Substandard after sales service
I use my pressure cooker at least twice a week and love it usability. However I have found that when you need to fix your cooker the after sale service is not up to standard as a spare part can take up to six weeks to get to you.

Great product, but ...
I have the non + version of this appliance and I have loved it. I started off keeping things simple with the inbuilt recipes, then downloaded the app and got comfortable using the manual function and now I use it with confidence mostly on manual mode for things from eggs, rice, dumplings, curries, risotto, pulled pork (!), soups and more.
What I love - simple, easy, safe and produces great results (most of the time) in super quick time. It's perfect for the person who is just starting out with pressure cooking. I love that the bowl has handle...
Read mores which means I can safely lift the bowl out of the unit without having to get tea towel. What I don't love: 1. The bowl! I love that nothing sticks to it but ... I have never used metal utensils but I do use the included steamer basket that has metal legs. I've noticed that the steamer has scratched the bottom of bowl which means I either need to ditch my cook4me or fork out money to replace the bowl, only to have the same thing happen again. I wish the bowl was stainless steel. 2. The fact that I can't change the sealing ring myself - I have to send it into Tefal to do it. 3. It doesn't allow for me to do natural release. I have to turn it off at the wall before it ends if I don't want it to do a quick release.Purchased in September 2018 at The Good Guys.

Extreme buyer's remorse for this one
Was looking for a replacement for our old slow cooker. Many friends had raved about their pressure cookers and purchased this based on glowing reviews as a present for my wife.
This cooker might be ok if you follow the (extremely basic) recipes in the app. I have cooked two recipes in using the app and they were ok, but nothing to write home about. We also tend to cook with more vegetables and ingredients than these recipes provide for, so tried out some of the manual cooking features. Unfortunately, this thing has ruined more meals than ...
Read moreit has successfully cooked! We have tried on several occasions to use the manual setting ie: choose a cooking time for the ingredients that you put in. Every time it heats up and then errors out saying that we need to clean the lid. Every time we have to dissassemble the thing clean the valves, ball, covers and probes, drain the lid, dry them off and try again. Only for it to error out again. - And then say that there is not enough liquid. By this time the contents appear like thin soup! I don't know if this is a faulty unit - it certainly sounds like it, but this thing has caused so much stress in our kitchen that my wife never wants to look at it again - I frankly don't want to either. It seems to me that this product has a pretty narrow target audience - someone who wants to cook simple meals fast and have the thing tell you what to do and when. If you want to do anything more complicated or adventurous, you may be sorely disappointed - especially when you consider the price of the thing!1 comment

Perfect for Paella
Got this as a Christmas gift! RED for Regal! I use this to cook Paella! Been using this since early January. Quick and easy to clean and use! Got a manual and sample recipes to cook. The "new" smell tend to linger a bit and have to wash it a couple of times. After use, the scent of the dish you cooked won't linger if you clean it properly. Satisfied with the product's performance. I tried to cook quinoa, fish and other dishes here, my fave so far is the Paella! :) This multi-cooker can bake as well, haven't tried that option yet.

Best cooking applianceI have ever owned!
So easy to use. Detailed instructions on built in recipes on the screen and it runs you through each step by step. The appliance even has a pre-browning function so you only need to use the one pot. I am recommending this to all my family. Very quick, easy to clean and operate. Perfect for the busy person to cook perfect meals in a flash.

Unpredictable
I bought this machine in July and am having constant troubleshooting issues lately. The recipes are very much hit and miss but I got used to making pasta and risottos well after a while . I don’t like how bulky the machine is and it’s not attractive looking being such a big appliance. I’m waiting for warranty to get back to me as last few times it has stopped working in the middle of cooking food. I think the browner & timer & keep warm features are the best as for the recipes it’s a trial and error.

The red is beautiful
The cook for me plus red is so good looking, just looking at it makes you feel hungry... A great thing to show off in your kitchen as it stands out. Bought it for my mother however she doesn't seem to use it that often, I guess it just isn't as quick and easy and she would have liked... Or maybe she's just not into the recipes they have. Wouldn't know the difference between a meal cooked in the Tefal compared to a typical home cooked meal taking hours.

