The cooking bowl is tempered glass — no nonstick coating, no ceramic layer, nothing to chip or off-gas onto your food. Borosilicate confirmation isn't available, so let the glass cool 5–10 minutes before rinsing to avoid thermal shock. Under normal use, cracking risk is low.
The food-contact surfaces are stainless steel — uncoated, no PTFE, no ceramic nonstick. The grade isn't disclosed, so you can't independently verify corrosion resistance if you're cooking acidic foods frequently. Contact Our Place to confirm 304 (18/8) — if it is, this is one of the safest container materials available.
The crisper rack is stainless steel with no coating, so there's nothing to flake or degrade. Fritaire hasn't confirmed the alloy grade — most residential racks use 304 (18/8), which holds up well to acidic foods, but you can't verify that here. Contact the brand if grade confirmation matters to you.
The crisper plate is chrome-plated steel, which is food-safe at cooking temperatures. Modern chrome plating uses trivalent chromium — the safe form — but Our Place doesn't confirm this explicitly. Hand wash promptly and inspect weld points periodically for rust if the plating wears.
Fritaire claims PFAS-free, Teflon-free, and BPA-free, but no independent lab has verified this — no NSF cert, no Mamavation testing, no SGS report linked anywhere. At $199.99, you're taking the brand's word for it. If lab-verified PFAS-free claims matter, products like Cosori or Ninja with third-party certification exist at lower prices.
Our Place declares AB 1200 compliance, which legally prohibits the most acutely hazardous PFAS and heavy metals from food-contact materials. This is a brand self-declaration, not an independent lab result. Compliance also doesn't mean PFAS-free across the board — only the compounds named in the regulation.
At 260W per quart, this fryer handles chicken wings, fries, and vegetables without issue. Dense proteins like a thick pork chop will cook more evenly if you flip halfway through. That's a minor extra step, not a dealbreaker.
At 53.6 watts per quart, this oven doesn't generate enough heat density to crisp dense proteins — think chicken thighs or pork chops — at full load. It handles reheating, toast, and lighter air frying well. If your household air fries frequently and in volume, this is a real limitation.
400°F covers the vast majority of air fryer recipes — frozen foods, roasted vegetables, breaded chicken all cook well. You won't get deep steakhouse browning or heavy searing at this ceiling. If high-heat crisping is important to you, competitors like Typhur Dome 2 max out at 450°F.
The 450°F ceiling covers every common cooking task: air frying, roasting, broiling, and high-heat finishing. You won't hit a temperature wall mid-recipe. Just know that at max temp, food can go from perfect to overdone in under two minutes — stay close.
Five quarts works well for one to two adults per batch — a full chicken breast, a side of fries, or a small sheet of vegetables fits comfortably. If you're cooking for three or more, plan on multiple rounds. Fritaire doesn't publish interior bowl dimensions, so actual usable cooking area can't be confirmed.
At 31.7 quarts, this oven fits a 12-inch pizza or a full rotisserie chicken — confirmed by Our Place. The interior dimensions aren't officially published, so the listed capacity is the best available size reference. For families cooking in batches, plan for about 20 extra minutes per meal while the second batch catches up.
Every food-contact part goes straight in the dishwasher — glass bowl, rack, and lid. No scrubbing, no soaking, no exceptions. That matters more than it sounds: it's the difference between using this nightly and leaving it in a cabinet.
Nothing goes in the dishwasher — not the basket, rack, or any accessory. Over a year of regular use, that adds up to 10-15 hours of hand washing. Perforated parchment sheets (rated to 450°F) or silicone liners cut cleanup to a quick wipe and make this oven significantly more livable day-to-day.
At 55 dBA, this runs quieter than a normal conversation. You can watch TV at normal volume while it's going. Not suitable right next to a sleeping infant, but fine for an open-plan kitchen.
At 58 decibels, you'll hear it running but it won't interrupt a conversation across the room. It's comparable to a quiet dishwasher. In a studio or open-plan apartment with a bedroom nearby, it may be noticeable during early mornings or late nights.
Ninety days barely covers the return window at most retailers. If something fails at month four — a fan motor, a heating element — you're on your own. Pay with a credit card that offers purchase protection to extend your coverage.
One year covers manufacturing defects under normal use — that's the US standard for countertop appliances. It won't cover fan wear or degradation from heavy use over time. If you pay with an Amex or Visa Signature card, you typically get an automatic second year of coverage at no cost.
