Crispi 4-in-1 Glass Air Fryer

Mostly borosilicate glass and stainless with a PFAS-free, PTFE-free cooking surface; the plastic base and lids and the e-waste end of life hold it to a 3.

A pod-style air fryer that cooks directly in borosilicate glass containers, so the food-contact surface is glass rather than a coating. SharkNinja states the glass is free of PFAS, PTFE, and nonstick coatings.
