Among The Prohibited Items Are Plastics, Light Papers, Soft Cheeses, And Pasta With Liquid Filling, That Can Melt, Leak, Or Catch Fire

The Air Fryer has gained space in kitchens for its practicality and speed. But the use of the wrong materials can pose serious risks. From health to the operation of the fryer, everything can be affected by simple choices, such as the type of container used. In this article, we will show which items should be avoided in the Fryer, the dangers they pose, and what can be used safely on a daily basis.

Why Is It Important To Pay Attention To The Materials Used In The Air Fryer?

Being careful with the items that should be avoided in the Air Fryer is essential. There are four main reasons for this care.

1. Health Risks
Materials like plastic and thin papers can release toxic substances when heated. These residues can contaminate food and cause health problems.

2. Household Accidents
Papers improperly placed or loose aluminum can obstruct the circulation of hot air. This compromises the operation of the appliance and can even cause fires.

3. Damage To The Equipment
Some materials melt or burn when in contact with the high temperature of the Air Fryer. This can damage the heating element, dirty the basket, and harm the appliance.

4. Poor Cooking
The hot air needs to circulate well to cook evenly. Materials that obstruct this circulation leave parts of the food raw or too dry.

What Should Be Avoided In The Air Fryer

Even common kitchen items should not go inside the Air Fryer. Here are the main prohibited materials and their reasons.

Plastic
Never use plastics. They melt easily and release toxic substances. In addition to ruining the appliance, cleaning becomes difficult, and the food may be contaminated.

Styrofoam
Styrofoam is made of polystyrene, which melts and releases dangerous compounds when heated. It is one of the riskiest materials.

Common Glass
It can shatter with thermal shock. The ideal is to use only tempered glass, which is heat resistant.

Aluminum Foil
Not all brands allow its use. Even when permitted, care is needed: it should be used in small amounts and not cover the entire base of the basket. Blocking hot air harms cooking and can cause overheating.

Paper Towel
It catches fire easily. Even in small amounts, it poses a fire risk. It is not recommended under any circumstances.

Cardboard
Highly flammable, cardboard can cause flames inside the appliance. It also releases residues that contaminate food.

What Can Be Used Safely

Despite the restrictions, some materials are safe and recommended. They help maintain the good functioning of the Air Fryer and ensure the quality of the dishes.

Silicone Molds
They are ideal. They withstand heat well, prevent food from sticking, and distribute heat evenly.

Metal Molds Suitable For Oven
As long as they are appropriate for the size of the basket, they can be used without problems. They assist in preparing meats, pies, and pasta.

Parchment Paper With Holes
It can be used if it has holes that allow hot air to pass through. This maintains cooking efficiency.

Well-Positioned Aluminum Foil
In small amounts and correctly positioned, it can be used safely. Never cover the entire basket.

Oven-Resistant Glass
Tempered glass, also known as oven-resistant, is heat resistant. It can be used as long as it is not too cold before going into the Air Fryer, to avoid thermal shock.

Last Important Tip

To use the Air Fryer safely, it is ideal to always consult the manufacturer’s manual. Each model may have different recommendations regarding the use of certain materials and items that should be avoided in the Air Fryer. By following these guidelines, it is possible to enjoy the best of the appliance without risks to health or the functioning of the equipment.

The largest food company on the planet, JBS, has just opened a 4,000 square meter laboratory in Florianópolis to develop customized proteins that modulate muscle mass gain, immune response, and metabolic performance.
