Can You Put Glass or Ceramic Dishes in an Air Fryer?

We run no tests, so here is what the brands say.

What does each brand say?

• Pyrex: “NO”, because it counts an air fryer as “a direct heat source”. This is about Pyrex glass.
• Our Place (Wonder Oven): be careful with containers that aren't heat-proof metal or glass. Ceramic or glass dishes must be “oven safe to prevent cracking”.
• Cosori (TurboBlaze): “Always use heat-safe containers.” Be extremely careful with containers that aren't metal or glass.
• Breville (BOV900): be careful with dishes that aren't metal, and make sure they are “oven safe”.
• Cuisinart (TOA-70 Series): extreme care with containers that aren't metal or glass.
• Gourmia (GAF846): you can put “an oven-safe dish or pan in the basket”, for example for a cake or quiche.

None of these manuals names a dish brand or promises a dish will hold up. The air fryer brand speaks for the appliance, and the dish brand speaks for the dish. More on one of these manuals is in what Gourmia's manual says.

Why can the two disagree?

An air fryer manual can allow glass in general, while a dish brand rules out its own product. Pyrex also says not to use its glass in a toaster oven, and that direct heat “can damage the dish”. So the same answer applies to an oven-style air fryer.

We found no study on glass dishes in air fryers.

What should I check first?

1. The dish brand's instructions. Look for “air fryer” or “countertop oven”. If it says no, stop.
2. Your air fryer's manual. Check the safeguards and cooking tips.
3. The fit. Keep food and dish clear of the heating element. Cosori warns that heaped food may touch the coils and cause a fire hazard.
4. A metal pan. If your manual mentions one, it may suit you better. See metal in an air fryer.

Is a glass dish the same as a glass air fryer?

No. A few air fryers are built around a glass bowl, and the brand writes rules for that bowl. Those rules don't carry over to a dish from your cupboard.

Glass, known brand

Ninja Crispi

The food sits in a glass container; the plates and handles need a closer look.

If you want glass around the food, this model is built that way. We couldn't confirm what the plate is made of, so ask Ninja.

Good for families who would rather have glass than metal around the food and will look closely at the plate and handles.

Coating: We couldn’t confirm

• Ninja’s page lists “PFAS- & PTFE-free” under cooking surfaces
• SharkNinja says its glassware is “free from PTFE and PFAs”
• A “4-qt capacity container”, says Ninja

• An excerpt says the plates have a “nano-ceramic coating”; unconfirmed
• An excerpt says the handles are plastic; we couldn’t confirm it
