PFAS in Toaster Ovens, Which Brands Grade Best and Worst

Based on available materials and public disclosure data, the Cuisinart Toaster Oven Broiling Pan with Rack and the Breville Enamel Baking Pan for the Smart Oven BOV800XL post the highest scores in our toaster oven accessory dataset, each landing a Good grade at 65 out of 100 in our model-based estimate. Nearly everything else we reviewed in this category, including several other Cuisinart, Oster, Ninja, and Breville pans, scores Bad at 15 out of 100, driven mostly by nonstick coatings and construction choices that our model flags as higher concern for PFAS-related chemistry.

This guide breaks down every graded toaster oven pan and tray we have in our database, explains what separates the two Good-grade products from the rest of the pack, and gives you a practical shortlist if you are shopping for replacement bakeware. As always, these grades are model-based estimates built from materials and public disclosure, not laboratory certainty, and no grade here should be read as a claim that any product is "PFAS-free" or "safe" in an absolute sense. Where a brand markets a product as PFAS-free, we say so explicitly and flag whether that claim is brand-stated or third-party verified.

The clear leader, based on available data

Of the fourteen toaster oven products we have graded, only two clear the Good threshold, and both hit exactly 65 out of 100 in our model. The Cuisinart Toaster Oven Broiling Pan with Rack is a stainless steel broiling pan and rack combo. Materials and public disclosure data available to us suggest a construction profile with fewer of the PFAS-associated red flags our model weighs, such as nonstick fluoropolymer coatings. Cuisinart does not market this particular pan around a PFAS-free claim as far as we can find, so its score is driven by what the product is made of rather than any marketing statement. That absence of a coating-based nonstick claim is itself notable, since it is the coated Cuisinart products in this same lineup that score at the bottom.

The Breville Enamel Baking Pan for the Smart Oven BOV800XL is the second Good-grade product, and it is instructive because it comes from the same brand that also makes two of the worst-scoring products in this list. Its enamel-coated surface appears to be the key differentiator versus the Breville pans that score Bad. Enamel and plain stainless steel are generally treated more favorably in our model than fluoropolymer-based nonstick coatings, since fluoropolymer nonstick surfaces (like PTFE-type coatings) are the category most associated with PFAS chemistry in cookware and bakeware. This is a materials-based inference, not a certified lab finding, and Breville's own marketing for this pan does not appear to foreground a PFAS-free claim in what we reviewed.

Why nonstick coatings dominate the Bad tier

Look down the Bad column in the table above and a pattern jumps out immediately, nearly every product description includes the word "nonstick." The Cuisinart Chef's Classic Nonstick Toaster Oven Baking Pan, the Cuisinart Baking Pan TOA-60BP, all three graded Ninja trays and sheet pans, all six graded Oster bakeware pieces, and both remaining Breville pans share this trait. Each lands at 15 out of 100 in our model, our lowest Bad-tier score in this dataset. This is a strong illustration of why brand name alone tells you very little. Cuisinart and Breville each have one product in the Good tier and multiple products in the Bad tier. The deciding factor in our model is the coating and base material, not the logo on the box.

Individual product notes

Cuisinart Toaster Oven Broiling Pan with Rack, Good, 65/100

Materials, Stainless steel broiling pan and rack. Brand claims, Cuisinart markets this as a durable broiling accessory; we did not find an explicit PFAS-free claim attached to this specific product in the materials we reviewed. Pros, Higher score in our model relative to nearly every other product in this category, simple metal construction, dishwasher-friendly according to typical Cuisinart accessory listings. Cons, A 65/100 is Good, not a perfect score, and our grading reflects estimates from available materials and disclosure, not an independent lab test. Broiling pans can still carry residues from manufacturing processes not captured in public data.

