Ninja Stainless Steel Air Fryer: Which Models Are Stainless?

Most Ninja air fryers with “Stainless” in the name are countertop ovens, like the Ninja Flip SP151. We found no Ninja paper that says the basket is stainless steel. So read the word “stainless” as a question, not an answer.

The short answer

Ninja uses “Stainless” mostly on countertop ovens, such as the Flip SP151. Ninja’s list names aluminum and stainless steel in those ovens but doesn’t say which part is which. The manuals we read don’t say what the basket is made of or whether it has a coating. For the Flip, we couldn’t confirm the basket.

Ninja Flip SP151

Ninja’s page says “stainless steel” for the whole product, but not what the basket is.

The Ninja oven we looked at most closely, with “Stainless” in its name. We couldn’t confirm whether its mesh basket is coated.

Good for families who want a flip-up countertop oven and are fine with the basket question staying open.

Coating: We couldn’t confirm

  • Ninja’s chemical list for this series shows no PTFE on that line
  • The list doesn’t say if the mesh basket is coated
  • Ninja’s page says “stainless steel” for the whole product, not the basket
  • The manual copy we read has no model number and says nothing on materials

Which Ninja models say “stainless”?

Mostly ovens:

  • Flip SP151
  • Foodi XL Pro DT201
  • Prestige Smart XL Pro DT551
  • French Door Premier FO101

The Flip is the one we looked into closely. For the other three we have no verdict. Ninja’s Crispi has glass containers and makes no stainless claim. See the Ninja Crispi.

What does Ninja’s list say?

SharkNinja, the company behind Ninja, publishes a list of what is in its products for California. For these oven series it names aluminum and stainless steel. PTFE, the slick nonstick coating best known as Teflon, is not on that line.

That tells you some stainless steel is in the oven. It doesn’t say if that is the outside, the walls or the basket. It also doesn’t say whether anything is coated, and it is dated 2025.

What about the Flip’s basket?

Ninja’s page for the SP151 says “Material: stainless steel” for the whole product, not the basket. A parts page says only “Mesh basket designed for excellent airflow”. Neither names the metal or says if it is coated.

So we don’t call the Flip’s basket uncoated. See the Ninja Flip.

How do I look after the basket?

For the Foodi XL Pro (DT200 series), the manual says the air fry basket “can be put in the dishwasher, but may wear more quickly over time”. The sheet pan should not go in the dishwasher. Follow the manual in your own box.

What are the other choices?

Which one should you get?

The Wonder Oven has a chromed steel basket, which is a metal plating and not stainless. Breville says the walls inside its oven have a non-stick coating. See the material table and stainless inserts if you are thinking of a separate basket.

Common questions

Does Ninja make an air fryer with a stainless steel basket?

We didn’t find one in anything we could read. The Flip’s basket is called a mesh basket, with no metal named. A Ninja drawer-style manual says “nonstick-coated cooking basket”. If a listing says otherwise, ask Ninja to put it in writing.

Is the Ninja Flip basket uncoated?

We can’t say that. In a search result, Ninja’s FAQ answered “Is the air fry basket nonstick?” with “No”. We couldn’t open that page. Not nonstick doesn’t mean uncoated.

Can I buy a stainless replacement basket for a Ninja?

Other sellers offer baskets with Ninja in the title, but that isn’t Ninja’s approval. No brand we read approves other makers’ baskets for a given model. Our page on inserts explains what they do and don’t change.
