The short answer
Of 17 air fryers, nine have a coating that the brand itself names. For eight, we couldn't find out. No brand says its basket is plain stainless steel with no coating. “Stainless” in a name usually describes the outside, so look at the basket and the inside walls on their own. Find your model below, or use the filter.
What's on this page
What do the labels mean?
- Brand names a coating: a manual or brand page we read names a coating on at least one part. That's 9 of 17.
- Couldn't find out: we found nothing that settles it. That's 8 of 17. It doesn't mean there's a coating, and it doesn't mean there isn't.
We don't test anything ourselves. The rules are on how we compare.
Where to look on an air fryer
- 1Outside. This is usually what “stainless” means.
- 2Inside walls. A steel outside tells you nothing about these.
- 3Basket. This is the part most people care about.
- 4Plate in the basket. It sits right under your food.
- 5Handle and panel. Does not touch food.
Schematic, not a specific model.
Which oven-style models have a coating?
| Model | Coating? | What the brand says |
|---|---|---|
| Our Place Wonder Oven* | Yes, on the bake pan | The oven is “Stainless steel”. The basket and rack are “Chromed steel”, which is not stainless. The pan has a “nonstick ceramic coating”. |
| Breville BOV900* | Yes, inside walls and pizza pan | “The walls on the inside of the oven feature a non-stick coating.” The basket material isn't stated. |
| GreenPan Bistro 9-in-1* | Yes, four parts | The manual says the inside walls, pan, basket and crumb tray are coated. |
| Cuisinart TOA-70* | Yes, the oven sides | A booklet for the series says “The sides of the oven are coated.” We couldn't match it to this exact oven. Basket not stated. |
| Ninja Flip SP151* | Couldn't find out | Ninja's page says “Material: stainless steel” for the whole product, not for the basket. |
Which drawer models have a coating?
| Model | Coating? | What the brand says |
|---|---|---|
| Cosori Iconic* | Yes, basket and plate | Cosori's page says the basket is 304 stainless steel. The manual, for the European model, mentions “the ceramic coating on the crisper plate and inside the basket”. |
| Cosori TurboBlaze* | Yes, basket and plate | “Aluminum metal with nonstick coating.” |
| Typhur Dome 2* | Yes, the basket | An aluminum alloy basket. Typhur calls the coating “PFAS-free nonstick ceramic”. |
| Instant Vortex Plus 6 Qt* | Yes, the cooking tray | “The Cooking Tray has non-stick coating.” The basket material isn't stated. |
| Nuwave Brio Plus 8 Qt* | Yes, tray and riser | “The Base Tray and Air Circulation Riser have a non-stick coating.” |
| Gourmia 8 Qt* | Couldn't find out | We only found a manual for other models in the family. It mentions a nonstick coating. |
| Naples 8.4 Qt* | Couldn't find out | The Amazon listing says “Large Stainless Steel Basket”. We found no brand document. |
| 6 Qt, no brand named* | Couldn't find out | The listing says “Full Metal Inner Pot” and “PTFE and PFAS Free”. Nothing backs that up. |
What about glass models?
| Model | Coating? | What the brand says |
|---|---|---|
| Ninja Crispi* | Couldn't find out | Glass container. Ninja says the glassware is “free from PTFE and PFAs”. A snippet about the plate mentions a nano-ceramic coating, which we couldn't confirm. |
| Ninja Crispi Pro* | Couldn't find out | Glass container. We didn't read about the plate. |
| NutriChef 5.8 Qt* | Couldn't find out | The brand's page lists a “Non-stick Basket Surface”. |
| Fritaire Glass* | Couldn't find out | The brand's page says “Food-Contact Coatings: None” and calls its 304 stainless accessories “Non-Coated”. We couldn't match that page to the Amazon listing. |
What stands out?
- Stainless in the name settles little. Breville and GreenPan sell stainless-looking ovens. Their own manuals name a coating inside.
- Inside walls are rarely described. Check the basket and the walls separately.
- A listing title is not a brand document. We don't count one as proof.

How do I check a model that isn't here?
Use how to check an air fryer's coating. For the bigger picture, read what a basket is made of.
If bare metal matters most, start with the Our Place Wonder Oven. Its basket is chromed steel, not stainless, and one pan has a coating. For more choices, see our comparison of stainless steel air fryers.
Common questions
What is an air fryer basket made of?
It depends on the model, and many brands don't say. Cosori says its TurboBlaze basket is aluminum with a nonstick coating. Typhur lists an aluminum alloy basket with a ceramic coating. Our Place lists chromed steel for the Wonder Oven.
Why does a stainless model say it has a coating?
Because we look at the parts inside, not the outside shell. Breville's manual says the inside walls of the BOV900 have a non-stick coating. GreenPan's manual says the walls, pan, basket and crumb tray of the Bistro are coated.
Does “couldn't find out” mean the model has a coating?
No. It means we couldn't find a brand document that settles it. The model may or may not have a coating. We don't guess either way.
How can I tell what my air fryer basket is made of?
Find your model number in the brand's manual. Search it for “coating”, “non-stick” and “nonstick”, and read the cleaning section. If it says nothing, ask the brand in writing.
