Are you looking for the safest air fryer or air fryer ovens without PFAS coatings? Truth be told many of the highly-rated “favorite” air fryers on the market contain potentially toxic proprietary nonstick coatings, and/or Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), commonly referred to as “forever chemicals.” But never fret, we looked into all the most popular brands. You’ve trusted Mamavation to bring you topics like best & worst air purifiers, best & worst organic mattresses, & the best water filters, now join us as we share our findings of safest non-toxic Air Fryers and Air Fryer Ovens.

Pretty Much All “Non-Stick” Inside Small Kitchen Appliances are Toxic
When it comes to cookware & small kitchen appliances, and other types of appliances on your counter space, there are a plethora of options. (In fact, Mamavation’s investigation on cookware in 2021 is still one of the most popular posts on the site.)
When you hear “non-stick” it’s typically referring to food contact surfaces that have been coated with perfluorinated chemicals or PFAS like PFOA. These synthetic chemicals appear to give products an edge with the promise of easy cleanup, stain and grease resistance, and a no-mess, no-fuss type of surface tray.
Sounds great until you find out how incredibly toxic to humans and the environment they also are. Some of the more problematic health impacts are below:
- affect the growth, learning, and behavior of infants and older children
- increase cholesterol levels
- increase the risk of cancer like testicular, prostate and breast cancers
- interfere with the body’s natural hormones
- low sperm count
- smaller penis size
- reduction in immunity
- metabolic diseases like obesity & diabetes
- thyroid disfunction
- reduced vaccination response
- ulcerative colitis
- increase the risk of cancer like testicular, prostate and breast cancers
The danger in PFAS chemicals is an accumulation of exposures over time because it does not leave your body for quite some time. So your daily exposure to PFAS chemicals matters and should be reduced overall.
PFAS Chemicals Are Ubiquitous & Hard to Completely Avoid
You can find PFAS chemicals in a variety of consumer retail products, and other industries where daily exposure is unavoidable. Here are some examples:
- bike lubricants
- carpets & floor polish
- clothing, including water-resistant jackets or stain-resistant pants,
- cosmetics, including body lotion, foundation, concealer, eye shadow, powder
- crops farmed with “sewage sludge” (No worries if you eat organic because organic farmers are prohibited from using biosolids aka “sewage sludge”)
- drinking water close to airports & military bases or utilizing water sources that have been polluted by industry
- electronics
- fire fighting protective gear
- food packaging
- laboratory equipment
- leather treatment
- protective gear for medical staff, such as surgical gowns
- retardants in fire fighting foam
- surfing wax
Teflon & The Shady Past of Cookware Set Us Up For a Shady Small Kitchen Appliance Aisle
It seems that most people are aware of the toxicity associated with Teflon. Teflon is the brand name for a chemical also known as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), which was originated by using the surfactant perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA, aka “C8”).
PFOA falls into the class of chemicals known as PFAS (Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances). These chemicals are raising concern from not only the public but also scientists, medical researchers, and regulatory groups.
Just like with many other legacy chemicals, regrettable substitutions afloat. In terms of PFAS, long-chain PFOA and PFOS were phased out under pressure from the Environmental Protection Agency. Companies went scrambling for alternatives and found other chemicals within the same PFAS chemical category that were slightly different. However, studies are finding these new short-chain fluorotelomers could actually be MORE problematic.
- Short-chain chemicals build up in lab animals just as much as the long chains do
- Lower doses stayed in the body for longer periods of time than the large doses typically used in short-term toxicity studies
Most Air Fryer Brands Evaded Transparency on Non-Stick Coatings
So where are all the safest air fryers without PFAS coatings? What we learned during this investigation is that companies who are still using nonstick coatings are not always willing to provide the exact materials used in their products, which is a concern for us.
- Some of them did respond with a generic response that the nonstick coating used is proprietary and cannot be disclosed.
- Others responded with a misleading reply that boasted being PFOA-free or even just letting us know that all of their products are FDA approved and “very safe.”
- Some brands did not use PFAS on food contact surfaces but instead used them on the side of the inside walls instead. If you don’t ask them, they won’t volunteer that information.
We want to provide you with a thorough assessment of the options out there but please know we could only do so much with the information we have been provided. Transparency is huge for Mamavation, and Air Fryers somehow bring out the least transparent of information to the table. As brands change, we update this post.
Tips For Avoiding PFAS “Forever Chemicals” Inside Your Home
