Tefal Easy Fry air fryer

The image shows a Tefal air fryer, a popular kitchen appliance known for its 'Easy Fry' technology. Tefal is a world-renowned brand that revolutionized the kitchenware market with the invention of the non-stick frying pan in the 1950s. The brand name itself is a portmanteau of the words TEFlon and ALuminium.

Tefal was founded in France by Marc Grégoire and was later acquired by Groupe SEB in 1968. While the company maintains significant research and high-end production facilities in France, the majority of its small electrical appliances, including many air fryer models like the one pictured, are manufactured in China to leverage global supply chains. Today, Tefal remains a cornerstone of the French-owned Groupe SEB, which is a global leader in small domestic equipment.
