OUR PLACE Wonder Oven Electric Countertop 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 OUR PLACE Wonder Oven Electric Countertop is made of, ingredients and materials
The Wonder Oven has a stainless steel exterior and body, which is chemically stable and does not leach metals under normal cooking conditions. The interior features a non-stick coating of unspecified type, which is the primary chemical exposure point; Our Place states it is PFAS-free, but the exact Teflon-family coating or alternative used has not been independently verified or disclosed in public materials. Heating non-stick surfaces can release volatile compounds if the coating is damaged or overheated, making transparency about the coating material essential for user safety.
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.
Non-stick coating degradation and fume release
The interior non-stick coating type is unspecified. If damaged or overheated beyond specified limits, any Teflon-family coating or replacement non-stick alternative can release volatile organic compounds; risk increases if the coating flakes or shows wear.
PFAS
Our Place claims the coating is PFAS-free, but the actual Teflon-family coating or substitute material has not been disclosed or independently verified through published test reports or certifications, leaving the claim unconfirmed.
Source, ATSDR ↗Thermal degradation of interior coating if misused
Consistent exposure to temperatures above the manufacturer's recommendation or prolonged empty preheating can accelerate coating breakdown; the risk is highest if the coating composition is not certified for high-temperature stability.
What’s reassuring
Brand-stated PFAS-free
The brand states this product is PFAS-free. We have not verified the claim.
Stainless steel leaching (low risk)
Stainless steel bodies do not leach nickel, chromium, or other metals under normal cooking conditions; no safety concerns are established for the exterior material.
The full breakdown
The brand's record and disclosure
Our Place markets the Wonder Oven as PFAS-free and has positioned itself in the clean-cookware segment, but the brand has not published detailed material safety data sheets or third-party certification (e.g., GreenGuard, NSF) for this product that we could locate. The non-stick coating formulation remains proprietary and undisclosed, which limits independent verification of the PFAS claim. No significant recalls or safety controversies for this specific model are on record as of our review.
How it compares in its category
Most electric countertop ovens and air fryers use either Teflon-type coating (Teflon) or ceramic-based non-stick coatings; models at higher price points increasingly claim PFAS-free or ceramic alternatives. The Wonder Oven sits in the premium consumer segment with an emphasis on design and brand ethos rather than certified material transparency, which is common for this brand but less transparent than some competitors who publish coating composition or third-party test results. Stainless steel bodies are standard across the category and pose minimal chemical risk.
If you buy it
Use cooking temperatures within the manufacturer's stated limits (typically under 500°F for non-stick coatings) and avoid preheating empty for extended periods, which can degrade any non-stick layer. Do not use metal utensils or abrasive cleaning; hand wash with soft sponges to preserve the interior coating. If the coating shows visible wear, chipping, or peeling, discontinue use to prevent flaking into food. Request or search for the coating material specification from Our Place customer service if you have sensitivities or want additional reassurance beyond their PFAS-free statement.
