About Cuisinart

Cuisinart is a long-standing kitchen brand. The TOA-70NAS has a stainless steel air-fry basket and a stainless easy-clean interior, plus a separate ceramic nonstick reversible grill and griddle plate. Cuisinart does not publish a formal PFAS-free disclosure, so we treat the bare stainless basket as PFAS-free by construction and mark confidence as limited.
