Questions & Answers

When using the classic cooking function should the life be closed

Julie.L
Julie.L · 

No.
Also leave a gap if you wish to close the lid down somewhat. eg leave the stirring spoon sticking out.

I would think that If you do close it (accidentally) AND there is sufficient fluid inside AND pressure builds up, then it may need letting it slowly depressurise by turning C4M+ off. Sometimes you can catch it in time by turning the main top lid knob. (or attempting to turn - but no force!)

There is NO separate Steam Release access as it is automatically programmed into the other functions.

If there was insufficient liquid in your Classic cooking job AND the lid was closed, it would trip the error message that means "insufficient water" and auto depressurise.)

I'm european (Romanian). My Tefal Cook4Me+ model is CY851130 and the simmer function does not work as I expect it to.

I expect simmering to allow me to reduce the liquid. However, after 10-20 minutes of water simmering, I don't observer a difference in liquid level. There are only a few vapors and the temperature stays under 75 (tested with a laser thermometer)

The water with simmering program is reaching temperatures similar with "gentle cooking" program, only suitable for poaching.

Am I missing something, or it could be a defect?

Tefal · 

Hi Ciprian, thanks for reaching out. We recommend using the browning function if you would like to reduce the liquid. Unfortunately, we do not have that model # here in Australia so it would be best to reach out to your local Tefal to verify the temperature.

Warm regards,
Tefal Australia team

Thank you. Based on product description and user manual, model CY851130 is equivalant to CY851560 / CY851860.

Just wondering what happened to my review here!

We would not trust it to cook while no one to supervise it. Failed and gave it away. Our 55 year old Hawkins Pressure UNIVERSAL LGH 2340 AG cooker is still being used and reliable..

Details

Features

  • Functions as a pressure cooker, steamer, rice cooker, and saute, allowing you to simmer, brown, bake. There’s the option to use either the pre-programmed recipes, or a Manual function.
  • A 6-litre capacity provides plenty of cooking space to make meals for 4-5 people.
  • Equipped with over 150 meals, including starters, mains and desserts. Follow the instructions that appear on the LCD screen. When your part is done, you can set-and-forget the multi cooker, which will then ‘cook for you.’
  • The Tefal Cook4Me+ is designed to take the guesswork out of cooking - adjusting the time, pressure and temperature. It will also inform you of the quantities of ingredients needed, after you program it to know how many people or guests you’re cooking for.
  • Each pre-programmed recipe varies in cooking time, with plenty of recipes able to be prepared under 10 minutes.
  • Recipes are also available on the Cook4Me app, allowing you to ponder what will be on the dinner menu before arriving home at night.

Points of Praise

  • Above all, reviewers loved how easy to use the TefalCook4Me+ was. They appreciated the fact that meals were cooked speedily, with minimal stress or effort on their part.
  • The pre-programmed recipes were a favourite amongst reviewers, who loved the taste as well as the generous capacity of this appliance. Families with kids often used it to cook, and it was reported to regularly work a treat.
  • Cleaning the Tefal Cook4Me+ was a breeze, as it’s dishwasher safe and the lid doesn’t retain cooking smells.

Points to Consider

  • Not all reviewers were fans of the non-stick ceramic coating on the inner bowl. These home chefs stated that it wasn’t exempt from scratches and other damage.
