To be clear I'm not asking whether air frying is healthier or not. I have some opinions on that. But that is a topic for another day. and Yes, I know the term 'Air Fryer' itself is contestable but that is not the point here.

After some research, I found out that the healthy option in Air Fryer is the one with Stainless Steel basket (instead of plastic/aluminum) and the inner coating with Ceramic non-stick coating (instead of Teflon etc). But not much options turn up in Amazon. Do we even have such models in India? and if you have an Air Fryer please share your experiences.

Even I am looking for one. From what I can understand, having ceramic increases the weight, which can cause the inner tray to let go in the future thus spillage and wastage.

I have this in mind, it has SS in the exterior.

You can use silicon baskets/steel plates/bowls in any air fryer.

Yes we at home are trying to not put any food directly on the basket itself while also using either silicon baskets if its something with gravy or slight curry, or disposable brown baking paper if it's something lighter.
 
Non-stick coatings makes cooking a breeze.

Teflon based can also be fine as PTFE-like materiariaps have melting point of aroung 300 degree Celsius which most air friers do not reach. Just make sure to not chip/break teflon coating surface.

Ceramic is a wide variety of materials some of which leech heavy metals like lead if chpped.
