Scratched air fryer basket

[Pumpkin2901]

I put a quiche in the air fryer today, in it's foil tray. The sides have slightly scratched the air fryer basket and I'm wondering if it will be ok? It's a dual ninja. I'm very careful when cleaning it and using the right utensils.

I feel so stupid for not thinking about the foil tray damaging the sides. The scratches aren't that deep. It's just because I heard Teflon is dangerous once it's scratched. I think it's the same with non stick pans. I haven't had it for long and I'm kicking myself.

The bottom removable grill plate on mine has scratched coating, I’ve been hunting for a new one since you posted this. I am aware it shouldn’t be used, and I mostly cook on foil for ease of cleaning as I assumed food had to be on it for it to be an issue, but I don’t actually know tbh.

You can get replacement parts. I googled and the drawer you want is £19.99. I might have the wrong one but they have a list of items. I haven't done a link as a lot of people are wary of them.

Thank you! I also googled and found you can buy replacement drawers, but they're out of stock at the moment, typical! I'm on an email waiting list for when they come back in stock.

It's more like a scuff, not a deep scratch, I might have panicked and overreacted slightly. I hope it's still ok to use until I get a replacement drawer. 🤞 (I was worried about toxins in the food - don't know if that's a thing?!)

It's just a reminder to be really careful!
