Criteria
The crisper plates are aluminum without a food-grade qualification. Without knowing if the aluminum is treated, there is some risk of leaching with acidic foods.
The cooking baskets use PTFE (Teflon) nonstick coating. PTFE is a PFAS compound that can release toxic fumes when overheated or degraded.
The baskets are steel with PTFE coating. No food-grade qualification (304/316) confirmed.

Safety standards and ingredients related to Ninja Foodi DualZone Air Fryer DZ201
A low-temperature setting (typically 95-170F) on select air fryers that slowly removes moisture from food to create dried snacks like fruit chips, beef jerky, dried herbs, and yogurt drops. The dehydrator function lets families make preservative-free snacks at home with no added sugar or artificial ingredients.
A rotating spit or tumbling basket feature found primarily in oven-style air fryers that slowly turns food for even browning on all sides. The rotisserie function combines slow rotation with convection heating to cook whole chickens, roasts, and larger items with consistent results in one appliance.