Mamavation has been keeping you in the know about PFAS continually so we can guide you to safer products. We tried our best to get the scoop from Air Fryer brands on if their products contained PFAS chemicals. It was not an easy task, and we are still waiting and wondering about many of the companies we contacted based on either a lack of response or intentional avoidance of the direct question.
Here are some tips for keeping PFAS out of your home:
- Swap your Non-stick cookware to these healthier brands
- Find better small kitchen appliances without PFAS coated surfaces
- Try to find alternatives to non-stick products whenever possible (especially if you have any small pets or immune-compromised family members. Birds are especially vulnerable).
- Avoid foods with packaging. Grease-proof food packaging (pizza boxes, cake cardboard bottoms, & french fry wrappers. Click here for a list of which grocery store chains are serving PFAS-free packing)
- Avoid fast food as much as possible. (Did you know we tested In-N-Out Burger wrappers the other day?)
- Look into investing in a reverse osmosis water system for your home, especially if you live by a military base or airport.
- When purchasing furniture or carpet, of stain and dirt resistance treatments. (Like StainMaster)
- Even your mattress contains PFAS chemicals but these organic mattresses do not.
- Avoid buying clothing with labels indicating water, stain or dirt repellant. (Like Patagonia jackets)
- Avoid choosing personal care products with “fluoro” or “perfluoro” on the ingredient list. However, did you know that some toothfloss contains PFAS? These brands do not.
- Dust more often! FAS chemicals stick to dust particles so the more dust you have in your home, the more likely there is PFAS in the air you breathe. Click here for our FREE eBook on how to clean your indoor air.
Mamavation’s Investigation of Safest Air Fryers without PFAS Coatings
Mamavation evaluated about 40 different air fryer products available in the United States. We started out pretty excited about a handful of models that had been previously reviewed as non-toxic, along with products that had prior claims of using only stainless steel with no coatings.
If you are looking forward to a crispy texture with chicken wings, homemade mozzarella sticks, or the taste of deep frying or fried foods without the oil? Mamavation is looking to air fryers but with the following categories:
- Air Fryers with Air Fryer Baskets
- Air Fryer Ovens
- Convection Ovens with glass bowls
- Countertop Toaster Ovens
Mamavation ran into several issues after studying reviews, contacting the companies directly, and studying their marketing online:
- PROPRIETARY (Likely PFAS) NON-STICK COATINGS: Most brands contained coatings that were “proprietary”, which may likely mean some sort of PFAS chemical coating. While other brands responded to our inquiries immediately to tell us they used PFAS coatings. PFAS chemicals are referred to as “forever chemicals” because they are incredibly persistent in the environment.
- CERAMIC NON-STICK COATINGS: Ceramic non-stick coatings are typically made of nanoparticles, which are common but not well studied. However, some titanium dioxide nanoparticles have been linked to precancerous gut lesions as well as immune disruption. This type of ceramic coating is very common in cookware, so we can only assume it also may be inside the air fryer if they don’t answer our inquiries.
- ALUMINUM FOOD CONTACT SURFACES: Aluminum (especially when uncoated), has the potential to leach aluminum into your food. Aluminum is bioaccumulative and a known neurotoxin that can cause neurological disorders like dementia. Aluminum cookware is an obvious culprit, but it’s also been found present at lower levels in ceramic and stainless steel cooking products. Aluminum can also cause slow growth in children, speech problems, seizures, and eventual system toxicity that causes serious problems including anemia, nervous system trouble, and bone and brain diseases.
- FUMES: Some of the Air Fryers included warnings from the manufacturers along with reviews from customers regarding an initial “smell” that is common with the first use (sometimes the first few) of the appliance. We are assuming you don’t want products that produce smells.
- PACKAGING CHEMICALS: We found something that could be common in brands that did not respond to our other inquires. At least one of the companies confirmed to use a coating on the product during shipping to protect the parts from being scratched. But they did seem to all provide this information within the manuals to let the consumer know how to handle this with the first use to either prevent the smell or to be prepared for a one-time smell after following their explicit instructions prior to using the Air Fryer.
Air Fryer & Air Fry Oven Brands That Are Not Our Favorites
These brands were found to contain one of the following contaminants within the surfaces touching food: Teflon, “nonstick coating”, PTFE fluoropolymer, or plastics. This section may also comprise companies that did not return email communication and we were unsure of their materials on food contact and non-food contact surfaces.
- Breville BOV900BSSUSC The Smart Oven Air
- Chefman Air Fryer Toaster Oven
- Cosori Smart Air Fryer Toaster Oven, who confirmed they use a “non-toxic” Teflon
- Cuisinart (some of their products contained Xylan but a few of their others made our Better list)
- Cuisinart TOA-60 Convection Toaster Oven Airfryer
- Cuisinart TOB-135N
- Cuisinart TOA-65
- Dash Air Crisp Pro Digital
- Farberware Air Fryer Toaster Oven
- Galanz Digital Toaster Oven with TotalFry 360
- Iconites 8-in-1 Air Fryer, 6.5 Quart Air Fryer Oven

