Dr. Karan Raj advises TikTok users on proper air fryer maintenance and suggests alternatives to reduce toxic material concerns.

Dr. Karan Raj, a medical professional with an NHS background, has addressed concerns regarding air fryers on TikTok. He clarified that fears about toxic materials in air fryers are only valid if the non-stick coating becomes damaged. Dr. Raj advises users to clean air fryers carefully, avoiding abrasive materials, and suggests using wood or silicone utensils and liners to prevent damaging the non-stick coating. For those who wish to minimize risk, Dr. Raj also proposes switching to a ceramic or stainless-steel air fryer.