Everything you need to make the call — who each one is for, and who should skip it.
Go for it if you...
You want every food-contact surface to be coating-free — no PTFE, no ceramic, no nonstick layer anywhere.
You cook for one or two people and a 5qt capacity handles your typical meals.
You want to visually inspect the bowl mid-cook or confirm it's clean without guessing.
You prefer the self-cleaning mode (water, soap, hot air cycle) over scrubbing a basket by hand.
You want a countertop oven with zero nonstick coating on any food-contact surface — the racks, basket, and interior are all bare stainless.
You need a true multi-mode oven that toasts, bakes, broils, air fries, and dehydrates without buying separate appliances.
Your family meals require real capacity — it holds a 12-inch pizza or a full rotisserie chicken across three rack positions.
You're replacing a coated toaster oven and hand-washing the accessories is an acceptable trade-off for uncoated surfaces.
The main thing to know
The Fritaire is the only air fryer in this category with a tempered glass bowl and stainless steel rack — zero nonstick coating on any food-contact surface — but you're paying $199.99 for a 90-day warranty and a 400°F temperature ceiling.
Every food-contact surface is bare stainless steel — no PTFE, no ceramic, no off-gassing risk at any temperature — but the air fry mode is underpowered at 53.6 watts per quart, and nothing in the box is dishwasher safe.
Skip this if you...
You need temperatures above 400°F — searing proteins or deep browning isn't achievable at this max.
You expect a standard warranty on a $200 appliance — 90 days is well below what most air fryers at this price offer.
You want the stainless steel grade disclosed — Fritaire doesn't specify the alloy, so you can't verify nickel content or food-grade certification.
You need crispy results on dense proteins like chicken thighs — 53.6 W/qt can't sustain crisping temperature under a full load.
You expect dishwasher-safe accessories — the crumb tray, racks, and basket all require hand washing every time.
You want independently lab-tested PFAS-free certification — AB 1200 is a California regulatory disclosure, not a third-party verified result.
You're spending $245 and expect premium air frying performance — the wattage-to-capacity ratio doesn't match the price.
Neither of these quite what you're looking for?
I've reviewed all Air Fryer options at every price pointEvery Air Fryer in our database is scored using R3's V4.2 deterministic rubric — the same inputs always produce the same score. For this comparison, we evaluated Fritaire and Our Place across 3 independent criteria: Safety (50%), Efficacy (25%), Usability (25%). No sponsored rankings. No paid placements.
Straight answers — no sponsored content, no filler.
The Fritaire Non Toxic Air Fryer Pro, 9-in-1 Glass Air Fryer, Self-Cleaning uses a borosilicate glass basket with a stainless steel crisper plate. Stainless steel and glass are inherently PFAS-free materials, so this model passes our material safety screen.
Between these two, the Our Place Large Wonder Oven (stainless steel basket, 7.8/10 safety) uses materials I'm more comfortable with at high heat. The Fritaire Non Toxic Air Fryer Pro, 9-in-1 Glass Air Fryer, Self-Cleaning's borosilicate glass basket scored 6.2/10. In our V4.2 rubric, basket material accounts for a significant portion of the safety pillar, which carries 50% of the overall score.
For families, capacity comes first: Fritaire offers 5-qt vs Our Place's 31.7-qt. Noise is worth checking too - Fritaire runs quieter at 55dB. For cleanup, Fritaire is dishwasher-safe. Overall, I'd lean toward Our Place for most families.
304 stainless steel is inherently PFAS-free and won't off-gas at any cooking temperature. Nonstick coatings (PTFE/Teflon) are stable below 400°F but can begin degrading above that threshold. In our V4.2 rubric, stainless and borosilicate glass baskets consistently score higher on the safety pillar. That said, a well-maintained nonstick basket from a reputable brand still meets safety baselines - it's a question of margin, not danger.
We use our V4.2 deterministic rubric with four weighted pillars: Safety (50%), Efficacy (20%), Usability (20%), and Value (10%). For air fryers, safety evaluates basket material composition, Prop 65 compliance, third-party certifications, and PFAS testing. Efficacy covers cooking performance, temperature accuracy, and capacity-to-wattage ratio. Usability scores noise levels, cleanup ease, and warranty terms. Every score is reproducible - the same product data produces the same score.
