Handle
The plastic handles create a safe cooking experience for you. The non-stick pot is dish washer safe. Tefal Cook4Me multicooker comes with a non-stick bowl that has a ceramic coating and an easy to grip plastic handle. Compared to the old-fashioned pressure cooker, it is so much easier to clean. It is very durable especially if it is not exposed to sharp surfaces.
LCD control panel
As you cook, the screen will display instructions on what to do next allowing even novice cooks to prepare delicious meals that turn out beautifully. All of the recipes and settings are managed from this control panel. The LCD Control Panel provides a visual aid so that you can choose the recipe, serving size and then follow the clearly worded instructions in order to produce your delicious meal.
The automatic timer prevents the food from getting burned in case you get engaged with something else while cooking. It turns off automatically immediately the food is ready. The Keep warm function allows your food to stay ready and not go stale for up to 90 minutes while you engage in other activities, wait for friends or family; making life easier for you. It can be programmed with a timer delay to start cooking up to 15 hours later so it is possible to prepare dinner before you go about your daily routine in the morning. A progress report is displayed on this LCD screen making you know exactly how long is left before your meal is ready.
Steaming
This is ideal for cooking rice and vegetables as it can also be used as a sieve. Like the non-stick pot, the steam basket is also dishwasher safe.They release little heat to the kitchen environment, therefore, helping keep the kitchen cool. The steam is released automatically at the end of cooking and it turns itself off. The steam basket is a great extra that comes with the Cook4Me multicooker allowing you to cook steamed foods, vegetables, fish etc.
The self-release safety valve helps to prevent any mishap in the kitchen.
Tefal CY8518 Cook4Me multicooker customer review
Very Practical, User Friendly and Good Looking
I am giving this a 5 star for all the reasons below.
Amazon literally delivered this under 2 days.
My brother has one and he’s been so happy with it.
I just got mine. and cooked my first meal using the in built cooking recipe. I cooked Veal Osso Bucco. oh boy, it came out so beautifully and tasty.
What’s really likeable about this cooker is that it is extremely easy to clean too.
There is also a mobile app thst has the list of all the recipes with steps to follow and also allows you to add a shopping list based on the ingredients of a particular meal which is super handy. Thats exactly how I already knew what to buy for cooking the meal. It is really headache free.
it really does make cooking simpler in a way that you can have a plan on what you need to buy for a particular food.
the Machine has been pre programmed for all its in built recipes which means you can just follow what it tells you to do.
Of course you can slow cook, and even manually cook your own food.
and finally it allows you to customise the quantity of each ingredients as per servings and will adjust the overall ingredients accordingly.
All and all my first cooking experience was super and im already excited about what next to cook. It is also very good looking too 😬
I used to own a Breville Fast Cooker which died after 4 years of fantastic service and i just needed a change and here i bought another fantastic product.
I hope you will buy one too and enjoy it 🙂.
