Tefal

4 Tefal models on file, 1500–2020 W, 4.2–15 L — 33 cook times in total, each taken from Tefal's own manual and cited on the model page.

What Tefal's charts look like as a set

The range on file. 4 models, split 3 single basket and 1 oven-style. They run 1500–2020 W and 4.2–15 L, with dials topping out at ~392 °F–~446 °F. The median Tefal here draws 1675 W against 1700 W across every brand on the site. 1 of them has a preheat setting, which matters because a chart written for a preheated machine and one written for a cold start are not measuring the same thing — the model pages say which is which.

What is documented, and what isn't. 33 cook times from Tefal's own manuals, covering 10 of the 18 foods on this site.

Short or long against the rest. Of the 33 Tefal figures that another manufacturer also publishes a figure for, 21 land inside the band the other brands cover, 4 are shorter than anything any other brand publishes, and 8 are longer. That leans long: on those foods, a Tefal chart keeps the food in past the point any other manufacturer would. Which of them is right is not something this site decides — the register keeps them side by side instead.

Where Tefal contradicts itself. Two Tefal manuals give the same food time ranges that cannot both be right. This is not a comparison across brands — it is one manufacturer's charts disagreeing with each other:
