Our Place Wonder Oven 6-in-1 Air Fryer Toaster Oven
A non-stick coating of unstated type, with a brand PFAS statement we have not verified.
Our Place says its ceramic non-stick coating is made without PFAS, including Teflon-type coating and PFOA. We record that as an unverified brand claim. Its record describes a non-stick coating of unstated type, which is still counted.

What’s concerning
Category baseline
The starting point for this type of product, before anything specific to this product is counted.
Disclosed non-fluorinated coating
Coating is named and the brand states it is made without PFAS.
Teflon-type coating fume risk (thermal degradation)
If the unspecified nonstick coating is Teflon-type coating-based, overheating or damaged coating can release fumes. Our Place has not ruled this out. Standard precaution, avoid empty preheating above manufacturer specs and replace if coating visibly flakes.
Coating degradation and microparticle ingestion
Any nonstick coating degrades with use and temperature cycling. Without knowing durability specifications or the base chemistry, the rate and composition of shed particles cannot be assessed. Heavy or daily use may accelerate wear.
Ceramic coating brittleness (if applicable)
If the nonstick coating is ceramic rather than Teflon-type coating, ceramic coatings are less durable and more prone to chipping in repeated heating cycles. No indication Our Place uses ceramic, but the lack of disclosure means this risk is unquantified.
What’s reassuring
Brand-stated PFAS-free
The brand states this product is PFAS-free. We have not verified the claim.
Aluminum leaching from interior surfaces
Stainless steel does not leach aluminum. If the interior substrate under the nonstick coating is aluminum, acidic foods may reach it if the coating fails, but no interior material has been disclosed.
Electrical component safety and material off-gassing
The stainless steel housing and electrical assembly present no known material-based chemical hazards. Standard appliance electrical safety and ventilation during use apply.
The full breakdown
What it's made of and why it matters
The Wonder Oven has a stainless steel exterior, which is not a material linked to PFAS under normal use. The interior features a nonstick coating, but Our Place has not publicly specified whether it is Teflon-type coating-based (traditional Teflon), ceramic, silicone, or another formulation. This opacity is the core issue, nonstick coatings vary widely in thermal stability and leaching risk, and without knowing the exact type, assessing safety above the PFAS level becomes difficult. Stainless steel components themselves do not leach problematic metals under typical cooking conditions.
The brand's record and disclosure
Our Place markets the Wonder Oven as PFAS-free, but this claim has not been independently verified by third-party testing or published certification (e.g., GREENGUARD, NSF). The brand has not disclosed the specific chemistry of the nonstick coating on their product pages or safety documentation we have on record. This lack of transparency is unusual for a premium-priced cookware brand and makes it harder for consumers to cross-check the safety claim. Our Place does not appear to have a history of major recalls for this product line, but the coating formulation remains a black box.
How it compares in its category
Most air fryer toaster ovens in the mid to premium segment use either Teflon-type coating-based nonstick or ceramic coatings, often without detailed disclosure. The Our Place Wonder Oven is priced higher than budget alternatives ($300+) and marketed as a design and lifestyle product, which typically correlates with better material selection, but not necessarily better transparency. Competitors like Breville and Cuisinart tend to specify their coating types (often Teflon-type coating with proprietary durability claims or ceramic). The Our Place vagueness is a relative weakness in a category where buyers often cannot see inside the cavity.
If you buy it
Do not preheat empty or exceed the manufacturer's stated maximum temperature, as this stresses any nonstick coating and may increase fume risk if it is Teflon-type coating. Use only silicone, wood, or plastic utensils to avoid coating scratches; visible flaking or peeling is a signal to stop use. Hand-wash the interior and avoid abrasive scouring pads. If the nonstick surface degrades noticeably within the first 1-2 years of normal use, contact Our Place, as this may indicate a defect or inadequate coating formulation.
