No, you cannot use an air fryer on top of a stove. Air fryers are standalone kitchen appliances designed to cook food by circulating hot air around it, creating a crispy texture similar to deep-frying but with significantly less oil. They have their own built-in heating elements and fans to create the air circulation.

Stovetops, on the other hand, are used for traditional cooking methods such as boiling, frying, sautéing, and simmering, where the heat is directly applied to the cookware from a gas flame or electric heating element.

Using an air fryer on top of a stove can be dangerous and lead to damage to both the air fryer and the stove. Air fryers are not designed to handle direct heat from stovetops, and placing them on a hot stove could cause the appliance to melt, malfunction, or even catch fire.

If you want to use an air fryer, make sure to place it on a stable, heat-resistant surface in your kitchen, away from any open flames or other heat sources. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and safety guidelines to ensure proper and safe use of the appliance.
