Our take
If you cook for a family and want to ditch nonstick entirely, the Breville is the move. The stainless steel interior and wire racks mean nothing to chip or degrade, and it nearly replaces your wall oven.
For people who hate the look of plastic air fryers as much as the nonstick coatings, the Cosori Iconic is the answer. The stainless interior wipes clean without the fragility of traditional nonstick.
