Big Boss 16-Quart Extra Large Glass Air Fryer (Oil-Less Fryer)

Important Note on Air Fryers and Air Fryer-Style Appliances

At this time, there are no air fryers on the market that are truly perfect from a low-tox standpoint. Most involve a mix of materials. When I review these products, I focus on whether food-contact surfaces are uncoated and avoid non-stick coatings that are very likely to be made with PFAS “forever chemicals” such as PTFE or Teflon.

This model falls into the “next best option” category due to its glass cooking bowl and lack of advertised non-stick coatings.

Product Description

This countertop air fryer uses a large glass bowl paired with a halogen convection heat system to cook food without added oil. The transparent bowl lets you see your food as it cooks, making it easier to monitor browning and doneness without opening the unit.

It includes multiple metal cooking racks that sit inside the glass bowl, allowing you to cook multiple dishes at once. The size works well for families or anyone preparing larger portions in a single batch.

What I Like

When choosing small kitchen appliances, I look for models that avoid non-stick coatings on food-contact surfaces, especially coatings commonly made with PFAS-based materials.

I like that the primary food-contact surface here is glass, which is inert and easy to clean.

The included cooking racks are metal rather than coated baskets, which helps reduce concerns around coating breakdown over time.

The ability to visually monitor food while it cooks is a significant advantage of glass-bowl air fryers.

The large capacity makes it practical for batch cooking, roasting vegetables, or preparing full meals without using a full-size oven.

Things to Keep in Mind

This product listing includes a California Proposition 65 warning related to acrylamide. This type of warning is commonly associated with high-heat cooking and browned foods rather than the materials of the appliance itself. This is shared for transparency, not alarm.
