Teflon doesn't begin to degrade until being heated to 500+ degrees. Most air fryers don't go over 425 for this reason(also most oils will smoke above that temp). Do be careful not to scratch it though, that part is true. Use non metal utensils to get the food out.
Teflon is on almost every single frying pan. Just don’t scratch your shit. Also, air fryers don’t get hot enough to degrade the chemicals. Yall are fine.
Don't post this without telling us the SPECIFIC ones that are safe. I've been online searching for 30 minutes and can't find a single one that doesn't have Teflon. HELP!
I just ordered a wide convection oven with stainless steel and no nonstick coating inside. You don’t need an air fryer as the ones that look like a toaster oven can leak oil from the food/meat that you put in their fryer basket (has holes all around the basket). The oil will get on the bottom heating elements and burn the chemicals that surround those elements. I’m still waiting for the item I ordered to arrive. Maybe I’ll create a video to review it if I like it.
Interesting, could you maybe cite a few of your favorite science articles, that supports these products are 100% safe & free from PFAS/forever chemicals(?)

This is actually completely safe. The teflon isn’t relatively dangerous unless at a high temperature. (536 F/280 C) and the highest temperature you can go in an air fryer is around 200 C. (392 F). So don’t worry. It’s completely safe.

I just have no clue anymore, what to eat, what to put on my body, what to wear, what to cook with etc. and the list goes on and on and on 💆🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️😭
Everything is bad for you, we have micro plastics in our blood, forever chemicals have existed for decades and are now in our food supply, water, ground, everywhere. The last think you should be worrying about is what this man says, we’re all gunna die anyways. Just eat a balanced diet of lean protein and veg, I air fry that stuff because like many I work and I don’t have time. Plus, stuff is way crispier and juicer in the fryer lol.
Teflon is non toxic. The FDA and EPA have both done studies on it. Even with the ingestion of the Teflon itself it's non toxic. It's an extremely neutral chemical, so it just passes straight through your digestion system. Even when it gets into blood, the chemical gets excreted by the kidneys into your pee. The reason this rumor exists is because of PFOA (increases risks of certain cancers and diseases), a chemical that was initially used in the manufacturing of Teflon, but has since been banned. Even so, in teflon cookware before the ban, it's in such a small amount that the risks are negligible. The concerns came from environmental exposure from other plastics.
@141.416 ironically aluminum may be more unsafe than teflon. there's some correlation, although no hard evidence yet, that aluminum cookware can increase your risk of alzheimers encephalopathy, breast cancer etc. Regardless, the risk factors are extremely small, just like teflon and both are safe to cook with if used properly. Listen to the science, not the random creators on RUclips who didn't do any research.
@@uuuhmmmmm Teflon is just another unfortunate facet of the anti-fat movement. It’s intended for dry cooking and since I got back to cooking with generous amounts of natural fat I prefer plain stainless steel, although I do use my small teflon skillet when I need to flip eggs or omelets.
I was curious what he would say. An air fryer is nothing more than a convection oven, and most foods you don’t need to go over 400 degrees anyway. He is an amazing fear monger.
How is his telling people about the dangers of an appliance fearmongering? If you don't care about healthy eating options, ignore it. No one is forcing you to watch these videos or take his advice.
@@zoomingby air fryers are NOT dangerous. His telling of “dangers” is, therefore, hype and exaggeration. I watch occasionally because I DO care about healthy eating options. And in this field, there are some good sources of information, and some terrible sources of information, and some sources (people) that give some good and some bad info. It’s a bad idea to leave your brain at the door and swallow everything one person says. As my comment said, I was curious what he would say. Air fryers are dangerous or not, depending on how they are used, which is true of almost any appliance you want to name. Even just a regular oven or pan can be “dangerous” to nutrition, if used certain ways. But Bobby made a blanket statement about them, which in my opinion IS fearmongering.
We’ve all been using Teflon cooking pots and pans forever! The ones to get rid of are the ones that we’ve scratched up already. Now we know better, we’re using silicone tongs or wooden utensils. That should have been the additional advice to give. Far cheaper to replace your fork, than your air fryer!
@@caroleceresexactly. That nonchalant "get rid of it" rubbed me the wrong way. Throw it in the magic landfill. Along with all that disposable income we're all rolling in.
@@SaturnaliaJones also because Teflon (something that air fryer doesn't even have) have been used so much that they are permanently set in rainwater, again the water falling from the sky already has those chemicals. He's lucky that his job benefits from being a fearmongerer
