Moulinex Easy Fry Silence EZ55 EZ57 Air Fryer Grill
Avoid until Moulinex explains its non-stick coating formula.
Moulinex keeps the EZ55 and EZ57's non-stick cooking surface formula secret and offers no PFAS verification. Standard air fryer coatings typically use Teflon-type coating-based formulas, but you won't know for certain here.

What Moulinex Easy Fry Silence Air Fryer Grill is made of, ingredients and materials
The Moulinex EZ55/EZ57 features a non-stick coated cooking surface, but the manufacturer does not publicly disclose the coating chemistry (Teflon-type coating-based, ceramic, silicone, or hybrid). This opacity is the primary safety concern, without knowing the binder system, users cannot assess Teflon-type coating off-gassing risk at high heat or potential metal leaching from substrate layers beneath the coating. The basket and heating elements are typically aluminum, which can leach if the non-stick layer degrades or if acidic foods contact bare metal.
What’s concerning
Category baseline
The starting point for this type of product, before anything specific to this product is counted.
No PFAS disclosure
No public statement from the brand about PFAS in this product.
Non-stick, chemistry undisclosed
Marketed as non-stick without stating the coating chemistry.
Teflon-type coating fume risk (off-gassing)
Non-stick coating identity is not disclosed; if Teflon-type coating-based, heating above 500 F can release toxic fumes. User cannot confirm actual composition or safe operating temperature.
Coating degradation and metal leaching
No data on coating durability or adhesion; aluminum substrate beneath non-stick layer will leach if coating flakes or wears, especially with acidic foods or metal-utensil use over time.
Inadequate product transparency
Manufacturer silence on non-stick chemistry prevents independent hazard assessment and informed consumer choice; this is a documented industry practice problem, not specific design failure.
Bacterial growth in air vents/heating element
Air fryers trap moisture and food particles in heating elements and exhaust zones; if not cleaned regularly per manual, biofilm can form, though this is user-maintenance risk rather than design hazard.
What’s reassuring
Thermal degradation of housing/electrical components
No published recalls or reports of housing melting or electrical failure in this model; standard UL/CE compliance assumed but not independently verified for this specific SKU.
How is this PFAS grade calculated?
The brand's record and disclosure
Moulinex (owned by Groupe SEB) has not issued public statements clarifying PFAS use in this air fryer line or provided independent certification (e.g., GREENGUARD, third-party PFOA testing). The company remains silent on coating composition despite rising consumer scrutiny of non-stick cookware. No major recalls or lawsuits specific to this model have entered public record, but the absence of transparency does not indicate absence of risk.
How it compares in its category
Most air fryer manufacturers (Ninja, Cosori, Instant Pot) similarly withhold detailed non-stick coating specs; Moulinex is not an outlier in secrecy but also not a leader in disclosure. Some competitors offer ceramic-coated or stainless-steel basket options with published testing data. This model falls in the middle-market convenience tier with typical opacity rather than premium transparency.
If you buy it
Do not exceed 400-450 F (200-230 C) to reduce Teflon-type coating off-gassing risk if the coating contains Teflon-family coating. Avoid metal utensils and abrasive scrubbing that accelerate coating breakdown; use silicone or wood tools. Inspect the basket monthly for scratches, peeling, or discoloration that signal coating failure; if found, retire the unit. Hand-wash only (do not dishwash), avoid prolonged soaking, and never preheat empty at high heat.
