Sharing a roundup of the best nontoxic air fryers.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Hi friends! Happy Monday and happy St. Patrick\u2019s Day! What do you have going on? P has spring break, the girls have their usual activities, and we\u2019re headed to San Diego later this week. I.can\u2019t.wait.<\/p>\n

For today\u2019s post, I wanted to chat a bit about nontoxic air fryers and share the one I\u2019ve been using and loving for the past few months. Before I share some options, I wanted to tell you about our original air fryer that I got a few years ago.<\/p>\n

When I first got an air fryer, I was PUMPED. I knew it would be like the Instant Pot; something that intimidated me, but that I\u2019d end up using every day.<\/p>\n

Before using it for the first time, I read online that it was important to wash it with soap and water and let it run for a few hours to get rid of the chemical smell. That should have been a red flag, but I did it. I washed it well, and let it run for a few hours while we were home. Our house was immediately infused with a plastic smell, and I had to open the back door to air out our house. After a few hours, I made a sausage, potato, bell pepper, and onion situation. Everything cooked beautifully \u2014 it was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.<\/p>\n

We ate most of our meals, called it a night… and the girls and I were violently ill all night. I haven\u2019t been that sick since I was a kid\u2026 it was BAD. We thought it was the food, but looking back, it was definitely the air fryer.<\/p>\n

Since we thought it was just a bad night of food, I used it again a few weeks later, and everything was fine. I probably used it hundreds of times after that.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

(Rest in power)<\/p>\n

Every time I took it out, it crossed my mind that the nonstick coating probably wasn\u2019t the healthiest, but as someone who has to get food on the table quickly (like all moms), I was just like whatever. When I went through my big health journey, I made more changes around the house, and getting a new air fryer was one of the last things on the list.<\/p>\n

The best nontoxic air fryers<\/h2>\n

I looked at options online, and here are some of the best ones I found:<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Emeril Lagasse Extra Large French Door Air Fryer Toaster Oven Combo<\/a><\/h3>\n

This one is huge, has a stainless steel finish, and excellent reviews.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

This glass air fryer\u00a0<\/a><\/h3>\n

This one is also on the smaller size,<\/a> but has good reviews and more of the classic \u201cair fryer\u201d design with a large single handle.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Our Place Wonder Oven<\/a><\/h3>\n

This one<\/a> is the prettiest and has decent reviews. I\u2019ve heard that people have had difficulties with turning it off and adjusting the temperature. It\u2019s also a little bit on the smaller side.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Gourmia XL Digital Air Fryer Toaster Oven with Single-Pull French Doors<\/a><\/h3>\n

Here\u2019s what we ended up using, because the Pilot won it at the fighter group Christmas party. (PS the prizes at these things are ridiculous: Traeger grills, playstation, kindle, ipads, bluetooth speakers, tons of good stuff.)<\/p>\n

The verdict: I am obsessed with this thing. It\u2019s so much bigger than our old air fryer, cooked everything perfectly – salmon, chicken, potatoes, roasted veggies, etc – and NO plastic, no chemical coatings.<\/p>\n

Why you should avoid traditional nonstick coating?<\/h3>\n

Nonstick cookware, often coated with chemicals like perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), can pose significant health risks, particularly for hormone balance. These \u201cforever chemicals\u201d can leach into food, especially when the cookware is scratched or exposed to high heat.<\/p>\n

Research links PFAS exposure to endocrine disruption,<\/a> meaning they interfere with hormone regulation, potentially affecting thyroid function, metabolism, reproductive health, and even increasing the risk of certain cancers. These chemicals also accumulate in the body over time, making it crucial to opt for safer alternatives like stainless steel, cast iron, or ceramic-coated cookware to protect your health and hormone balance.<\/p>\n

So, tell me, friends: do you use an air fryer? What\u2019s your most-loved kitchen appliance?<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for cookware, I love Our Place<\/a> and Caraway.<\/a><\/p>\n