Breville Enamel Baking Pan for the Smart Oven BOV800XL, Good, 65/100

Materials, Enamel-coated steel baking pan designed for Breville's Smart Oven line. Brand claims, Positioned as an official accessory for the BOV800XL; we did not identify a formal third-party PFAS-free certification tied to this SKU. Pros, Enamel coating tends to score better than fluoropolymer nonstick in our model, purpose-built fit for a popular toaster oven. Cons, Enamel can chip with heavy use, which may expose underlying metal over time, and this score is a materials-based estimate rather than a lab-confirmed result.

Cuisinart Chef's Classic Nonstick Toaster Oven Baking Pan, Bad, 15/100

Materials, Nonstick-coated baking pan. Brand claims, Marketed around nonstick convenience and easy food release. Pros, Easier cleanup than bare metal, widely available. Cons, Nonstick coating puts this at the bottom of our scoring range, a stark contrast to Cuisinart's own broiling pan above.

Cuisinart Baking Pan TOA-60BP, Bad, 15/100

Materials, Coated baking pan sized for compact Cuisinart toaster ovens. Brand claims, Sold as a direct-fit replacement accessory. Pros, Exact-fit convenience for specific Cuisinart models. Cons, Same low score as other coated Cuisinart bakeware in this dataset.

Ninja Foodi Digital Air Fry Oven Crumb Tray 100SG100, Bad, 15/100

Materials, Coated crumb tray for the Foodi Digital Air Fry Oven. Brand claims, Sold as an official replacement part. Pros, Purpose-built fit, catches crumbs and drippings effectively per typical use. Cons, Scores in the same low tier as Ninja's sheet pans, suggesting a coating-driven pattern across the product line.

Ninja Foodi Digital Air Fry Oven Premium Nonstick Sheet Pan 113SH100, Bad, 15/100

Materials, "Premium" nonstick sheet pan. Brand claims, Marketed on nonstick performance. Pros, Food release and easy cleaning are the stated benefits. Cons, The word "premium" does not correspond to a higher score in our model; it scores identically to the crumb tray above.

Ninja Foodi XL Oven Premium Nonstick Sheet Pan, Bad, 15/100

Materials, Larger-format nonstick sheet pan for the XL oven. Brand claims, Same premium nonstick positioning as the standard-size pan. Pros, Larger cooking surface for bigger batches. Cons, Same Bad-tier score, reinforcing that size and branding do not change the underlying materials profile.

Oster Greystone 4 Piece Nonstick Carbon Steel Bakeware Set, Bad, 15/100

Materials, Carbon steel base with nonstick coating, sold as a four-piece set. Brand claims, Marketed on durability and nonstick ease of use. Pros, Set format covers multiple pan sizes in one purchase. Cons, Lowest scoring tier in our model, consistent across the whole Oster nonstick lineup.

Sunbeam / Oster Toaster Oven Baking Pan, Bad, 15/100

Materials, Standard coated baking pan sold under the shared Sunbeam / Oster branding. Brand claims, Positioned as a basic replacement accessory. Pros, Budget-friendly and widely compatible with older toaster oven models. Cons, Same Bad-tier score as newer Oster products, suggesting this pattern is not new.

Oster 4 Piece Nonstick Sturdy Carbon Steel Bakeware Set, Bad, 15/100

Materials, Nonstick carbon steel, near-identical profile to the Greystone set. Brand claims, Marketed on sturdiness and nonstick performance. Pros, Multi-piece value set. Cons, Scores at the bottom of our range, same as the rest of Oster's nonstick catalog.

Oster Teston Platinum Collection Nonstick Cookie Sheet, Bad, 15/100

Materials, Nonstick-coated cookie sheet marketed under Oster's "Platinum Collection" name. Brand claims, Premium branding tied to nonstick coating quality. Pros, Marketed as a step up in the Oster line. Cons, Premium branding does not translate to a better score in our model; it lands in the same tier as budget Oster pans.

