Compare Countertop Ovens
GreenPan 13-in-1 Elite Countertop Convection Oven and Air Fryer scores higher on safety - here's why.
The most important dimensions, side by side.
The oven interior uses a proprietary nonstick coating that Breville describes only as 'PFOA-free.' Independent reviewers identify it as a silica-based coating -- safer than traditional Teflon, but Breville has not disclosed the full composition.
The oven's interior walls are coated with GreenPan's Thermolon ceramic nonstick, which is free of PTFE and PFAS according to the brand. While the coating has a strong safety track record, no independent lab has verified this specific oven model's interior. The stainless steel racks are a plus, but the ceramic walls need formal testing to earn full marks.
Breville claims this oven is PFOA-free, but PFOA is just one chemical in the larger PFAS family. No independent lab has tested this product for the full range of forever chemicals, and Breville has not pursued any PFAS-free certification.
GreenPan states this oven is PFAS-free and contains no PTFE, which is consistent with their Thermolon ceramic technology. However, the specific oven model has not been independently tested under NSF 537 or similar standards. The brand's cookware line has passed Ecology Center testing, which is encouraging, but product-specific certification would provide the strongest assurance.
The included enamel roasting pan is a standout -- enamel is inert, PFAS-free by nature, and won't leach chemicals at any temperature. One note: the included pizza pan uses a traditional nonstick coating, so you may want to swap it for a stainless steel alternative.
The included baking tray uses the same Thermolon ceramic nonstick as the interior walls. It is the surface your food sits on directly, so the lack of independent verification matters more here. The coating is PTFE-free per the brand, but a stainless steel tray or one with confirmed third-party testing would score higher.
At 1.0 cubic feet, this is one of the roomiest countertop ovens you can buy. It fits a 14-pound turkey, a full 9x13 baking pan, or 9 slices of toast -- genuinely usable as a second oven for holiday cooking.
At 1 cubic foot, this oven has room for a whole chicken, a 9x13 baking pan, and up to a 13-inch pizza. It is among the largest countertop ovens available.
Thirteen distinct cooking modes including Air Fry, Dehydrate, Slow Cook, and Proof -- the most of any countertop oven we've evaluated. The Element IQ system steers heat to where it's needed for each mode, so these aren't just preset temperatures with different names.
Thirteen cooking modes including bake, broil, air fry, toast, bagel, pizza, roast, dehydrate, proof, slow cook, defrost, duo cook, and warm. This matches the most feature-rich countertop ovens on the market.
The crumb tray slides out easily for quick cleanup after each use. The nonstick interior also wipes down with a damp cloth, keeping day-to-day maintenance simple.
The crumb tray slides out easily for cleaning and is dishwasher-safe. This prevents buildup that could cause smoke or fire during high-heat cooking.
At $399.95, this is a premium countertop oven. The cooking performance justifies the investment for serious home cooks, but the safety score means you're paying top dollar without top-tier material transparency. Competitors with stainless steel interiors offer better safety-to-price ratios.
At $319.99, this oven offers strong cooking features and Thermolon ceramic nonstick on every surface. The value calculation is affected by the safety verification gap -- the oven may perform better than its safety score suggests, but until independent testing confirms the PFAS-free claims, the price-to-score ratio remains high.
Everything you need to make the call - who each one is for, and who should skip it.

The main thing to know
The oven interior uses a proprietary nonstick coating that Breville will only describe as 'PFOA-free' -- they have not disclosed the full chemical composition or pursued any PFAS-free certification. At $399.95, you are paying a premium without full material transparency.
Despite using GreenPan's well-regarded Thermolon ceramic nonstick on every food-contact surface, this oven lacks independent third-party verification of its PFAS-free claims for this specific model. That single gap drives the overall score down because safety accounts for 86% of the R3 rating.
Skip this if you...
You want full transparency about every material touching your food -- Breville's proprietary nonstick formula is not disclosed.
You are looking for a countertop oven with a stainless steel or ceramic interior that avoids nonstick coatings entirely.
You want PFAS-free certification, not just a narrow PFOA-free claim -- no independent lab has tested this product.
You require independently certified PFAS-free food-contact surfaces with NSF 537 or equivalent third-party testing.
You prefer bare stainless steel interior walls with no nonstick coating of any kind.
You want the highest possible R3 safety score and are willing to sacrifice cooking features for material verification.
Neither of these quite what you're looking for?