- Instant Vortex Plus Air Fryer 6-in-1
- Instant Vortex Plus Air Fyer Oven
- Kitchenaid Digital Countertop Oven With Air Fry
- Pampered Chef Deluxe Air Fryer
Better Air Fryer and Air Fryer Oven Brands
These brands were better than the last category, but there were still things we didn’t find optimal. Some of the coatings in the “better” list of Air Fryers have opted to use ceramic coatings in lieu of Teflon. And much like the ceramic cookware investigation, we still had a challenging time confirming the specific materials used in the various air fryers as well. Because most ceramic cookware brands use nanotechnology to coat the surfaces, we could only assume this was happening here too. There are also brands in here that avoid PFAS coatings on food contact surfaces but still left “non-stick coatings” in other areas that may still impact the food inside. We also put products here that had Prop. 65 warnings or used aluminum as food contact surfaces.

These are the safest air fryers without PFAS coatings. As of the time we did this investigation, these were the best brands we could find that was available for purchase in the United States. Again, these brands did not seem to contain any PFAS coatings on food contact surfaces or inside the machine at all. Ceramic was not used as a food-contact surface. Safe food contact surfaces were uncoated stainless steel or glass. We linked up as many of these brands on Amazon as we could for your convenience.

Glyphosate Testing–Honeymaid Graham Cracker Results 2021
So confused 😐 so which air fryer is the safest? Anyone can recommend a toaster?
Could you share what part of the Breville smart oven air is not safe? I thought it would be the safest being a stainless steel appliance. Thank you
https://louisesturhling.com/products/louise-sturhling-stainless-steel-natural-ceramic-coated-5-8qt-air-fryer-xl-hot-oven-cooker-bpa-free-pfos-pfoa-free-lead-cadmium-free-8-in-1-programmed-touchscreen-settings-plus-free-cookbook
What’s somewhat confusing is, many of the “safe” air fryers in the list are not actually air fryers at all. They are Halogen ovens (the ones with the glass bowls). Halogen technology cooks food with a light that goes on and off over a Pyrex container. They do not use circulating air like air fryers. Halogen ovens are not air fryers.
I have two parrots in my house and Teflon heated to certain temperatures can actually kill them. I spoke to Cuisinart today and they stated all of their air fryers are PTFE and PFOA free. Is that in agreement with what you have found? The model I just purchased is CTOA-130PC2. I didn’t even think about the possibility of Teflon being used in it.
PFOA is a type of PFAS. Being PFOA free does not 100% equal to PFAS free.
Thank you, Leah. This is by far the most comprehensive article ai have found on the subject and has confirmed my own frustrations in trying to get to the bottom of what these air fryers are made of. Is there any chance you are planning on updating this for 2022, as there are so many newer products on the market now. Thank you! Best, Ellen
I was very interested in the Big Boss until I learned Halogen radiation which emit Electro Magnetic Frequencies were the source of heating used. Ugh…
That’s also when I learned the glass cooktop on my stove used halogen creating EMF’s… so did my baseboard heating and heated blanket.
I emailed the company about the Emeril Lagasse oven. Does this reply seem like it is good enough to purchase? I’ve been researching for so long and felt this one should be ok, but a little confused by their response. Thank you!!!
“The Inside is galvanized steel, outside is stainless steel. There is No non-stick coating on the interior. The 360 accessories are combinations of chrome-plated steel, chrome-plated iron, aluminized steel, and galvanized steel.
This product is safe to use as instructed. This product meets federal and state laws (including California’s) for safety.

