Um, no oil in them. You use a little oil, yes, but not much.

There's no (or very little) oil when done.

right, so what do you do with that very little oil? it builds up over time of course. oil can’t really be disposed of anywhere safely

It's a simple matter of washing it with soap. It doesn't build up.

Keep in mind we're talking about (quite literally) a few drops at the bottom, even if you're making french fries.

For example, when making fries (say 3-4 medium sized potatoes), you cut them up, soak in really cold water for 30-45 min), and completely dry them. Then add about 1-1.5 tablespoons of oil to the cut up potatoes. Then air fry (shaking the basket every 5 min or so) for 18-20 min.

When making fried chicken drumsticks, you coat the chicken and add no oil.
