I'm a Vegetarian[Indian] — looking for a truly non-toxic air fryer (glass, no coating) that ALSO cooks properly inside + outside — does this even exist under ₹8k?

I’m trying to buy an air fryer in India, but I’m very particular about health, materials, and clean cooking.

I’m pure vegetarian, so a lot of my use will be things like paneer, veggies, cutlets, snacks, etc. which means I need even cooking (inside + outside) — not just crispy outside and undercooked inside.

My requirements:

  • ❌ No PTFE / Teflon / non-stick coatings
  • ✅ Prefer glass bowl (or safest possible material)
  • ❌ No toxic fumes or questionable materials
  • ✅ Should cook food properly from inside AND outside
  • 💰 Budget: ideally under ₹8k (can stretch a bit if worth it)

What I’ve found so far:

  • Brands like Bosch / Havells / Morphy Richards → Good performance, but still non-stick coated baskets
  • Glass options like Libra or halogen ovens → Better materials, but people say:
    • uneven cooking
    • not crispy
    • weaker airflow

Questions for real users in India:

  1. Has anyone found a truly non-toxic (glass/stainless) option that actually cooks well inside + outside?
  2. Any hidden gems (even slightly above ₹8k) that are genuinely clean and perform well?

I’m okay sacrificing a little convenience, but not:
❌ safety
❌ or proper cooking quality

Would really appreciate honest Suggestions