I rarely comment on misinformation but in this case I’ll make an exception, 1. It is from my understanding not Teflon itself that is dangerous but the chemicals PFOA PFOS and BPA that are toxic. You can have Teflon coating without these chemicals. 2. The chemicals in question namely the PFOA found in some Teflon coatings are only dangerous permanent chemicals if heated up to a certain temperature, air fryers can’t reach this temperature.(270 ℃) (518 F°) 3. These dangerous chemicals are practically completely banned in the EU and partially banned in the US. Please correct me if any of my information is wrong.
thats why air fryers have a max temp they will allow you to go to. to prevent the non stick coating from evaporating off onto your food and the air. non stick coatings are safe up to 500F/260C, and most air fryers have a limit of 400F/200C.
The Teflon-poison-vapors myth was debunked many years ago. You have to get it to 570 degrees Fahrenheit before it emits any vapors. This post is sensationalistic click bait. Move on.
@@Canis_Vulpes sure, but unless someone lives off the grid and produces their own food, they aren't going to be free from pollutants. Oil frying also produces acrylamide btw. It isn't practical to live a completely free of exposure to chemicals and such, life
I cannot believe I’m seeing what I’m reading here. Y’all. Regardless of whatever ideology you hold dear, this person in front of you on this short is speaking truth about Teflon, lmao - 100% steel or iron cookware is absolutely the safest bc it is made with essentially only carbon and other basic elements. Yes, everything in the modern world will give you cancer sadly and we all die, but why add to it little by little when you can prevent the obvious ones?? Why not fight to extend our individual lives just a little with some minor preventative measures and maybe a bit of educated lifestyle choices?! Supplementation and exercise help, too, as does lowering stress to combat free-radicals in the body. Americas food system is designed to poison you; don’t let the bastards grind ya down.
The forever chemicals dont necessarily do any damage to you. Unsubstantiated claims and paranoia. Missing out on so much living such a restricted lifestyle. Moderation is key.
Yes!!! Thank you! Finally an intelligent person. This dude loves to create unnecessary fear of everything I feel sorry for people who blindly believe everything this guy says.
honestly its not fear its more for the consumer to realize that the supplier is knowingly creating products that are harmful when there have been natural alternatives and safe chemicals since the beginning of time. Casted iron has been used for decades a naturap element from the earth that produces quality food and high life expectency unlike most teflon and other cheaply made commerical kitchen items these days. less consumption occurs with higher grades items
Unbelievable stupid comment....shall we just serve you chemicals for your food??? NO AMOUNT OF CHEMICALS is OK!!! Omg...chemicals in moderation....a whole new level of not using your brain. Time to wake up to the fact that the chemicals you eagerly want to ingest keep the pharma and medical system in business and profiting off Your agreeing to put poison in your body WILLINGLY!!
I'm not a fan of Teflon and Use all Stainless Steel aside from Air Fryer and TRUST ME... That Thought Has Crossed My mind a MILLION TIMES... I just didn't know nor. PAYED Attention there's stainless Steel Air fryers. Change that Appliance IMMEDIATELY. Thanks 👍
Most commercial products these days aren’t good for you in some way, research everything that you buy so that you end up with quality products that you can feel confident in. There are so many alternatives, stainless steel, glass, ceramic internals
I know everyone says Teflon doesn’t reach a temperature to become hazardous but every non stick appliance I have ever owned has reeked of chemicals and the smell never usually completely dissipates with use. I know the science says it’s safe but they genuinely smell toxic, and why would you risk it when there are so many safe alternatives that if used correctly can have a non stick effect and easy to clean with a little soak
I think my air fryer gas Teflon, i think i read i had to be careful not to use anything that will strip the non stick coating, and yes there is a chemical smell or something. Wasn't my idea to buy the thing, it was a gift.⚰️⚰️
It's people like you who allow manufacturers to continue making things that kill us. We all die some day but suffering before death because of some illnesses, is no joke.
I just looked up Teflon and it can cause a number of things including cancer. You’ll only live comfortably until the cancer or other health complications come up. That won’t be a comfortable death for you or any of your loved ones
I just don’t even care anymore. I got one of these a few months ago and it’s coated in teflon. It makes my life easier. I’m 50, if it makes me sick then I’m just escaping this hellhole world faster 😅
Interesting, all I did was listen to scientific data/advice & removed toxic foods & products from my life, but hey, if you like holes in the ground & eating you some squeaky clean bugs, by all means, you do you
