- ARE AIR FRYERS SAFE TO USE?
IS COOKING SAFE? IS HEAT SAFE? IS DEHYDRATION SAFE? ARE OVENS SAFE? ARE FATS SAFE? If you think these questions are unnecessary, then you can safely answer the question at hand.
Air Fryers are really just small-sized convection ovens (or OTGs) with a fan to circulate hot air more efficiently than in a large oven. This allows you to dehydrate the surface of foods really quickly and with very little oil. As long as you don’t char your food till it’s visibly dark brown or black all over, air-fried food is perfectly safe! Convection baking has been used by human beings since the dawn of cooking, and air fryers (despite their name) use the exact same physics of hot air transferring heat to food.
And if you are someone looking to cut down calories from fat and also like crispy textures, this appliance is perfect for you. As always, focus on what you are ultimately eating rather than the appliance.
I was looking for an answer for many months now. Nothing was convincing. This is very clear. Thanks Krish.
I searched for the best explanation for over half a year,u made my day. I`ll buy it tomorrow following your advice
"You can buy a sportscar and still drive under the speed limit most of the time." Doesn't happen most of the time :)
Like buying an SUV and travelling solo most of the time 🤐
One buys a sportscar to drive fast most of the time. SMH
Krish, I have always loved the science of cooking, I bought masala lab on kindle and savoring it right now. Thanks for bringing it in one place Keep up the great effort. Will try to spread the word about your work around! 👍
Thank you!
This Sir right here is one of my fav food science experts on the internet.
Your channel deserves much higher views count. Oh well keep on fighting against darkness of ignorance
This channel versus other food channels is like Gyan channel versus Bhakti channels. Science versus Art. Chef Hemant
Truth be told, I am not also not spending too much effort on UA-cam. It's much lower effort to create for Instagram reels. These are just modified versions of those reels
Get you hands on the book Masala Lab by him. Never thought I could understand cooking but the book really makes me wanna try it and that really is something! Thank you for that Sir!
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! ❤️✌🏾
Absolutely!
You seem to be too rich.
@@live_long_and_prosper no my friend. I am just a commoner, live in Montréal. If définition of being rich is having kitchen appliances, then 🤓🤓🤓. I still am working and saving money for future.
And I have way less appliances in my kitchen than most North American households.
@@zukzworld Good. The only kitchen appliance I have is a hand blender. More is not needed. If I want to bake bread, cake, cinnamon rolls and stuff I use my hands to make the dough. Everything can be done by hand. people are just too lazy to do it.
@@live_long_and_prosper agreed 100%.
Such sensible advice! Your common sense is refreshing 👌
Please make a video on aluminium vessels...are they really as harmful
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
What a great video, straight to the point and clear!
Thanks for explaining it so well!
Are you saying that its bad if its used 3 times a day or only when the food is charred?
Only if the food is too charred
Get an air dryer that is 100% stainless steel, and don't cook at temperatures above 160-180 c (320-356 F), especially French fries.
you are just amazing.. straight to the point!
thank you!
Your videos are really helpful .
Thank you
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?
They wont
Thank you man. It's not easy to convince Indians 😂 you're doing God's work
Hehe
Thank youuuu
in california the warning says, it can cause cancer. Is it true and is it safe to buy even after?
Almost everything in California has a Prop 65 warning
What abt non sticking coating inside air fryers?
There are airfryers without teflon coating
@@Y-eo7like? Which brand do you recommend?
hi Mr. KrishAshok, Glad to see all your videos, thank you for wonderful content
Wanted to know Aluminum and Stainless steel cooker myth, for past many yrs Aluminum / Indolium cookers were used, but recently ppl say Stainless steel is good.. Need your video for the same, thanks in advance
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.
@@krishashok thankd
Jazak-Allah
Thanks 😊
Shut up
If Non coating then it will be safe
Can you make a video about cooking in brass ,bronze and eeyam(tin) vessels like the olden days?What are the benefits and risks involved?
No benefits!
@@krishashok Thanks
do what ur ancestors did bec ur body is suited for it
He says its SAFE to use...
But cannot rely on this one person saying anything....
I have read a research which states on deep frying potato (fries) acrylamide content is 10 units
Whereas when air fried it goes upto 1400 units and its carcinogenic....mind you😮
It is safe or not?
surprisingly you have less views inspite of interesting content and not boring short videos
What about using an airfryer paper??
Thank you sir...😊
Most welcome
I am confused between buying otg and airfryer. I plan to cook vegetables primarily like ladies finger and potato. Which would you recommend krish?
Don't think much, go for Geek Air O Cook
Is breathing is good for health???? 😂😂😂😂
No. While breathing, you may just inhale CO2. It would be very hazardous, may even lead to death.😂😂😂
Should we then use air fryer only below150 degrees to avoid these harmful byproducts?
It's alright to use higher temperatures over shorter amounts of time.
Instructions unclear I crashed my Ferrari
Is chicory good for health?
Not just hight temperature .... According to ayurveda too much air is drying .... Excess vata will cause imbalance ..... Arthritis, early ageing .... All things associated with ageing
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?
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.
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!!

@Varunj absolutely right
Sir comapred to otg which is better
Please tell where is the acrylamide coming from?
high temperature cooking of starchy foods. Typically deep frying or baking
I wonder if can we do sambar in air fayer
Seriously? Where do you all come from?
I love my frozen finger chips crisped in my Air Fryer. But not my egg plants for Baingan Bhartha.
Chef Hemant
You are great
how can one person be an expert on everything . please publish the sources or white papers used for your analysis/research and findings.
I am not an expert on everything. I just happen to have researched and written a book on the Science of Indian Cooking www.amazon.in/Masala-Lab-Science-Indian-Cooking/dp/0143451375/
@@krishashok , can u please share ur research sources / white papers or study group findings
@@kumartalele5757 this is UA-cam. Do your own research then you will have the sources you so desire. 😂
@@chanelle4286 so anyone can claim anything without any evidence 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆. Good luck to you.
Pls do a video, aluminum vs steel vs cast iron utensils.
His book has a nice illustrated explanation on this.
WHICH AIR FRYER IS IN THE THUMBNAIL!?! SMH
Easy to understand...LKG Thanks very helpful..
I hate hedges
Better to steam and eat ...😂😂😂 No need to eat fried foods
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?
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
punjabi comment
Actually @poonamabbi7448 you are right no need to buy airfryer he just giving savage reply and try to be cool. Deep fry once a month is far better

airfryer is just waste of money if you have a otg or convection. they spent crores in marketing this unlike otg or microwaves which are original inventions.
Yeahhhhh........ better read up on Acrylamide cancer before buying a air fryer ? You have been warn ⚠️ !
They are waste of money. Something for people who don't know what else to buy with all their money.
Kris you are giving Factually wrong informatinon in this vidio. It shows your poor understanding of the subject. Air frier is far more dangerous than you have tried to make out by skipping it's truly dangerous aspect
Do you have peer-reviewed evidence or should one just take your word over it?
@@krishashok epoxide formation by Oxygen absorption in unsaturated parts of fats is a well known and you have simply skipped this part
Thanks - such a great explaination...... 👍
