An air fryer comprises a main body and a lid assembly. The lid assembly is removable from the main body for placement on a countertop, and comprises a hot air assembly, an outer lid shell covering the hot air assembly, and a support member downwardly extending from the outer lid shell. Upon placing the lid assembly on the countertop, the support member elevates the lid assembly so that the hot air assembly is elevated at a height from the countertop, thereby avoiding burns on the countertop. Upon removal of the lid assembly from the main body, the lid assembly can be supported to the countertop by using a support leg portion of the support member, allowing convenient placement of the lid assembly. The support leg portion elevates the hot air assembly at a predetermined height from the countertop thereby protecting the countertop from burns.
