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 ❤️

It sounds amazing, would love to try this.
I have asked Santa to bring me one for Christmas, but if I win this one I shall be able to ask for something different, like the fryer that don’t use much oil
I think Cook4Me is a fantastic device and looks really easy to use. Very convenient too! I would love to try the Pesto Chicken Risotto recipe. I don’t have a pressure cooker. I would love to own one of these Cook4Me cookers xx
I have never used a pressure cooker before, but this one sounds amazing. Would make curry and casserole to start with, then experiment with other recipes.
Don’t own a pressure cooker & this looks really good. I would probably start with something like a vegetable casserole but then let Hubby who does most of the cooking experiment with some of his chicken recipes.
It’s stylish and I would love to make cakes with my three kids.
I own a pressure cooker and use it all the time, I would use it for almost all my cooking from soups, stews to puddings I like to use my gadgets to the max!
I think the Cook4me is a fantastic item, I love there features, would love to make a chicken and vegetable dish, I don’t have a pressure cooker at home unfortunately
I used to have a manual pressuree cooker but don’t have it anymore, I always found it great for making soups.
I have never owned a pressure cooker but after having read this review, this seems an amazing product! There are so many delicious meals I could make in it, from homemade soup, to beef goulash to my favourite 5-Bean Veggie Chilli!
i would love this, having 6 children is very demanding and finding time to cook nice home cooked food is difficult, this would help out this very busy mum!
Seen the chefs use them on TV and now reading this makes it seem invaluable.
I don’t have a pressure cooker but have recently been reading about them and think one may be a really useful addition. Fingers crossed!
This would make cooking so easy. Plus with the colder months ahead, stews, curries and soup on the menu, this would make it easy and less time consuming.
Sounds really good. I have never owned a pressure cooker before. I would make a yummy prawn curry. Thank you for the chance xxx
My mom had a pressure cooker she used successfully but I have never gotten into using one but I am ready to try it. I would use it for roasts and for stews too.
never had a pressure cooker but i bet they would make cracking stew and dumplings and soups 🙂
This would be ideal for us, I’d love to try making a curry in it – I’ve never owned a pressure cooker
I’ve wanted to try a pressure cooker for ages x
This would be a great help in the kitchen. I have to cook for 5 of us and it can be quiet time consuming.
I like the look of it, very stylish! I would love to try making pulled pork in it.
It looks fab and so do all the features. I would cook a nice stew in it and maybe some curries. I do not have a pressure cooker but it is something that I would love to own as I seem to buy most cooking mini appliances like actifriers, halogen ovens etc. I would love to win just so I can experiment with my cooking.
I dont have pressure cooker at the moment and i would love to cook stews
slow cooking meats
I don’t own a pressure cooker, but I would love one to experiment with soups, casseroles and yummytastic winter warming dishes. Thanks for the chance xxx
