Q34: Does the Mijia Smart Steam Air Fryer 7L produce carcinogens when cooking food?
A: The Mijia Smart Steam Air Fryer 7L is made of food-grade and RoHS-compliant materials, and it produces no harmful substances. However, some ingredients can produce acrylamide when heated at high temperatures, and acrylamide is a carcinogen.
Note:
Among common foods, French fries have one of the highest acrylamide contents.