U know when they use to say back in the day, "take what u can from info given to u.....if u cant get anything from it, go to something else".... Alot of the stuff Bobby says is good info. Some stuff, not so much. Not to rain on his or anyone else's parades.....but he is a well known youtuber/influencer. This is his livelyhood💰💵. Im 53 and grew up on alot of stuff he claims are toxic. Im still here and blessed lolz. Seeing many youtubers making videos everyday like their lives depend on it. Not knocking their hustle.....but hunni inflation is out in these economy streets.😌
You're absolutely right. I'm 52 and I know where you're coming from.We grew up when things were starting to change for the worst in regards to food,sodas,ect.I like Bobby,but he never explained the airfryers to buy.What was the point??
I remember when this channel was all about healthier alternatives and recipes for those alternatives. Now it's just fear mongering. Whatever it takes for view i guess
I use parchment paper and my food never touches the teflon sides. Plus parchment paper makes easy cleaning and is fairly chrap, too. So every man and woman should use this friendly tip. Then you can use any brand of air fryer that fits your budget!!!
I personally looked into this and the comments saying the air fryer doesn’t get hot enough to release those chemicals are right. Im questioning your videos heavily now because 1). It’s hard to find a stainless steel air fryer 2). Most aren’t pocket friendly. 3). You are usually recommending something more on the expensive side. We are in a Recession, where is the information that’s gonna help our pockets and our bodies.
glad ur eyes have been open bestie. look at all the research he “cites” in his videos. almost all of it requires him to realllyyyy stretch the conclusions of the studies so that he’s not technically wrong, but functionally is. he’s not a health expert or a researcher or a doctor, he’s a salesman
He is not lying. I couldn’t get pass the strong chemical smell with Teflon air fryer. Everyone said to let it burn off for a while and I tried that several times and still got the same smell. I am team stainless steel! I love it!
This guy is why we can't have nice things. BTW, to anyone dumb enough to not realize this guy is full of it just from listening to him, Air Fryers don't get hot enough to cause issues with the teflon.
But there are so many other materials you can cook with so why wouldn’t you? Problem is folk just don’t like finding out they’ve been totally clueless about something they were sold as ‘better’ lol.
Oh please... People bitching about teflon not being healthy. Look at all the crao they put in our foods and our water. The coating in a airfryer is the least of my worries.
@@shalinishah3757 Imagine getting aggressive because someone said something that didn't fall in line with what your idol said. I am sorry that independence is such a annoyance to you. Not everyone likes being a follower. Welcome to life.
Teflon breaks apart itself naturally through repeated heating up releases it into air, the teflon is produced in a factory which is most likely exposing workers and releasing the chemicals into the water and environment, but yea everything is about you so you can make some fries in 10 mins… yawn. Guess what? When you buy things with teflon, you are sending a message to the companies that make them: yes we want chemicals that offer a non-stick coating….
I (and others) have posted that. This guy is running a business selling 500 dollar cook ware. He's using the store as a prop. I'd ban the guy. With AI and facial recognition someday he isn't going to be able to do this from a store.
If it was up to Bobby, we wouldn't eat anything or use anything! One ingredient is inflammatory, DO NOT EAT IT. Throw every airfryer away because they all use the same coating that every chefs egg pan has been made of for decades lol. So don't eat out and don't do anything. Just sit at home and wither away.
There's risk once it gets scratched, peels away due to age, or used in very high temp... But if you care for it properly, it's safe. I cook eggs almost daily in a teflon pan... On the the hand, air fryer seems to have reduced coating only after a few months, so I cook there using unbleached parchment paper, paper plates, or ceramic plates, depending on heat/duration...
Teflon is only really dangerous if you own birds. The fumes that come off Teflon when it overheats is mildly unpleasant to us, but super mega deadly to all species of bird. One mishap with an empty pan and it’s curtains, so I stay as far away as possible.
And that ladies and gentlemen is not a man. Probably don’t even grill or even mows own lawn and wonders why vehicle won’t start even though gas hand is on empty or electric
He never said to stop using an air fryer, he just said to get one that isn’t coated with non-stick chemicals. It’s almost like you don’t know how to listen.
One Huge Tip (I read it from a man who works at a factory that makes the coating): If you have an air fryer, the erosion of that coating happens due to chemicals in spray oils. To not erode the tray coating, buy an oil spritz bottle, fill it manually with your oil of choice. That is for folks that are going to use air fryers anyway.
"If you go outside and breath air, it's very toxic. I highly recommend wearing a hazmat suit for the rest of your life"

The last think you should be worrying about is what this man says, we’re all gunna die anyways. Just eat a balanced diet of lean protein and veg, I air fry that stuff because like many I work and I don’t have time. Plus, stuff is way crispier and juicer in the fryer lol.
Lean protein is disgusting. Give me some fatty meats !

I love these RUclips shorts. Just some guy telling me not to eat anything or use anything.
In a shop that sells the product, slating the product, not purchasing the product and obviously not paying the shop so he can film in there.
i love fear mongering
Darn, dude. So I guess the chipped, crumbling teflon pans my family used for my entire childhood got me messed up already.
My sister loves those pans. I refuse to eat her food 🤣
Bro this is exactly what i first thought of. My parents had the same chipped, cracked & burnt teflon pans..
Teflon is non toxic. The FDA and EPA have both done studies on it. Even with the ingestion of the Teflon itself it's non toxic. It's an extremely neutral chemical, so it just passes straight through your digestion system. Even when it gets into blood, the chemical gets excreted by the kidneys into your pee. The reason this rumor exists is because of PFOA (increases risks of certain cancers and diseases), a chemical that was initially used in the manufacturing of Teflon, but has since been banned. Even so, in teflon cookware before the ban, it's in such a small amount that the risks are negligible. The concerns came from environmental exposure from other plastics.
@141.416 ironically aluminum may be more unsafe than teflon. there's some correlation, although no hard evidence yet, that aluminum cookware can increase your risk of alzheimers encephalopathy, breast cancer etc. Regardless, the risk factors are extremely small, just like teflon and both are safe to cook with if used properly. Listen to the science, not the random creators on RUclips who didn't do any research.
@@uuuhmmmmm Teflon is just another unfortunate facet of the anti-fat movement. It’s intended for dry cooking and since I got back to cooking with generous amounts of natural fat I prefer plain stainless steel, although I do use my small teflon skillet when I need to flip eggs or omelets.
I was curious what he would say. An air fryer is nothing more than a convection oven, and most foods you don’t need to go over 400 degrees anyway. He is an amazing fear monger.
How is his telling people about the dangers of an appliance fearmongering? If you don't care about healthy eating options, ignore it. No one is forcing you to watch these videos or take his advice.
@@zoomingby air fryers are NOT dangerous. His telling of “dangers” is, therefore, hype and exaggeration. I watch occasionally because I DO care about healthy eating options. And in this field, there are some good sources of information, and some terrible sources of information, and some sources (people) that give some good and some bad info. It’s a bad idea to leave your brain at the door and swallow everything one person says. As my comment said, I was curious what he would say.
Air fryers are dangerous or not, depending on how they are used, which is true of almost any appliance you want to name. Even just a regular oven or pan can be “dangerous” to nutrition, if used certain ways. But Bobby made a blanket statement about them, which in my opinion IS fearmongering.
We’ve all been using Teflon cooking pots and pans forever! The ones to get rid of are the ones that we’ve scratched up already.
Now we know better, we’re using silicone tongs or wooden utensils. That should have been the additional advice to give. Far cheaper to replace your fork, than your air fryer!
@@caroleceresexactly. That nonchalant "get rid of it" rubbed me the wrong way. Throw it in the magic landfill. Along with all that disposable income we're all rolling in.
@@SaturnaliaJones also because Teflon (something that air fryer doesn't even have) have been used so much that they are permanently set in rainwater, again the water falling from the sky already has those chemicals.
He's lucky that his job benefits from being a fearmongerer
Bobby… just stop, you contradict half the things you say
I rarely comment on misinformation but in this case I’ll make an exception,
1. It is from my understanding not Teflon itself that is dangerous but the chemicals PFOA PFOS and BPA that are toxic. You can have Teflon coating without these chemicals.
2. The chemicals in question namely the PFOA found in some Teflon coatings are only dangerous permanent chemicals if heated up to a certain temperature, air fryers can’t reach this temperature.(270 ℃) (518 F°)
3. These dangerous chemicals are practically completely banned in the EU and partially banned in the US.
Please correct me if any of my information is wrong.
thats why air fryers have a max temp they will allow you to go to. to prevent the non stick coating from evaporating off onto your food and the air. non stick coatings are safe up to 500F/260C, and most air fryers have a limit of 400F/200C.
Exactly
Ok. Thanks.
Thank you for the peace of mind 😂
exactly, and i think it’s very easy to not scratch your air fryer when you just use plastic utensils
Imagine living in America and worrying about Teflon 😂
😂😂😂
Best comment🎉🎉
He's not even right, that is not Teflon, it's a different non stick coating, he is just using the name Teflon to scare people !
These chemicals u can understand more watching the movie DARK WATER true store n sad
The Teflon-poison-vapors myth was debunked many years ago. You have to get it to 570 degrees Fahrenheit before it emits any vapors. This post is sensationalistic click bait. Move on.
Always use wood utensils when cooking on teflon. Problem solved.
Cellphones anyone. I've heard that they will/can cause cancer as well.
I hate fear tactics. Literally everything is going to kill you, yet we still somehow managed to live to old age.

