Quick Summary
The Tefal Easy Fry Precision EY5058 is a practical air fryer and grill for faster, crispier meals with less fuss, less added fat and no need to preheat.
What This Product Is Used For
The Tefal Easy Fry Precision EY5058 is a digital air fryer and grill designed for cooking crispy, grilled and healthier versions of everyday meals at home. It uses Tefal Extra Crisp air frying technology to help maximise crispiness while keeping food flavourful and moist, and it also includes a die cast aluminium Sizzling Grill Plate for indoor grilling with less smoke.
Compared with a conventional oven, this air fryer grill is made for quicker cooking, easier clean up and more direct control over smaller meals. It can be used for fresh or frozen foods, including chips, burgers, halloumi, falafel, jacket potatoes and chicken thighs. Users choose it over simpler air fryers when they want both air frying and grilling in one appliance, plus automatic programmes, dishwasher safe parts and recipe support from the Tefal app.
Who This Product Is Best Suited To
This product is best suited to people who want to cook regular family meals more quickly without relying on a full sized oven every time. It suits anyone who likes crispy food, grilled textures and easy digital controls, but still wants a healthier approach with less added fat.

Real World Performance and Day to Day Use
In daily use, the Tefal Easy Fry Precision EY5058 is built around convenience. The 4.2 litre basket can hold up to 1.2kg of food, making it suitable for up to 6 people, while the 8 automatic programmes help take the guesswork out of common meals. You can also set your own temperature from 80 to 200°C and use a cooking time of under 60 minutes when you want more control.
The main appeal is speed and simplicity. Tefal states that it can prepare meals 49% faster than a conventional oven and can save up to 70% energy. It is also designed to cook without preheating, which removes one of the small daily frustrations of oven cooking. For grilling, the die cast aluminium Sizzling Grill Plate helps deliver indoor grilled results with 98% less smoke, making it more practical for kitchen use.
Cleaning is another strong point. The drawer and grill plate can go straight in the dishwasher, so the product avoids the common regret of buying a kitchen appliance that is useful but awkward to clean.
Choose this if you want a digital air fryer that also grills, cooks quickly, handles family sized portions and is easier to clean after use.
Skip this if you only need a very basic small air fryer or you rarely use grill style cooking.
Why We Like This Product
The YPC Team likes this because it gives buyers a useful mix of crisp air frying and indoor grilling in one appliance, while avoiding the common mistake of buying a basic air fryer and then wishing it had more cooking options. It also helps avoid the regret of choosing a kitchen gadget that feels exciting at first but becomes annoying to clean, thanks to its dishwasher safe drawer and grill plate.

Tips for Getting the Best Performance
Use the automatic programmes when cooking familiar foods and switch to manual temperature control when you want a more specific result. Avoid overfilling the basket if you want crispier results, especially with chips or frozen foods. Use the Sizzling Grill Plate for foods where a grilled finish matters, such as burgers, halloumi or chicken. Put the drawer and grill plate in the dishwasher after use to keep cleaning simple and prevent build up over time. Use the Tefal app when you want fresh recipe ideas rather than repeating the same meals every week.