Tasty inbuilt recipes but frustrating to troubleshoot
I’ve been testing the Tefal Cook4Me+ multicooker for the past month under the Ambassador programme.
THINGS I LIKED ABOUT THIS APPLIANCE
*It rarely burns food. I’ve used the browning setting extensively – it’s fantastic for browning onions, mushrooms and tomatoes without blackening them.
*It makes the most of cheaper cuts of meat when used on the manual pressure cook setting – they come out tender and tasty. Fresh corn and frozen veggies also retain their flavour on manual pressure cooked.
*It’s ideal for making quick and easy meals like om...

Awesome pressure cooker, great rice, and recipe-guidance built right in.
Pressure cooking significantly speeds up food cooking, particularly large quantities. I upgraded from another electric pressure cooker (Midea) to this spaceship looking device which has guided built-in recipes and a colour screen.
The step-by-step recipes all turned out great, such as it guides you to "brown" the food when applicable in the machine to improve the flavour before adding the rest of the ingredients. You can choose to cook smaller or larger quantities. The cooking consistency of larger items was great and it was generally easy to...

Welcome to the world of join the dots cooking!
Imagine a cooking device that lets you pressure cook in the usual way. Now imagine that it comes with a book with 150 or so recipes with ingredients for up to 6 people, but no instructions! Then imagine it also has a free smartphone app which has shopping lists and suggestions for meals like tonight's dinner. Just as a bonus, imagine that the machine itself TELLS YOU how to cook that dinner! Got all that? You have just imagined what the Cook4Me can do!
Cook4Me is a "smart" pressure cooker, so it can do all the things that a pressure cooker does...

Versatile little wonder, especially good for those with limited space or to balance out with traditional cooking
The Cook4me is an electric multi-cooker that not only can roast, cook and steam, it can also be used to cook products such as meat or vegetables under pressure in rapid time. As per the description, it can also cook everything from starters and mains to desserts. In the classic cooking mode, you are able to do gentle cooking, simmering and browning. You can also reheat and keep meals warm.
The handling is quite easy once you get the hang of it. It contains about 150 pre-set recipes that you will get guided through step by step. Every single st...
Read moreep is shown on the display. After using it for a limited time, I can say that I love the versatility, even though the guided cooking is new for me as a self-described hobby chef - as this is quite a contrast to my traditional cooking, which is usually using multiple pots and pans, or a wok and other kitchen utensils. More importantly, I am not even used to using recipes much at all (ha!) and I don't usually shop for ingredients based on recipes, either (since this forces you into buying when things are usually not the cheapest, or it can be challenging to find what you need after choosing a particular recipe). What I normally do instead is buy in bulk the produce in season or what is on special and look for recipes where they can be used, or I simply know what to cook with them. So to combine both cooking concepts, I will need to stay flexible with the recipes. Cooking with this multi-cooker therefore is a completely different set up, which I ended up liking as an alternative to cooking in a more lazy way. The dishes that are coming out of this device are not only a dream in terms of taste, the time savings during the actual cooking is a huge advantage. Simply a great device that will have a permanent place in our kitchen from now on, at least for those days where we don't feel like cooking the traditional way. The Cook4Me+ is well-made and the cooking bowl is wonderfully easy to clean thanks to its Teflon coating. The handling is very simple and almost self-explanatory - but a look in the user manual shows again the full range of what the product can do. The steaming of vegetables is also good for preserving the nutrient content of the food. They came out perfect, not overcooked and not too crunchy!OzbakerSouth Australia, Australia

Perfect so far
Only had this machine a couple of days but what I've cooked in it has been perfect.. even when I've made changes to programmed recipes (but maintaining dry to liquid ratios). Made a stunning Beef Casserole (never thought I'd call a casserole 'stunning'.. but it was. ) Very impressed by the speed with which it gets up to full pressure (a few minutes) compared to 15 mins on my old cooker.
Very happy with this purchase. Will update if things change over time.
May 6th. Update... Happy to report that everything I've made in this machine has turned out perfectly including both programmed recipes and adaptions of my own recipes.
Still very happy with this purchase.
