Tefal: what it’s actually made from

Every Tefal product we have scored, with the maker’s own words about materials and what those words leave out. Average across the range: 34.6 out of 100.

We have scored 5 Tefal products. They average 34.6 out of 100 on materials, and the spread between the best and worst is 36 points.

Of those 5: not one names the surface that touches food; 5 disclose a fluoropolymer coating outright; 3 state a country of manufacture; 4 have a materials claim backed by anything other than the maker’s own word.

That spread is the thing worth noticing. The same company publishes enough about Jamie Oliver by Tefal Stainless All-In-One Pan 30cm for it to score 50, and so little about Tefal Easy Fry & Pizza Air Fryer that it scores 14. Disclosure here is a per-product decision, not a house style.

Where these sit on the site

Tefal appears in Air fryers · Cookware. The Australian and American editions are scored the same way, so a product marked AU and one marked US are directly comparable.
