Air Fryer Without Teflon: What the Brands Say About PTFE
Teflon is the brand name for PTFE, the slick nonstick coating. Some brands say their air fryers are made without it. We run no tests, so we report their words. Without PTFE doesn’t mean without a coating.

The short answer
Some brands say it, each in their own words. Our Place says the Wonder Oven’s inside and included inside accessories are made without PFAS “(including PTFE)”. Ninja lists “PFAS- & PTFE-free” for the Crispi’s cooking surfaces. These are the brands’ statements, and most describe a different coating, not a bare surface.
What's on this page
Least coating we found
Our Place Wonder Oven
A stainless oven with a chromed-steel basket and rack, plus one ceramic-coated pan.
Where we would start. Our Place names PTFE when it says what the inside and included inside accessories are made without. That is the brand’s statement, and the bake pan is still coated.
Good for families who want the least coating and don’t mind an oven shape or a coated bake pan they can leave out.
Coating: Has a coating
- The brand lists a stainless oven and a chromed-steel basket
- The brand’s FAQ says the inside is made without PFAS “(including PTFE)”
- The bake pan has a ceramic nonstick coating
- Chromed steel is plated, not stainless; the brand doesn’t say uncoated
- Accessories are not dishwasher safe; no steel wool

What word should I look for?
Brands rarely write “Teflon” in their papers. They write PTFE, or the long name, polytetrafluoroethylene. So a listing that avoids the word Teflon tells you very little.
PTFE is one of thousands of PFAS chemicals. A claim about one of them leaves the others open. If you want no coating at all, see air fryers without a nonstick coating.
Who says what about PTFE?
These are the brands’ words, not our findings.
| Model | What the brand says |
|---|---|
| Our Place Wonder Oven | Inside and included inside accessories made without PFAS “(including PTFE)” |
| Ninja Crispi* | “PFAS- & PTFE-free” under cooking surfaces |
| Cosori TurboBlaze* | The same model number is listed twice, once with PTFE and once without |
| Cosori Iconic | Its model number has no PTFE line (we think that number is the US Iconic) |
| Typhur Dome 2* | “PFAS-free nonstick ceramic”. The page doesn’t say PTFE |
| Breville BOV900* | Walls have a non-stick coating, not named |
Why can one model have two answers?
The answer can change with the date and the exact version.
- Ninja has one list for units made before 15 August 2024, which names PTFE, and another for later units, which doesn’t.
- Cosori’s sheet lists the TurboBlaze twice, once in a group with PTFE and once without. We don’t know which one a listing ships.
So ask for the exact version, and keep the brand’s answer.
“Without PTFE” also isn’t the same as uncoated. Most of these describe a different coating. We found no study showing ceramic is better or worse than PTFE.

What should I ask before I buy?
- Is PTFE on the list for my exact version?
- Which parts does the statement cover: basket, plate, walls, pans?
- If it isn’t PTFE, what is the coating?
The FDA says some PFAS are approved for nonstick cookware coatings, and that a very small amount can get into food. That page doesn’t cover fumes or damaged coatings.
For a drawer, put the version question to the brand first. For the bigger picture, see what “non-toxic” means on a label or do air fryers have Teflon?
Common questions
Which air fryers don’t have a Teflon coating?
We can only tell you what brands say. Our Place says the Wonder Oven’s inside and included inside accessories are made without PFAS “(including PTFE)”. Ninja lists “PFAS- & PTFE-free” under cooking surfaces for the Crispi. None of this is our own test.
Is there a stainless steel air fryer with no Teflon?
Stainless on the box usually describes the outside, so it doesn’t answer this. Our Place lists a stainless oven and names PTFE among what it says the inside is made without. On a drawer model, check the basket separately.
Does the Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro have PTFE?
We couldn’t confirm it either way. Breville’s manual says the walls “feature a non-stick coating” and doesn’t say what it is. Ask Breville which coating is on your model.
Is a ceramic air fryer “Teflon-free”?
Often that is what the brand says, so read the exact words for your exact unit. The Cosori TurboBlaze shows why. Its listing title and its manual say different things.
