Do not add this product to the food to avoid damaging the deep fryer
The use of cooking sprays in air fryers can damage the appliance and reduce the quality of the food. Although such sprays are positioned as a healthy alternative to conventional oils, they contain an ingredient that can harm kitchen appliances.
OBOZ.UA tells what exactly it is about.
What harmful ingredient is contained in sprays?
Many cooking sprays contain lecithin, an emulsifier that helps to mix ingredients that do not mix well and improves the texture of food. However, this ingredient is dangerous for deep fryers. Lecithin gradually destroys the non-stick coating of the appliance, which can lead to the release of toxic substances into the food.
In addition, lecithin has a low smoke point, which makes it less stable at the high temperatures used in deep fryers. This leads to contamination of the basket and tray, as well as to a deterioration in the taste and appearance of the food.

What can I replace cooking spray with?
To avoid damaging your deep fryer, it's best to avoid sprays and use natural oils with a high smoke point. For example, avocado, canola, peanut, sesame, or sunflower oils are perfect for this purpose.