We bought an Oster French door Air Fry Countertop Oven. There were no peculiar smells but I am concerned about how hot the appliance gets when cooking in it, especially after the Best Buy recall of Insignia Air Fryers which catch fire and even melt!
hi im single i have a dash currentlly love it but hate the chemicals… can you please recomend an air fryer that isnt a toater over but shaped more like my dash? i found a couple of stainless steel basket ones but all where unavailable for putchase anywhere and the big glass ones are to much for me and my space… also on a fixed income so price is a bit of a factor as well…
I am interested in the homelabs air fryer. Do you know if it is safe and does it smell? Also what should I replace the drip pan with as it is teflon.
I am also curious about this question “one says clean the interior gently which might mean it does? If food doesn’t come in contact with the nonstick then can it be toxic?”
Thank you for all you amazing research I look forward to hearing back.

I was interested in the homelabs air fryer as well and reached out to ask about materials used. This is their response:
“I am more than happy to answer your question.
The warning sign, according to our product engineers, is for California Proposition 65, which requires lead to be stated even if the lead content is very little.
The internal cavity is made of Zinc plated steel. The fetch tool & fruit dehydrate tray are chrome-plated steel.
Stainless steel (SUS430/304) is used for the rest of the accessories. These components are free of BPA.
Teflon is used to coat the drip tray (PTFE). The coating is free of PFOA, PFOS, and BPA.”
Hope that helps!
I think i found a good one but I’m really unsure about the bake pan. It says made of 304 stainless steel and this was the manufacturer’s response regarding materials of the accessories. I think the bake pan is questionable but I am unsure from my research. I am also OKAY if I don’t use the bake pan. Would you mind checking this one?
“The material of the wire rack is carbon structural steel wire.
The material of the baking/drip pan is a hot-dip aluminum coated steel plate.
The material of the Air Fryer basket is carbon structural steel wire.”
VAL CUCINE 26.3 QT/25 L Extra-Large Smart Air Fryer Toaster Oven, 10-in-1 Convection Countertop Oven Combination，Brushed Stainless Steel Finish https://www.amazon.com/dp/B097B8MD73/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_H0XE7GRPF8MNX92QYRKN?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Thanks for all your great research. I received the Cuisinart TOA-26 for Christmas. It’s an air fryer toaster oven combo. It smelled terrible the first time I turned it on, so I started researching. This model is supposedly brand new. I contacted Cuisinart to find out what the inside is coated with, and they responded with this: “Thank you for your inquiry. The Cuisinart AirFryers has a coated steel interior.
There is no Teflon or non-stick coating in any of these units.”
So my question now is what is a steel coated interior? Is that inherently unsafe even if it is not a non-stick coating? I can’t seem to get a straight answer from them on what is in the material that coats the steel.
It’s so hard and frustrating to try and find out what is safe. I would so appreciate any feedback you have. Thanks so much!

