Fritaire Glass Bowl Air Fryer
Important Note on Air Fryers
At this time, there are no air fryer machines on the market that are truly perfect from a low-tox standpoint. Most include some combination of non-stick coatings, aluminum components, or mixed materials.
With that said, this model is one of the next best options currently available. The primary cooking bowl is glass, and the remaining food-contact components are stainless steel. The only parts made from aluminum are the optional rotisserie accessories. There are no non-stick coatings or PFAS-based surfaces involved in the main cooking system.
Product Description
This countertop air fryer uses a glass cooking bowl paired with a convection heat system, allowing you to see your food as it cooks while avoiding traditional non-stick air fryer baskets. It’s a solid option for anyone trying to reduce exposure to PFAS-based coatings while still enjoying the convenience of air frying.
The glass bowl serves as the primary cooking chamber and makes it easy to monitor doneness and clean thoroughly. It works well for everyday meals like roasted vegetables, reheated leftovers, and proteins cooked with circulating hot air rather than heavy oils.
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 “forever chemicals” such as PTFE or Teflon.
I like that the main food-contact surface here is glass rather than coated metal.
The remaining accessories used during standard cooking are stainless steel and uncoated.
Being able to visually monitor food while it cooks is especially helpful with air frying.
The design is straightforward and easy to clean, with fewer hidden areas where residue can build up.
Things to Keep in Mind
The rotisserie accessories are made from aluminum. These pieces are optional and not required for everyday use, but it’s worth noting if you prefer fully stainless food-contact materials.
This product carries a California Proposition 65 warning. As with many countertop appliances, this is typically associated with electrical components or certain metal parts rather than the cooked food itself. This is shared for transparency, not alarm.
Capacity is best suited for small-to-medium portions rather than large batch cooking.
