hi there. my partner recently bought a ninja air fryer secondhand that unfortunately has a layer of rust inside the cook pot and on the removable grill we couldn’t see in the pictures. any suggestions on what to use to clean it up? is it even safe to prepare food in?

if it’s relevant it’s one of the “single basket” models. hope this is ok to post, thanks all

A quick search suggests they're nonstick coated, meaning you're going to be ingesting any PTFE "forever chemicals" that flake off. I would not use it.

Eating PTFE flakes doesn't cause any harm. It's inert and just passes through you.
