Yes
That's why I never got into sous vide

I'm kinda glad I'm not the only one thinking about this kind of thing.
yeah. I'm always surprised this doesn't come up more often. Heat
+ plastic just doesn't seem like a good idea. I use silicone bags for some food storage but even those I probably wouldn't use with heat. I'm betting there will be a headline in a few years: "compounds in food-grade silicone are now tied to ...."
I'm interested in an airfryer but am concerned about teflon and whatever else is in those things.
Now that is something that I have looked into and you can find all-stainless models so there's no microplastics tornado covering your food. I would never use a plastic-bodied air fryer. The air temps in those are certainly worse than sous vide.
oh, thank you! we're going from a completely outdoor kitchen (propane camp stove) to a small building that we will have just plastered (and that has electricity!), and I'm not keen on splashing grease all over the new plaster. Airfryer seemed like a good option. Very glad to know that there are stainless steel options 🙏
