While handy kitchen gadgets like air fryers can be convenient because of their portability that doesn’t mean you can just stash them away. Like many other common cooking appliances like an oven air fryers release air and steam while cooking. This is normal and can happen when working with greasy foods. Additionally air fryers use actual hot air to crisp up food so you have to be aware of cooking fumes.

Where to put an Airfryer (in your kitchen)
However even a little smoke can cause major problems as it can negatively impact your lung health in the long run if inhaled in excess. Since most of us cook every day it is best to keep some precautions in mind to avoid excessive inhalation of fumes. Furthermore smoke is not only hazardous to your health but it can also destroy your kitchen cabinets by causing the paint to bubble and crack.
To better protect yourself and your kitchen you can place your air fryer under a range hood to keep your space extra clean and safe. These hoods are designed to suck up smoke so they are literally made for this type of job. So the next time you decide to cook with your air fryer move it under your range hood first. Just be careful not to turn on your stove or you could burn the appliance itself — that would cause a whole host of other problems.
While placing your air fryer in the right spot can make cooking with it safer it’s always best to prevent your air fryer from smoking in the first place. To prevent this regular cleaning is a must. Burnt crumbs and oil stuck to this appliance will cause an air fryer to constantly smoke so avoid one of the biggest mistakes you can make with an air fryer and make the effort to clean it every time.
