GreenPan Air Fryer: Which Parts of the Bistro Are Coated?
The GreenPan Bistro 9-in-1 air fryer oven has “Stainless Steel” in its Amazon title, but GreenPan’s manual says the inside walls, baking pan, air fry basket and crumb tray are coated. Choose it if you like the look and want a brand that says so plainly.

The short answer
The GreenPan Bistro 9-in-1 is coated. Its manual says the inside walls, baking pan, air fry basket and crumb tray are coated, even though the Amazon title can be read as a stainless basket. The manual calls the coating “nontoxic nonstick” and doesn’t say what it is. The warranty is two years.
What's on this page
Which parts are coated?
GreenPan’s manual lists them plainly:
- Inside walls: “coated in a nontoxic nonstick”.
- Baking pan: coated the same way.
- Air fry basket: “The Air Fry Basket is coated”.
- Crumb tray: “coated in a healthy, nontoxic nonstick”.
“Nontoxic” and “healthy” are GreenPan’s words. We quote them because you will read them, and we don’t use them ourselves. The rack is listed as included, but we found no material for it. The Amazon title says “Stainless Steel Rack, and Basket”, and the manual doesn’t.
The manual doesn’t say what the coating is made of.
Stainless name, coated inside
GreenPan Bistro 9-in-1
“Stainless Steel” is in the name, but the manual says the walls, pan, basket and tray are coated.
A stainless-looking oven whose brand lists every coated part. Few brands are this direct.
Good for families who want a stainless-looking oven and like a brand that says plainly which parts are coated.
Coating: Has a coating
- The manual lists each coated part, which few brands do
- The manual says the basket, walls, pan and tray are coated
- The Amazon title can sound like a stainless basket; the manual says otherwise
- The manual pages we saw don’t say what the rack is

Is it right for me?
In its favor
- The manual lists four coated parts one by one
- A stainless look in the mid-range to premium price range
- The pan, rack and basket can go in the dishwasher, per the manual
Against it
- The title can be read as a stainless basket, and the manual says coated
- The coating isn’t named
- No material found for the rack
It suits you if you accept coated walls and a coated basket. It doesn’t suit you if you want bare metal around the food. See is there an all-stainless model?.
How do I look after it?
- The pan, rack and basket can go in the dishwasher, or be washed by hand.
- The crumb tray is “NOT dishwasher safe”.
- Use plastic, silicone or wooden tools to protect the coating.
- Never use steel wool inside.
The warranty is two years, for defects. Other GreenPan models, like the 7-quart Clear View, we couldn’t read about, so we say nothing on them.
What are the other choices?
- Our Place Wonder Oven. A chromed steel basket and rack, which is a metal plating and not stainless. One pan is coated.
- Breville BOV900. A large oven. Breville’s book says the walls have “a non-stick coating”.
- Cosori TurboBlaze. A drawer with a plain sentence on the basket. See Cosori’s papers.

Common questions
Is the GreenPan air fryer “non-toxic”?
We don’t use that word ourselves. GreenPan’s manual does: it says “a nontoxic nonstick for easy cleaning and healthy cooking”. Those are GreenPan’s words about its coating, and it doesn’t say what the coating is.
Is the GreenPan Bistro air fryer ceramic?
The manual pages we read say “nonstick”, not ceramic, for the oven’s parts. Ask GreenPan which coating is on your model.
Does the GreenPan Bistro have a stainless steel basket?
The manual says: “The Air Fry Basket is coated”. The Amazon title can be read as a stainless basket, but we go by the manual. It doesn’t say what metal is under the coating.
