KITCHEN GADGETS
With a name like Cook4Me
Connect you’d think this
teched-up pressure cooker
would let you chuck in all your
ingredients, shut the lid and put
your feet up until dinner. But it’s
not as simple as that.
Quite big but not particularly
heavy, like a cross between a
droid’s head and an old diving
helmet, this gadget takes the
guesswork out of the final
pressurised step (which is
what speeds the cooking
process up), but there’s still a
decent amount of preparation
work involved.
With the app connected over
Bluetooth and a meal chosen
from its library, you’ll be guided
through the recipe step by step
- but it’s not always the most
intuitive app and lacks a little
in functionality. Sometimes it’s
not clear whether you’re waiting
for it to tell you to move to the
next step or not.
Occasionally it’ll emit a jet of
steam like an angry whale, and
when it’s done it’ll play a little
tune. The food we made was
decent but not mind-blowingly
tasty, which is about what you’d
expect for the price.
STUFF SAYS +++,,
Not tasty enough, or convenient
enough, to be a must-buy
CLICK AND TWIST
You can also control this
Tefal using the dial on
the front, which is a bit
old-skool but not as
fiddly as you’d think. You
turn it to select and push
in to confirm.
