and found that the Ninja af101 does not contain PFOA PTFE or BPA and it has a ceramic coating inside. But there is still quite a bit of reviews saying that it has a burning chemical smell. But most of the reviews on that same model say they don't have any kind of smell at all with theirs.Strange.

My last two being of the PowerXL brand. From WallMart. Like $70 bucks. The one I had like two years ago was stolen. In a home burglary. And the one I have now is PowerXL vortex model. 7qt( 7 quarts is the size) But I've honestly never experienced the burning plastic smell or flavor that's been mentioned here in this page. And I've used at least 5 different models over the last 6or so years.
      And actually if you don't wanna invest a bunch of money and just dip a toe into airfrying. $70 at WallMart. For the 5qt size. Or preferably. A little more for the 7qt size Will be a good idea. And they have a 3month return policy. If you find it too small. You can take it back.

      @@daisyblue7209 the smell or taste I'm kinda thinking people are getting. May be from. Something they have burned on the heating element. There is like a electric stove eye. Above where the basket goes in. And if there was a microwave safe bowl or something in there that touched or was too close to it. I reckon that could leave a lingering effect. And also it needs a clear air flow around it. So if it's in a cluttered space. Something could had sucked into it and be burning in the element causing a issue. But really. No one I know has ever mentioned such issue. So Im thinking those whom have had such issue. Had one of the aforementioned issues.

      It's a tricky question, while higher temperatures can be bad from a health POV, if the overall cooking time is short it can actually be better.
      For example, 180 d C at 20 minutes may be worse that 200 d C at 6 minutes, from an acrylamide POV.
      personally, go high and fast if you can, or go super low and slow.
