Kitchen appliances verified by what actually touches food — no PTFE, no plastic hype

A free, source-linked directory of kitchen appliances scored by what actually touches food or brewing water: plastic in the water path, PTFE/PFA nonstick, and coated pots and baskets. We cover mainstream brands (GE, Cuisinart, Breville, KitchenAid, Ninja, Cosori, OXO, Zojirushi, Instant, Vitamix, and more) even when they fail — marketing brands alone would miss half the shelf.

How scoring works

We do not run lab tests. Every materials claim links a manufacturer sheet, manual, AB1200/Prop 65 note, or retailer spec. Recalled models are left off the public site entirely — see methodology.
