Nuwave Combi Steam Oven
A bare-stainless-interior combi steam/convection oven with stainless accessories and a borosilicate glass pot - a coating-free oven-route way to air fry, with no nonstick cavity.
The verdict: No-contact plastic
Nuwave states the entire cooking cavity is uncoated stainless steel, the accessories (air-fry tray, rack) are stainless, and it includes a borosilicate glass casserole pot - the unit is PFAS-free and contains no aluminum in the cook path. So air-fried and baked food contacts only bare stainless or glass, with no nonstick coating anywhere. The housing, controls, and door parts are plastic but sit outside the cavity, so it lands at no-contact-plastic: a genuinely coating-free oven-route air fryer.
