Disclaimer

Last updated: November 10, 2025

This page covers important information about what Recipelio does and doesn’t provide. I know disclaimers aren’t exciting reading, but this stuff actually matters for your safety and expectations.

General Information Purpose

Everything on Recipelio—recipes, cooking tips, product recommendations, techniques—is provided for informational and educational purposes only.

What this means in practice:

• I share what’s worked in my kitchen based on my testing and experience
• I’m not providing professional medical, nutritional, or health advice
• The content reflects my knowledge as a chef, not as a doctor or dietitian
• You use this information at your own discretion and risk

Think of Recipelio as: Your knowledgeable friend who loves air fryer cooking and wants to share what they’ve learned—not as a professional service provider or expert medical advisor.

Air Fryer & Cooking Specific Disclaimers

Recipe Results May Vary

Despite thorough testing, I can’t guarantee identical results for everyone because:

Equipment differences:

• Air fryer models vary in size, power, and heat distribution
• Even the same model can have unit-to-unit variations
• Older air fryers may cook differently than new ones
• Different brands have different features and quirks

Ingredient variations:

• Produce sizes and water content vary naturally
• Different brands of ingredients may behave differently
• Fresh vs. frozen ingredients cook differently
• Ingredient quality affects final results

Environmental factors:

• Altitude affects cooking times and temperatures
• Humidity impacts how food crisps
• Room temperature can affect starting points

Human factors:

• Interpretation of instructions varies
• Cooking experience levels differ
• Everyone’s definition of “golden brown” is slightly different

Bottom line: I test recipes thoroughly, but I can’t control all these variables in your kitchen. Results may differ from what I achieved.

Food Safety Responsibility

While I include food safety guidance based on USDA and FDA recommendations:

You are solely responsible for:

• Cooking foods to safe internal temperatures using a food thermometer
• Properly storing and handling raw and cooked foods
• Preventing cross-contamination in your kitchen
• Following safe food handling practices
• Being aware of food safety updates or recalls

I’m not liable for foodborne illness resulting from improper cooking, storage, or handling in your kitchen. Food safety is ultimately your responsibility.

Kitchen Safety & Equipment Use

Using an air fryer involves:

• High heat that can cause burns
• Hot oil or grease that may splatter
• Electrical equipment that requires proper use
• Moving parts (baskets) that get extremely hot

Your responsibility:

• Follow your air fryer manufacturer’s instructions
• Never leave cooking food unattended
• Keep air fryers away from water
• Use oven mitts when handling hot components
• Keep children and pets at a safe distance
• Ensure proper ventilation
• Regularly clean your air fryer to prevent fire hazards

I’m not responsible for injuries or damages resulting from improper air fryer use, equipment malfunction, or kitchen accidents.

Allergy & Dietary Warnings

Critical allergy information:

While I try to note common allergens, I cannot guarantee any recipe is safe for your specific allergies. Here’s why:

• Cross-contamination can occur during manufacturing of ingredients
• Ingredient formulations change without notice
• “May contain” warnings aren’t always visible
• Individual sensitivity levels vary dramatically
• Some allergens hide in unexpected ingredients

If you have food allergies:

• Always read all ingredient labels yourself
• Contact manufacturers if you’re uncertain
• Consult with your allergist before trying new recipes
• Be aware of cross-contamination risks in your own kitchen
• Never rely solely on recipe labels like “gluten-free” or “nut-free”

Dietary restriction disclaimers:

Recipes labeled as gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, low-carb, etc. reflect the ingredients I used, but:

• You must verify this matches your specific needs and definition
• Hidden ingredients may not be obvious
• Substitutions may affect dietary compliance
• Manufacturing processes may introduce unwanted ingredients

If you have celiac disease, severe allergies, or medical dietary restrictions, consult your healthcare provider before trying recipes.

Nutritional Information Accuracy

When provided, nutritional information is:

An estimate only based on:

• Ingredient databases which may contain errors
• Recipes as written without modifications
• Generic versions of branded ingredients
• Standard serving sizes as defined in the recipe

Not verified by:

• Registered dietitians
• Laboratory analysis
• Medical professionals

Subject to variation based on:

• Specific brands and products used
• Measurement accuracy
• Preparation methods
• Portion sizes

Do not use nutritional estimates for:

• Medical nutrition therapy
• Managing diabetes, kidney disease, or other conditions requiring precise nutrition data
• Dietary compliance without verification
• Professional or medical decision-making

If you require accurate nutritional information for medical reasons, consult with a registered dietitian or use laboratory-analyzed data.

No Professional Relationships Created

Not a Substitute for Professional Advice

Using Recipelio does not create any professional relationship between you and Lio Marin or Recipelio. I’m not your:

• Personal chef or cooking instructor
• Doctor, dietitian, or nutritionist
• Medical advisor or healthcare provider
• Food safety inspector or consultant
• Professional menu planner or meal prep service

The content is educational, meant to help you learn about air fryer cooking and make informed decisions. It’s not individualized professional advice tailored to your specific situation.

Medical & Health Conditions

If you have:

• Diabetes or blood sugar concerns
• Heart disease or high blood pressure
• Kidney disease or restrictions
• Food allergies or intolerances
• Digestive conditions
• Any medical condition affected by diet
• Are pregnant or breastfeeding

You must consult qualified healthcare professionals before making dietary changes based on Recipelio content.

I cannot and do not provide medical advice. Comments on health benefits or nutritional advantages are general information, not medical guidance for your specific situation.

Results & Success Not Guaranteed

Recipe Outcomes

While I test recipes thoroughly:

I cannot guarantee:

• Every recipe will turn out perfectly for you
• You’ll achieve the same results I did
• The recipe will meet your personal taste preferences
• The cooking time will be identical in your air fryer
• All substitutions will work equally well

Success depends on: Your skills, equipment, ingredients, and following instructions carefully.

Product Recommendations

When I recommend air fryer models or kitchen tools:

These are my opinions based on my experience and research, not absolute guarantees. Your experience may differ.

I’m not responsible if:

• A recommended product doesn’t work for you
• Product quality changes after my review
