    Are you sure about the waterproofing? You can usually steam in an oven.

      Got an air fryer here with a steamer mode, so that definitely doesn’t have moisture-sensitive electronics inside the cooking part!

        Probably depends on how fancy the air fryer is.

        I’ve got a small, cheap air dryer. I think it was maybe $25 when I got it? It’s just got two settings - a knob to set the temperature and another knob to set a timer (analog timer that makes a ding noise when it’s done)

        Inside it’s just a heating element like the ones you’d see on an old-school stove top, and a big fan to blow the hot air downwards. I doubt there’s any electronics in it - it’s probably just basic electrics. I don’t think the heating element would like being splashed with a liquid.

      Yeah, its basically just a heating element with a fan, there should be nothing to break even if exposed to liquids.