So tell us what’s true ma’am
Some hope for humanity restored
Because y’all watched another video on this guy y’all really don’t even know if this guy is lying or not
I cannot believe I’m seeing what I’m reading here. Y’all. Regardless of whatever ideology you hold dear, this person in front of you on this short is speaking truth about Teflon, lmao - 100% steel or iron cookware is absolutely the safest bc it is made with essentially only carbon and other basic elements.
Yes, everything in the modern world will give you cancer sadly and we all die, but why add to it little by little when you can prevent the obvious ones?? Why not fight to extend our individual lives just a little with some minor preventative measures and maybe a bit of educated lifestyle choices?! Supplementation and exercise help, too, as does lowering stress to combat free-radicals in the body.
Americas food system is designed to poison you; don’t let the bastards grind ya down.

Yes!!! Thank you! Finally an intelligent person. This dude loves to create unnecessary fear of everything I feel sorry for people who blindly believe everything this guy says.
This guy is a total clown. I’m glad to see people starting to realize it in the comment section
honestly its not fear its more for the consumer to realize that the supplier is knowingly creating products that are harmful when there have been natural alternatives and safe chemicals since the beginning of time. Casted iron has been used for decades a naturap element from the earth that produces quality food and high life expectency unlike most teflon and other cheaply made commerical kitchen items these days. less consumption occurs with higher grades items
Unbelievable stupid comment....shall we just serve you chemicals for your food??? NO AMOUNT OF CHEMICALS is OK!!! Omg...chemicals in moderation....a whole new level of not using your brain.
Time to wake up to the fact that the chemicals you eagerly want to ingest keep the pharma and medical system in business and profiting off Your agreeing to put poison in your body WILLINGLY!!
Bottled water is dangerous too 😂
yes, it is..if has high content of sediments and if the bottle is made from a bad plastic
I'm not a fan of Teflon and Use all Stainless Steel aside from Air Fryer and TRUST ME... That Thought Has Crossed My mind a MILLION TIMES... I just didn't know nor. PAYED Attention there's stainless Steel Air fryers. Change that Appliance IMMEDIATELY. Thanks 👍
Exactly, why risk it, especially given how birth defects & premauter death by cancer are already high enough :'(
Man now even air fryers are toxic ...damn maybe i should use clay pots 💀
Chill man they don't go over like 425. Teflon will not break down below like 500. Just don't scratch the surface any they're fine.
Most commercial products these days aren’t good for you in some way, research everything that you buy so that you end up with quality products that you can feel confident in.
There are so many alternatives, stainless steel, glass, ceramic internals
I know everyone says Teflon doesn’t reach a temperature to become hazardous but every non stick appliance I have ever owned has reeked of chemicals and the smell never usually completely dissipates with use. I know the science says it’s safe but they genuinely smell toxic, and why would you risk it when there are so many safe alternatives that if used correctly can have a non stick effect and easy to clean with a little soak
lol
I think my air fryer gas Teflon, i think i read i had to be careful not to use anything that will strip the non stick coating, and yes there is a chemical smell or something. Wasn't my idea to buy the thing, it was a gift.⚰️⚰️