Oster 19.5" x 12.75" Carbon Steel Nonstick Cookie Sheet Set, Bad, 15/100

Materials, Carbon steel nonstick cookie sheets sold as a set. Brand claims, Marketed on size and nonstick convenience. Pros, Larger cooking area. Cons, Same Bad-tier score as every other Oster product graded.

Breville Baking Pan SP0002643, Bad, 15/100

Materials, Coated baking pan, official Breville replacement part number. Brand claims, Sold as a direct-fit accessory for specific Breville toaster oven models. Pros, Exact-fit convenience. Cons, Scores far below Breville's own enamel pan, underscoring how much coating type matters within a single brand.

Breville Baking Pan SP0016257, Bad, 15/100

Materials, Coated baking pan, another official Breville part number. Brand claims, Positioned similarly to SP0002643 as a direct-fit accessory. Pros, Purpose-built compatibility. Cons, Same Bad-tier score, reinforcing the pattern seen across the rest of this list.

What to avoid

Any toaster oven pan or tray marketed heavily around "nonstick" performance without disclosure of the specific coating chemistry, since in this dataset nonstick-coated products consistently land in the Bad tier at 15/100.
Marketing language like "Premium" or "Platinum Collection" used to describe a nonstick coating. In our data these labels do not correspond to a better score than basic nonstick products from the same brand.
Assuming a brand name guarantees a grade. Cuisinart and Breville each have one Good-tier product and multiple Bad-tier products in this same category, so the coating and base material matter far more than the logo.
Treating any grade, high or low, as a certified lab result. All scores here are model-based estimates built from available materials and public disclosure data, and they should inform your decision rather than replace your own judgment.

If you are trying to reduce potential nonstick coating exposure across your kitchen more broadly, it is worth reviewing our separate guides on cast iron skillets and non-stick knife sets, since coating chemistry concerns are not unique to toaster ovens.

Our pick

Based on available materials and data, the Cuisinart Toaster Oven Broiling Pan with Rack is the strongest option in our dataset, scoring Good at 65/100 in our model-based estimate. The Breville Enamel Baking Pan for the Smart Oven BOV800XL is a close second and a reasonable alternative if you already own a compatible Smart Oven. Neither product should be read as "PFAS-free" or guaranteed lower-risk in an absolute sense; they simply score better than every other toaster oven accessory we have graded so far, largely because they avoid the fluoropolymer nonstick coatings that drag down the rest of the list. If your current toaster oven pan is a nonstick model from Cuisinart, Breville, Ninja, or Oster, cross-check it against our full product finder to see its specific grade before assuming it falls in the same tier as its siblings.

Frequently asked questions

Does a Good grade mean a toaster oven pan is PFAS-free?

No. A Good grade in our system, such as the 65/100 scores held by the Cuisinart broiling pan and the Breville enamel pan, reflects our model-based estimate from available materials and public disclosure data. It means the product scores better than peers in this category, not that it is confirmed PFAS-free by an independent lab. We avoid stating that any product is "safe," and instead describe higher-scoring items as lower concern relative to the rest of the category.

Why do nonstick-coated pans score so much lower than plain metal or enamel pans?

In our model, fluoropolymer-based nonstick coatings (the type commonly used on toaster oven bakeware) are treated as a higher-concern material category, since this type of coating has historically been associated with PFAS chemistry in cookware manufacturing. Plain stainless steel and enamel-coated surfaces do not carry this same coating profile, which is why products like the Cuisinart broiling pan and the Breville enamel pan score substantially higher than nonstick pans from the same or other brands.

Is there a proven health risk from using a Bad-graded toaster oven pan?

Our grades reflect materials and disclosure patterns, not confirmed health outcomes, and any association between PFAS exposure and health effects discussed in public research is not the same as proof of causation for a specific product. If you are concerned about coating wear or degradation over time, consider rotating to enamel or stainless steel bakeware and consult our broader whole-house filter and product finder resources for related PFAS-reduction options in the kitchen and home.
