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 more

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 more

I am using C4Me+ most days, using mostly the Mains Recipes setting. I began following recipes as given or just using individual pre-sets from ingredients list - always with good results. Then I began adapting - adding exchanging ingredients but usually keeping to similar ones and amounts as the in-built recipes are configured for weight volume and fluid content etc. So, as a cooker it is *brilliant* for my uses.

It does NOT have a slow cook function and it cannot be adjusted for temperature. But the Manual and Ingredients functions can be adj...Read more

I purchased my Cook4me+ in October 2017. Late last year I noticed the ceramic coating peeling around the rim and the bottom of the bowl where the product locks itself and in between the grooves on the bottom of the bowl, over the months it got worse, to where it is really noticeable. I contacted Tefal in April 2020 and asked for a replacement bowl. I was told that as the appliance was over 2 years old, I had to purchase a new bowl and they provided the link for me to do so. Are you serious TEFAL, that is customer service???? The appliance ge...Read more

The machine runs well and heats up quite quickly. parts are easy to clean, and can all be put into the dishwasher.

The lid and locking mechanism are sturdy, and locks you out from being able to open when under pressure. from a few uses the pressure relief valve is reliable and does not vent too quickly, so is safe to have around the kitchen without constant monitoring.

The only criticism is the "recipes' functions. The first recipe we tried was a "beef stew with beer". the recipe was incomplete in the machine, and only instructed you to put i...Read more

I'll admit it, I was scared of pressure cookers - you know in the 70's on the stove top aargh. It is love at first sight for this handsome beast. So easy to use, can brown off, slow cook or simmer as well as pressure cook. I mainly use mine for meaty dishes - Osso Buco, beef cheeks, massamun curry, lamb and pork shoulder, Irish stew. I can be a bit late and slow to start cooking so this machine saves my family from eating dinner at 9pm. It is awesome for making stocks as all the flavour is captured within - no evaporation. Love the keep warm fu...Read more

I am using my Tefal Cook4Me almost every day. It is so user friendly and the build in recipe's and cooking instruction/guide is just amazing. I have made beautiful Risotto's, curry's, roast's, soup's & beautiful dessert's. The family love this & my daughter is also excited to learn to cook for the first time ever! I love how the food is cooked almost to perfection every time & so easy to clean with no greasy after smells or retaining left over flavours for my next dish either. The controls are so easy to understand & use also which makes i...Read more

I use the Tefal Cook4Me+ almost every day. I even bought an extra pot insert so that I can cook 2 food items in a very short time. I make almost anything in it from boiling vegetables, soup, curry and rice you can even do pull apart roasts. I run a little cafe and it helps me cook tasty food in a very short time.
It is very easy to clean and there isn't any smells or flavours after use. I have actually convinced other family members to buy this and they are loving it as they are time poor and the recipe instructions are a bonus as it actually t...Read more

When you unpack the Cook4Me it looks like a small satellite. Once n the bench top the best part is, everything is self contained. There are no additional boxes, racks or satchels, just the appliance, instruction manual and a recipe book. (They are also available online). The same recipes are stored in the control panel but the book is handy for quick reference. In fact the paper recipe book only tells you the ingredients and quantities, the rest of the information you need is stored in the appliance itself. There are only two main controls, a r...Read more

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...Read more

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...Read more
