Fritaire Air Fryer: A Glass Bowl and Stainless Accessories
The Fritaire air fryer has a glass bowl. Fritaire’s page says the bowl is tempered glass and the extras, like the tumbling basket, are 304 stainless steel. But the page and the Amazon listing don’t match exactly, so we couldn’t confirm which unit the page describes.

The short answer
Fritaire’s page says “Bowl Material: Tempered glass”, “Accessories Material: 304 stainless steel” and “Food-Contact Coatings: None”, plus an inside part of “Food-grade PPS”. Those are Fritaire’s statements. The page says 9-in-1 and the Amazon listing says 9-in-1 Pro, so we couldn’t confirm they are the same. Ask Fritaire.
What's on this page
What is it made of?
From Fritaire’s product page:
- Bowl: “Tempered glass”.
- Accessories: 304 stainless steel. The rotisserie, tumbling basket, air stand and grabber are listed as “Non-Coated”.
- Coatings: “Food-Contact Coatings: None”.
- Inside part: “Food-grade PPS”, a plastic resin. The page doesn’t say where it sits.
These are Fritaire’s words, and we have no way to check them. The accessories sit in a glass bowl, so this isn’t a stainless drawer or oven basket.
The Amazon listing says “9-in-1 Pro”. The page says 9-in-1. So we couldn’t confirm the listing is the unit on the page. We list it as an option, not a recommendation.

An option, not a recommendation. Fritaire’s page lists the materials, but we couldn’t match this listing to that page.
Good for families who want a glass bowl, like a brand that lists its materials, and will check this listing matches the page.

What does the user guide say?
The guide we read describes a 5 quart model, so it may not be yours. It says to let the unit cool about 30 minutes before you handle it, and to wear oven mitts. It says nothing about breakage from sudden temperature changes. Ninja’s guide has a whole section on that for its glass. See is a glass air fryer safe?.
Is it right for me?
In its favor
- A glass bowl you can see through
- A page that lists the materials
- A cleaning cycle explained step by step
Against it
- We couldn’t match the listing to the page
- The page lists a plastic resin inside
- The top temperature in the guide is lower than the 450°F Ninja lists for the Crispi
It suits you if you want a glass bowl and will check with Fritaire that your unit matches the page. It doesn’t suit you if you want a metal drawer or oven basket.
What are the other choices?
Glass, known brand
Ninja Crispi
The food sits in a glass container; the plates and handles need a closer look.
Where we would start for glass, because we could read Ninja’s guide. We couldn’t confirm the plate’s coating.
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

Common questions
Is the Fritaire air fryer “non-toxic”?
We don’t use that word ourselves. The Amazon title says “Non Toxic”, and that is the seller’s wording. Fritaire’s page says there are no PTFE (Teflon), PFAS or BPA coatings on its food-contact surfaces. That is Fritaire’s statement, and it is narrower than that word.
Is Fritaire borosilicate or tempered glass?
Fritaire’s page says tempered. The user guide names no glass type. Ask Fritaire which glass your unit has.
How does the Fritaire self-cleaning work?
The guide says to pour 1 to 2 inches of water into the bowl, add a little mild dish soap, put the lid on and set it to 400°F. The guide also says to wash the bowl and accessories in hot soapy water, so the cycle doesn’t replace that.
