Not long ago I was invited to a lovely event organised by Tefal where they told us all about their amazing Cook4Me product. As most of you know, I don’t cook and it’s usually my hubby Nick who cooks at home, generally during the weekends (we tend to cook frozen or more convenient meals during the week as we are all so busy!). When I heard about Cook4Me I was very intrigued about it and wanted to find out more!
The idea of being able to provide healthy, home cooked meals to our girls in an easy way and in less than 30 minutes sounded amazing to me. I thought that this would be a great solution for us as I would be able to cook some meals during the week for my girls if it was not going to take me a lot of time and it was going to be easy and quick to prepare recipes. The idea sounded fantastic to me!
Basically, the Cook4Me is a smart multi cooker that does the hard work for you! This smart pressure cooker comes with 50 pre-programmed recipes. It guides you simply and speedily through cooking delicious meals for up to 6 people.
The event I attended was held in a lovely house in North London. The house had a gorgeous kitchen which was perfect to try out and test all the features of this amazing cooker. There were about 9 other bloggers and we were separated into smaller groups so we could cook four different recipes. While the first two groups cooked starters the other two groups were resting and being pampered in another room. That was just fabulous! 😉
To begin with we were all gathered to be told all about this cooker, in terms of how it works and what features it has. I was so impressed to hear all the great recipes you could do with it in a short amount of time!
You can see a short video of our day prepared by Tefal below:
Main Features:
- FAST – Over 30 recipes you can cook in less than 15 minutes
- EASY – Step-by-step instructions and automatic cooking times and temperatures
- DELICIOUS – 50 pre-set mouthwatering home-cooked recipes
Between all of us we prepared two starters (Italian Vegetable Soup with Croutons and Potato & Leek Soup) and two main dishes (Tuna Puttanesca and Butternut Squash Risotto)
My partner in crime for this cooking challenge was Sarah from Mumzilla. I was glad to hear that she likes cooking and she knew what to do so I said that I was going to follow her lead ;-). We were asked to cook the Italian Vegetable Soup With Croutons that takes about 10 minutes to do. We were able to choose for how many people we wanted to cook this meal for so we did it for the maximum amount which was 6 people as there were a lot of us in the house.
We needed carrots, chopped onion, tomato pasta sauce with onion and garlic, vegetable stock, canned canellini beans and sugar. We had to put all the ingredients together and then put the specific settings on the cooker, preheat it for a few minutes and then put the ingredients inside. The cooker does all this for you, prompting you when necessary so you just literally have to wait for it to do all the hard work! As I said in the title of the post we can now enjoy life with this cooker and be able to eat yummy and healthy food.
I’ve shared another short video from Tefal below showing how easy it was to cook this meal:
The best part of this event was that we were able to get one of these amazing Cook4Me cookers too! I was so excited when I was told that. It was great news, and the funny thing is that when I mentioned this to Nick he was even more excited than me. He was asking me every day if the cooker had arrived – it was so funny! He really likes cooking and he was so looking forward to testing it at home!
I will do a separate post with more details about the meals we cooked at home but so far we have prepared:
- Italian Vegetable Soup (starter) – I liked this so much that we tried it at home too
- Pesto Chicken Risotto (main dish)
- Chilli con Carne (main dish)
- Sweet and Sour Pork (main dish)
- Bread and Butter Pudding (dessert)
You can see below another video from Tefal about my thoughts on the Cook4Me:
We have also prepared rice which it is really good and quick at too! You can find out more about Tefal and its Cook4Me on Facebook, Twitter or You Tube.
You can buy the Cook4me on their official online store or from other retailers such as Argos, Currys, Debenhams, John Lewis, Lakeland or Amazon.
Have you heard of the Cook4Me before? What do you think of its features? Do you normally use a pressure cooker? Will this be a great help for you? Please leave a comment below as I would love to hear what you think.
*Disclaimer: I received this fantastic Cook4me from Tefal after attending an event for the purpose of this review but all opinions and thoughts are my own. I was also offered the opportunity to giveaway the same cooker.
Thanks for stopping by,
Love you all ❤️

I don’t have a pressure cooker at home. this looks amazing and rather stylish too. i would love to try all different types of soup. and wow 30 15 meals recipes! sounds just perfect as i have a busy life with my 4 year old daughter and twin babies.
My Nan used to have a pressure cooker when I was a child and it used to frighten the life out of me, all noise and talk of blowing up. Boy have they moved on, now I’m older and getting into cooking more (love my gadgets) I keep wondering if I’m missing out by not having one. my partner keeps going on about how great they are and he means the oldie style Your blog has just taken me to a whole new level of intrigue about them. Thank you.
Haven’t got but would love a pressure cooker
I think this looks like a great product and i would love to make a nice homemade chilli for my family, I would like to win as i have a real passion for cooking
Would love this am a terrible cook but used to love my old pressure cooker which my mother in law nicked 🙁
I don’t have a pressure cooker but would love to try this, to speed up the curries and casseroles I love while keeping all the goodness locked in
Have always wanted one of these. Would love to try cooking stews and curries.
This looks amazing. Really useful. Fingers crossed.
I like to cook healthy, tasty, filling and hopefully cheap meals. Anything that fits in with that I’m willing to try.
I don’t have a pressure cooker, my mum swears by hers though. This looks fab, it’s so versatile in what you can make in it and takes a bit of stress out of cooking! Would love to try the bread and butter pudding.
I’ve been wanting to get a pressure cooker for a while now as there are two specific recipes I’d like to cook in one, curried goat and a Brazilian bean dish. I really the features on the Tefal pressure cooker because they make it very easy to use and the recipes are interesting too.
I dont have a pressure cooker and had never heard of this brand before, I would love try making a risotto and maybe a curry for winter!
I don’t have one but I from your review I would love to try it. I’d make winter warmers for my family, risottos and currys and really experiment with it. I cook alot for all the family so it would come in extremely handy!
I’ve never had a pressure cooker but idk like the idea of a machine doing the work for me. If I had one of these we’d have curry on the menu more oftrn
I don’t have and have never used a pressure cooker but I have wanted one for ages. My mother – in -law cooks gammon joint in hers and its delicious
I have never used anything like this before, does sound good being able to cook a healthy meal for all the family in under 15 once we get home from work. I would love to cook a nice lamb curry in this
This looks fantastic, being able to cook so quickly is perfect for hectic lifestyles
This looks brilliant, I don’t have a pressure cooker but my mum does and I love it.
The Cook4Me looks amazing, I have a large family and we are always getting together at least once a week and we all love cooking. As an Asian family we cook rice everyday and lentils at least twice a week and not forgetting curry at least three times a week. The Cook4Me would change our lives for the better, at least everything would be more healthier. Good luck everyone.
This looks amazing for someone who isn’t as confident in cooking a storm (me!). I would definitely make soups and one pot stews.
I don’t have a pressure cooker. this looks great and I would love to win it because it would make cooking wholesome family meals much easier. I think I would make some lovely casseroles in in.
This looks great – have got loads of recipes to try in this!
I do like a gadget, especially one that speeds up cooking. I saw it demonstrated a food show earlier this year and it looks great
This looks a wonderful machine, would love to try the sweet and sour pork recipe.
Pressure cookers are really popular in Indian cooking and I think I would make some fantastic cooking with this – it looks like a fantastic little cooker!
