The tray is enamel but it is PFAS free
Sorry, there was a problem.

The tray is steel with a porcelain enamel (vitreous enamel) coating. It is not bare aluminum. Independent testing and Breville documentation consistently describe it as an enamel-coated baking/roasting pan, which explains the glossy black finish and why it is easier to clean than plain steel. Does the black tray contain PTFE (Teflon) or another non-stick coating? Based on the available evidence, the black enamel tray is not PTFE/Teflon-coated. It uses a porcelain enamel coating rather than a fluoropolymer non-stick coating. Is it PFAS-free? This is where things become less certain. * The enamel tray itself is generally understood to be free of PTFE/Teflon and therefore is likely PFAS-free, but Breville does not explicitly certify that the tray is PFAS-free in its published materials. * The oven as a whole has had conflicting statements from Breville over time: * Older Breville support responses (2021–2025) stated the oven interior was PFOA-free but not PTFE-free, indicating PTFE somewhere in the appliance. * Very recent Breville support responses (2026) state that the current Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro is free of both PTFE and PFOA, suggesting the company has updated the materials used in current production. Bottom line For the black rectangular tray specifically: * ✅ Steel construction * ✅ Porcelain enamel coating * ✅ No evidence it contains PTFE/Teflon * ✅ No evidence it has a conventional non-stick fluoropolymer coating * ⚠️ Breville has not explicitly published a PFAS-free certification for that individual tray, so no one outside the company can state that with absolute certainty. If your goal is to avoid PFAS entirely, the black enamel tray is generally considered one of the safer accessories included with the oven. The stainless-steel mesh air-fry basket is also uncoated stainless steel. The accessory that has historically raised the most questions is the pizza pan, which on some production runs has been sold with a non-stick coating.
