Air fryers & toaster ovens without nonstick baskets

We score the cavity and the primary cooking surface. If a coated bake pan can be skipped, the model may land at partial instead of fail.

On this page
How to read verdicts: passes metal/glass primary path (silicone seals OK if disclosed). partial usable if you skip a coated accessory, or plastic remains on lids. fails plastic or fluoropolymer/nonstick in the normal use path.

GE Digital Air Fry 8-in-1 Toaster Oven

PASSES

GE · Model G9OAAASSPSS · 4.3★ (645 ratings)

Why: Best Buy lists Non-Stick Interior: false. Included air-fry basket, bake rack, and crumb tray are metal accessories; bake pan is aluminum. Use basket/rack for air frying; skip any coated third-party pans. Strong mainstream pick.

Café Couture Toaster Oven with Air Fry

PARTIAL

Café (GE Appliances) · Model C9OAAAS2RS3 · 4.5★ (127 ratings)

Why: Cavity described as uncoated stainless; air-fry basket is nickel-plated steel mesh. Included baking/pizza pans are porcelain-enamel — skip those for a no-coating workflow. Best Buy sometimes labels Non-Stick Interior true because of the pans.

Cuisinart AirFryer Toaster Oven with Grill (TOA-70NAS)

PARTIAL

Cuisinart · Model TOA-70NAS

Why: Cuisinart’s TOA-70NAS page lists a stainless steel interior and no intentionally added PFAS; includes oven rack, baking pan, air-fry rack/basket, and dual-sided ceramic nonstick grill/griddle. Canadian manual notes an “easy clean” coated interior sides. Skip the ceramic grill plate. Basket substrate/coating still not named in the booklet — partial, verify carton.

Fritaire Fritaire Glass Bowl Air Fryer

Fritaire Glass Bowl Air Fryer

PARTIAL

Fritaire · Model Original 5 qt

Why: Borosilicate glass bowl with 304 stainless accessories is a strong food-contact story, but warranty is very short and owner reports include cracked glass and early failures. Materials pass; durability risk keeps it partial.

Breville Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro

Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro

FAILS

Breville · Model BOV900BSS

Why: Air-fry/dehydrate basket is stainless mesh (good), but Breville’s oven cavity uses a proprietary nonstick coating that is PFOA-free and not PTFE-free per consumer-support Q&A. Primary cavity coating fails our no-coating rule even if you use the mesh basket.

Cosori Iconic Smart Air Fryer 6.5-Qt

FAILS

Why: Stainless exterior marketing; cooking basket uses PFAS/PTFE-free ceramic nonstick coating on 304 stainless. Ceramic nonstick is still a cooking-surface coating — fails no-coating rule.

Instant Vortex Plus ClearCook Air Fryer

FAILS

Why: ClearCook glass window is for viewing; the basket/crisper are metal with PTFE-family nonstick coating (PFOA-free). Glass window ≠ glass cooking surface. Fails.

Ninja Crispi (and similar coated-basket air fryers)

FAILS

Ninja · Model Crispi / typical Ninja AF baskets

Why: Mainstream basket air fryers in this family rely on PTFE/PFOA-free or ceramic nonstick coatings on the food basket. That fails a no-coating / no-plastic-touching-food rule even when marketed as non-toxic.
