Any large Air Fryers that have zero nonstick coating (especially the walls/inside of the cooking area)?

I understand there's a debate around whether or not nonstick coatings are even dangerous, especially at normal cooking temps, but the person I'm buying for literally won't work with anything that has any kind of nonstick coating (teflon, chrome plating, ceramic nanoparticles, etc.). Long story short, they have so many immunodeficiencies and chemical sensitivities in their family that I won't argue with them.

They are having a ton of trouble finding an air fryer that will work. They'd prefer a large toaster oven style unit, as the smaller ones won't work for the family.

I offered to help, and... I'm not having any luck, either. I've even directly contacted several of the large manufacturers (Chefman, Ninja/Foodi, etc.) and they so far have confirmed that every single unit they make has some kind of nonstick coating inside the oven area.

Are we completely out of luck? Does anyone know of units that have zero nonstick surfaces inside the cooking area (stainless steel is the preferred material, but with no coatings)?

If the nonstick is only on the trays or grill, they're willing to find replacements for those, but one can't exactly replace the surfaces inside the oven itself.

Thanks in advance, will give reps!

Not that I've found, and I'm always on the lookout because I have parrots. I haven't even found any that use ceramic instead of PTFE. Be careful not to mistake "PFOA Free" for "PTFE Free". PFOA Free is common and only means that they apply the PTFE without that toxic byproduct. It does not indicate whether PTFE is present. The silver lining is that after a one time burn-in PTFE is generally bird safe below 400 degrees (better quality PTFE usually has to get above that to begin breaking down and becoming harmful).

Look at turbo convection ovens. They use tempered glass. Think my dad has the Oyama brand one.
