This document describes the Tefal Easy Fry Grill & Steam, a 3-in-1 healthy air fryer designed for air frying, grilling, and steaming. It highlights its versatility and ease of use for preparing a variety of meals.
The Tefal Easy Fry Grill & Steam is a multi-functional kitchen appliance that combines three cooking methods: air frying, grilling, and steaming. This allows users to prepare a wide range of dishes with a single device, promoting healthier cooking options.
Air Fry Function: The air fry function uses hot air circulation to cook food, resulting in crispy textures with little to no oil. This is ideal for dishes typically deep-fried, such as fries, chicken nuggets, and various snacks. The device offers preset programs for common air-fried items like fries, chicken, nuggets, fish, roast, vegetables, and cake. For optimal air frying, the flat side of the die-cast plate should be used. Cooking times and temperatures vary depending on the food type and quantity. For example, 1200g of fries can be air-fried at 200°C for 30-35 minutes, while 800g of frozen fries takes 15-18 minutes at 200°C. Smaller items like 400g of spring rolls require 13-15 minutes at 200°C, and 600g of chicken wings take 15-17 minutes at 180°C. For desserts like 8 pieces of muffins, the recommended setting is 15-18 minutes at 180°C.
Grill Function: The grill function allows users to achieve perfectly grilled results, complete with char marks, using the "grill grid" side of the die-cast plate. This function is suitable for meats, fish, and vegetables. The device includes specific grill programs with recommended cooking times and temperatures. For instance, 250g of steak can be grilled at 200°C for 4-6 minutes, 300g of chicken breast for 10 minutes at 200°C, and 400g of fish for 10-12 minutes at 200°C. Smaller portions like 200g of vegetables can be grilled at 170°C for 3-5 minutes. For best grilling results, it is recommended to preheat the grilling plate at 200°C for 15 minutes. Turning the meat halfway through cooking is advised for optimal marking and even cooking. The device indicates when it is preheating for the grill function.
Steam Function: The steam function provides a gentle cooking method that preserves nutrients and moisture, making it ideal for delicate foods like fish and vegetables. To use the steam function, the water tank must be filled to the maximum level with purified water. The device offers preset programs for steaming, such as 1000g of fish at 100°C for 20-25 minutes, 800g of vegetables at 100°C for 20-25 minutes, and 1000g of rice at 100°C for 20-25 minutes.
Air Fry + Steam Function: This combined function allows for simultaneous air frying and steaming, offering a unique cooking experience. For example, 800g of fish can be cooked with 3 minutes of steam at 100°C followed by 8 minutes of air fry at 160°C. A larger portion of 1kg of chicken can be cooked with 30 minutes of air fry at 200°C and 15 minutes of steam at 100°C. This combination can result in dishes that are crispy on the outside and tender and moist on the inside.
The Tefal Easy Fry Grill & Steam is designed with user convenience in mind, featuring a digital touchscreen and intuitive controls.
Digital Touchscreen: The device is equipped with a digital touchscreen that displays cooking settings, including temperature and time. It allows users to easily select programs, adjust settings, and monitor the cooking process.
Manual Functions: In addition to preset programs, the device offers manual controls for temperature and time, giving users full flexibility to customize their cooking. The temperature can be adjusted using "+" and "-" buttons, and a timer function is available.
Programs: The device comes with a variety of preset programs for different food types, simplifying the cooking process. These include programs for Fries, Chicken, Nuggets, Fish, Roast, Vegetables, and Cake. The specific programs for Steam and Grill are also clearly indicated.
Water Tank: A removable water tank is integrated into the design, specifically for the steam function. It is important to fill this tank with purified water to the maximum level before launching any program that requires steaming.
Die-cast Plate: The device includes a versatile die-cast plate that serves dual purposes. The flat side is used for air frying, while the "grill grid" side is used for grilling, providing distinct cooking surfaces for different methods.
Preheating: For optimal grilling results, the device recommends preheating the grilling plate at 200°C for 15 minutes. The device indicates when it is preheating, ensuring users start cooking at the correct temperature.
Cooking Tips: The manual provides helpful tips for using the device, such as turning meat halfway through grilling for optimal marking and ensuring the water tank is filled for steam functions.

Maintaining the Tefal Easy Fry Grill & Steam is straightforward, with features designed to ensure longevity and hygiene.
Cleaning Water Circuit and Descaling: The device includes a feature for cleaning the water circuit and descaling, which is crucial for maintaining the efficiency of the steam function and preventing mineral buildup. The device will blink to indicate when descaling is needed, prompting users to follow the instructions for this maintenance task.
Lack of Water Indicator: The device has an indicator for "Lack of water," which alerts users when the water tank needs to be refilled, especially during steam functions, preventing damage and ensuring continuous operation.