Do let us know if you need anything else.
I’m confused by your list because you have several air fryers listed in your better and best section that have Prop 65 warnings (not just the Emeril one you mentioned). Also, the Cuisinart TOA-60 and TOA-65 do not have Prop 65 warnings.
You should remove the Oster air fryer from your list. I bought it and it looked like it had a coating. I called the manufacturer and they said it’s coated with PTFE (Teflon).
Was the paint on the glass door tested for lead on the Emeri Lagasse 360 Power Air Fryer?
Hi,
Thank you so much as I was hesitant to buy airfryer for the very reason you had mentioned. I’m leaning towards Emeril but the customer service says California Pro 65 warning is for the entire unit whereas you had mentioned it’s for the cord only. Could you please clarify it.
Does the best air fryers have any non stick interior? For example the homelabs one says clean the interior gently which might mean it does? If food doesn’t come in contact with the nonstick then can it be toxic? What do you think of the chefman multifunctional air fryer oven which has steel accessories.
Just saw a review for the Emeril air fryer/toaster oven, which stated that the fryer basket is made of aluminum……super sad that it’s so hard for find SAFE appliances!
https://www.costco.com/.product.100781829.html?&EMID=B2C_2021_1101_Pre-Pre
This is a good deal. Is it safe?
I didn’t see the Phillips premium xxl on any of the lists. Curious if you know anything about that one ?
Thanks for all you do!
Philips is supposed to be safe
Is this one recomended?
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B08TGG8CCT/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
We can take a look into this one and add it somewhere. It’s just gonna take a few emails.
Thank you for all of your hard work! The Emeril made the most since to me. So glad to find a stainless steel air fryer basket that will work with a toaster oven.
Thank you for your research. Does the Emeril airfryer comes with aluminum
Basket?
Black + Decker says they use a zinc coating inside. Is that rthe reason for placing them in better but not best? Thanks!
Still don’t know which one to buy. I need one that doesn’t off-gas, doesn’t produce chemical smells, doesn’t release particulates and won’t break in a week. So far, every one of these has issues with some or all of these. Ceramic isn’t as safe and forget about the brands with coatings. Anyone buy a certain brand that was safe, cooked well, lasted a long time, and has accessories included? Please reply here.

When I searched the web for the CalmDo from the best list I found it on Walmart.com and in the features section it has a P65warning saying this product can expose you to DINP (diisobonyl phthalate) chemicals. So is this product safe???
it also talkes about a protective oil being added during transport so it might release a smell during first use…so I am very confused about reading your report and this product being on the safe list…can you please help clarify…I would really like to buy a nontoxic machine…Thanks 🙂

WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including (DINP) Diisononyl Phthalate, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
I found the same warning, Jan. Diisononyl Phthalate is on the Prop 65 as being carcinogenic. I reached out to the manufacturer requesting how their product would cause Diisononyl Phthalate, but I have not heard anything back yet. When I get the answer, I will post it back here, so that you can decide if you want to get this product or not.
It also comments on using an oil for shipping that might relase a smell during first use…so is this product really considered safe?

Thank you for the time and effort. Do you have a youtube channel?
I have not taken the Ninja Dual drawer air fryer that I just bought out of the box yet. I thought it was PTFE AND PFOA free like they advertised. After buying, I found replies from Ninja Community Support on Best Buy and Amazon and they state: The drawers are made of steel and coated with PTFE. The crisper plates are aluminum with ceramic coating. I read PTFE no longer has been made using PFOA. I am upset that in NINJA ‘s advertising they state the air fryer is PTFE and PFOA free. So, why do these Community Support people state the baskets are coated with PTFE? I feel taken. Since PFOA has not been used since 2014, is this PTFE safer??? I may be returning the air fryer tomorrow and give up on getting one. Thanks.
Someone on Amazon posted that the condo smells when you first use it had a burnt smell anybody else with this experience
YES!!! My house stunk like toxic plastic after the first use of my Instant Vortex 5.7Quart air fryer. I was so off put by this and wondered if I didn’t wash something properly before using. UGH
Thank you sooo much for taking the time and doing this investigation. I felt the AirFryer Oven my husband got can’t be healthy and this confirms it. It gives off a smell and I always felt that’s not right, along with other things. He uses it daily, it sits right on the counter. He’s recently battling immuno issues and I’m trying to get him to make better choices. I will be sending him this article. I myself am a breast cancer survivor and make my own choices which is hard since we prepare 2 different meals a lot.
Thanks for telling me more about your story and happy to help!
Thank you for the information. I appreciate all you guys do to promote health and wellness. God Bless.
Thank you!! Cxoo
Thank you Mamavation! What about the Instant Pot Omni model? I see the Omni Plus in your list but not Omni.. i also see other Instant Pot air fryer options (vortex) but not the Omni.. just want to be sure based on what’s available to me. Thnak you!
I’m so grateful for this investigation! I have been putting off buying one for these reasons precisely, thank you so much for your recommendations!!
Soooooo happy I waited to buy an air fryer. Thank you so much for all the work you do. I REALLY appreciate it!!!
Yay, both of mine are on the best list!
Hi what r the brands of your s you say both your r on the best list. Please tell me what the brands and if their really what they say they r. Thanks. Lori
