Ninja air fryers, Crispi, blenders and cookware: what touches your food

We mapped what touches your food or water in 15 Ninja products and parts: the glass Crispi, two basket air fryers, a flip-up air fry oven, three air-fry accessories, a pressure cooker and a slow cooker, the CREAMi, a blender, a food processor, two coffee makers and EverClad stainless cookware. 2 pass, 3 partial, 10 fail.

How to read verdicts: Pass = primary food/water contact is metal, glass, or disclosed silicone-only seals with no plastic. Partial = usable if you skip a coated accessory, or plastic remains on lids/seals. Fail = plastic or fluoropolymer/nonstick cooking surface in the normal use path.

Black Friday / Cyber Monday: every vetted Pass & Partial pick with a live Amazon listing — real price drops only when the listing showed one.

Ninja (SharkNinja) sells more air fryers than almost anyone, and almost every one cooks on a coating. Ninja calls the AF160-family basket aluminum with a ceramic nonstick coating, and a SharkNinja product expert says the best-selling DZ201 DualZone basket is PTFE-coated. The glass Crispi is Ninja's answer to coated baskets, and it's a real step up: the containers are borosilicate glass. But the crisper plates in the box are aluminum with a nano-ceramic nonstick coating, and the lids are plastic, so it's Partial, not Pass. Ninja's pressure and slow cookers use coated pots, and its blenders, CREAMi and drip coffee makers put plastic around your food or water. The clean Ninja buy isn't an appliance at all: EverClad tri-ply stainless cookware.

Quick answer: the only Ninja products that pass are EverClad stainless cookware (18/10 stainless, glass lids) and a stainless Cook & Crisp rack sold in the UK. Want a Ninja air fryer with less coating? The Crispi (FN101) cooks in a glass dish. Leave the coated crisper plate out and food touches only glass. For an air fryer that passes outright, see the air fryer guide or the uncoated ovens in the GE & Café map.

$199.99 · checked 2026-11-14

As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. Disclosure.

Why: Ninja's tri-ply EverClad line is uncoated: Ninja lists an 18/10 stainless steel cooking surface over a 99% aluminum core that's sealed inside a stainless exterior, with riveted cast stainless handles and tempered glass lids. Food touches only steel and glass. The odd one out in a lineup that's mostly coated.

Ninja · Model 4031J100UK

Price: varies / not listed · checked 2026-11-01 · Not sold new on Amazon US (listing 'currently unavailable', 2026-10-31). Ninja UK lists £7.99, Ninja Ireland €9.99.

Retailer link (not an Amazon Associates link). Disclosure.

Why: Ninja describes it as a 'stainless steel rack' for the AF100 basket. Bare stainless. It lifts food off the basket's nonstick floor, but anything that drips or touches the basket walls still meets the coating.

Why: The containers really are glass: Ninja calls them borosilicate CleanCrisp glassware free of PFAS and PTFE. But the crisper plates in the box are aluminum with a nano-ceramic nonstick coating (a SharkNinja product expert confirms it), and the lids are plastic. Cook straight on the glass and skip the plate, and it's the closest thing to an uncoated basket Ninja sells. With the plate, food sits on a coating. Partial, not Pass.

As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. Disclosure.

Why: Ninja's best-selling slow cooker cooks in an aluminum pot with a nonstick coating (Amazon: "nonstick pot", material Aluminum). SharkNinja has described the coating differently in different places: a SharkNinja product expert told a Home Depot shopper in Dec 2025 it's a nano-ceramic coating, while Ninja's UK FAQ for the MC1001UK reportedly says PTFE. Either way, food cooks on a coating, so it fails.

As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. Disclosure.

Why: The glass carafe is real glass, but the water starts in a plastic reservoir (Coffeeness's hands-on review), and Ninja lists the machine as 'BPA Free', which tells you plastic parts touch the water. Ninja's manual names the swinging brew basket, filter holder and permanent filter without saying what they're made of. Plastic in the water path, so it fails, like the Fresh Brew CE451.

SharkNinja's own California AB1200 sheet lists PTFE ('provides a non-stick coating') and aluminum for OL600-series pressure cookers made before 8/15/24.
