Is There an All Stainless Steel Air Fryer? What We Could and Couldn't Confirm
We couldn't confirm an all stainless steel air fryer. No brand we read says its basket is plain stainless steel with no coating. The closest on paper is the Our Place Wonder Oven, and even there the basket is chromed steel and one pan has a coating.

The short answer
We couldn't confirm a 100% stainless steel air fryer. Of the 17 we looked at, none has a brand saying so. Nine name a coating, and for eight we couldn't find out. Listings that claim a stainless basket or a full metal pot have no brand document behind them. If you find one, send it to us.
What's on this page
Why can't we find one?
To be all stainless, every part that touches food would need to be stainless steel with no coating, and the brand would need to say so. We didn't find a brand that does. A manual that says nothing about a coating doesn't settle it either.
Several brands say the opposite for their own models:
- Breville BOV900: “The walls on the inside of the oven feature a non-stick coating for easy cleaning.”
- GreenPan Bistro 9-in-1: the manual says the inside walls, pan, basket and crumb tray are coated.
- Cosori Iconic: the manual warns of “damage to the coating” on the basket and plate.
- Instant Vortex Plus 6 Qt: “The Cooking Tray has non-stick coating.”
- Cuisinart TOA-70: a booklet for the series says “The sides of the oven are coated.”
The material table has every model.
What comes closest?
Least coating we found
Our Place Wonder Oven
A stainless oven with a chromed-steel basket and rack, plus one ceramic-coated pan.
The closest on paper among brands that list their materials. It isn't all stainless: the basket and rack are chromed steel, and the bake pan has a coating.
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

Where this comes from
- 1Our Place, Wonder Oven product page. company website, checked November 2, 2026.
- 2Our Place, Wonder Oven user manual (silent on materials; copy hosted by QVC). manual, checked November 2, 2026.
Our Place's FAQ says the inside and the included inside accessories are made without PFAS “(including PTFE)”. That's Our Place's statement, not ours.
Against it: it's an oven, not a drawer. The basket is chromed steel, not stainless, and the page doesn't say it has no coating. You can leave the coated pan in the cupboard. See the Wonder Oven page.

What about the other listings?
- Naples 8.4 Qt: the Amazon title says “Large Stainless Steel Basket”. We found no brand document.
- A 6 Qt with no brand named: the title says “Full Metal Inner Pot”. Nothing backs that up.
- NutriChef 5.8 Qt: a see-through basket. The brand's page lists “Stainless Steel, ABS & PP”, so it isn't all metal.
For the inside walls, see stainless steel interiors. For plastic, see air fryers without plastic.
Does “metal” mean stainless?
No. Cosori's TurboBlaze manual says: “The basket and crisper plate are made of aluminum metal with nonstick coating.” Typhur lists an aluminum alloy basket with a ceramic coating. Both say so plainly.

Common questions
Is there a 100 percent stainless steel air fryer?
We couldn't confirm one. No brand manual or web page we read says every part that touches food is stainless steel with no coating. If you have one that does, send it through the imprint page and we'll read it.
What is the closest thing to an all-metal air fryer?
On paper, the Our Place Wonder Oven. Its materials list gives the oven as stainless steel and the basket and rack as chromed steel, which is not stainless. The bake pan has a “nonstick ceramic coating”.
Is a metal air fryer the same as a stainless steel one?
No. Metal can mean aluminum. Cosori's TurboBlaze manual says the basket and plate are aluminum with nonstick coating. Ask which metal, and whether anything is coated on top.
Does a stainless steel insert make my air fryer all stainless?
No. An insert replaces one part and leaves the rest as it was. No brand we read approves third-party inserts, so check your manual first.