The bottomline is we will die one day. So, I choose to die comfotably with my airfrier. Because it's so supportive to my laziness.
😄😄😄
😂😂😂
It's people like you who allow manufacturers to continue making things that kill us. We all die some day but suffering before death because of some illnesses, is no joke.
OMG I love that comment!
I just looked up Teflon and it can cause a number of things including cancer. You’ll only live comfortably until the cancer or other health complications come up. That won’t be a comfortable death for you or any of your loved ones

U know when they use to say back in the day, "take what u can from info given to u.....if u cant get anything from it, go to something else".... Alot of the stuff Bobby says is good info.

I use parchment paper and my food never touches the teflon sides. Plus parchment paper makes easy cleaning and is fairly chrap, too.
So every man and woman should use this friendly tip. Then you can use any brand of air fryer that fits your budget!!!
damn imma try this now
I do this too.
Yes I use parchment paper. I buy a few rolls at a time at DT.
Good idea. Thanks
Careful you might attract the people who are gonna say it's paper impregnated with silicone and something something plastic toxic something something
I personally looked into this and the comments saying the air fryer doesn’t get hot enough to release those chemicals are right. Im questioning your videos heavily now because 1). It’s hard to find a stainless steel air fryer 2). Most aren’t pocket friendly. 3). You are usually recommending something more on the expensive side. We are in a Recession, where is the information that’s gonna help our pockets and our bodies.
glad ur eyes have been open bestie. look at all the research he “cites” in his videos. almost all of it requires him to realllyyyy stretch the conclusions of the studies so that he’s not technically wrong, but functionally is.

I actually like forever chemicals. They sound romantic. ❤
Bobby's the kind of guy that reads the headline of a story and stops there. Air Fryers don't get hot enough to break down the Teflon. 🙄
Teflon breaks apart itself naturally through repeated heating up releases it into air, the teflon is produced in a factory which is most likely exposing workers and releasing the chemicals into the water and environment, but yea everything is about you so you can make some fries in 10 mins… yawn. Guess what? When you buy things with teflon, you are sending a message to the companies that make them: yes we want chemicals that offer a non-stick coating….

There is no PFOA in the final Teflon product, so there is no risk that it will cause cancer in those who use Teflon cookware
There's risk once it gets scratched, peels away due to age, or used in very high temp... But if you care for it properly, it's safe. I cook eggs almost daily in a teflon pan... On the the hand, air fryer seems to have reduced coating only after a few months, so I cook there using unbleached parchment paper, paper plates, or ceramic plates, depending on heat/duration...
Wow thanks
Teflon is only really dangerous if you own birds. The fumes that come off Teflon when it overheats is mildly unpleasant to us, but super mega deadly to all species of bird. One mishap with an empty pan and it’s curtains, so I stay as far away as possible.

One Huge Tip (I read it from a man who works at a factory that makes the coating): If you have an air fryer, the erosion of that coating happens due to chemicals in spray oils.
To not erode the tray coating, buy an oil spritz bottle, fill it manually with your oil of choice.
That is for folks that are going to use air fryers anyway.
