Is Corelle air fryer safe? Air fryers have been increasingly popular in recent years, and they function by blowing hot air around the food to create a crunchy, crispy coating. But, is it safe to use an air fryer? Is the food cooked in an air fryer safe and healthy for us?
We already know that frying foods at high heat causes cholesterol to oxidize. Heart disease and other modern chronic diseases are linked to cholesterol oxidation products.
It’s no surprise, then, that technology is considering ways to counteract the harmful aspects of fat-laden diets while maintaining the taste. This is why air fryers are becoming increasingly popular as a healthy alternative to traditional frying. If you’re wondering whether Corelle air fryers are safe, keep reading.
WHAT IS CORELLE MADE OF?
Corelle dinnerware is made of triple-layer tempered glass, which is composed of three layers of glass laminated together that thermally bond two clear “skin” layers of glass to a white or beige “core” layer. As a result, the dinnerware is lightweight, translucent, stackable, chip-resistant, non-toxic, and resistant to breaking and cracking.

IS CORELLE AIR FRYER SAFE
Corelle dinnerware isn’t air fryer safe because the heat intensity of an air fryer can cause it to explode, damage, or crack.
Corelle dinnerware sets should not be left in the air fryer for extended periods of time.
As a result, for your safety and health, we recommend that you use air fryer accessories designed specifically for this purpose.
WHAT IS AN AIR FRYER AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
The air fryer is a new type of kitchen cooking appliance. An Air fryer has a heating element just above the cooking chamber that radiates heat directly to the food from a close distance.
The radiation heat penetrates deep into the food surface, a large above the heater pulls the air upwards through the cooking chamber creating a strong vertical airflow while passing the heater, the air is loaded with heat energy, and the air is transported downwards through a double wall around the cooking chamber.
With a minimum loss of flow and heat energy, the air is guarded by a special sea-like air guide at the bottom that distributes the heat evenly and directs the airflow in a vertical direction.
The food itself helps to distribute the heat of the content of the basket. Only the bottom of the basket is open to the air so it has to pass over the food surface where it transfers the heat to the food.
The heat reaches all parts of the food even when the food is piled up. The combination of radiation from the top and convention from the bottom creates a heat transfer that is much higher than the convention oven.
Because the food is heated from both sides at the same time, there is no need to turn it during the cooking process. This cooking effect produces a result similar to that of a deep fryer, but without the excessive use of oil.
Cooking in an air fryer requires circulation to keep the heat inside; as the temperature rises, so does the internal pressure. It should be noted, however, that an air fryer has an exhaust system that regulates internal pressure.
The exhaust system uses a small amount of air to create a small under pressure, forcing steam and smoke to exit the cooking chamber only through the exhaust, where it is filtered before being released into the open air.
An excellent example of an air fryer is provided below:
