Hamilton Beach Easy Reach Toaster Oven (31127D)
A plain, cheap toaster oven with a bare galvanized-steel cavity and chrome-plated racks - no nonstick interior and no bundled air-fry basket to worry about. The pragmatic coating-free pick.
The verdict: No-contact plastic
The interior cavity is bare galvanized steel with no nonstick coating, the racks are chrome-plated steel, and the bake pan and crumb tray are aluminized steel - all bare metal, no PTFE or ceramic coating in the food path. It is bake/broil/toast only, so there is no included nonstick air-fry basket to swap out. The only plastic is the exterior housing, feet, and control knobs, none of which touch food. That makes it no-contact-plastic and one of the cleanest, cheapest ways to sidestep the coated-cavity problem.
