Many traditional air fryers use nonstick coatings made with chemicals such as PFAS (like PTFE/Teflon), which can release harmful fumes when overheated and may break down over time. Some low-quality models may also contain coatings with PFOA or BPA, materials linked to environmental and health concerns. While these chemicals help create slick, easy-clean surfaces, they can degrade under high temperatures—something air fryers frequently reach. This has led many health-conscious consumers to seek ceramic-coated or stainless steel, PFAS-free air fryer options as safer, non-toxic alternatives.

If you love the crunch of air-fried food but want to keep things clean and safe, you’re in the right place. I’ve rounded up my favorite non-toxic air fryers — ones made without harmful coatings or questionable materials — so you can cook delicious meals with peace of mind. Take a look around and find the perfect healthy upgrade for your kitchen!
