Tefal Sphericook RK745840

I am really happy with this cooker. It can handle everything from rice and rice dishes, to soups, stews and roasts. I have not used it for desserts or yoghurt, only for savoury dishes. Is working really well, food is nice and tasty. Highly recommended.

When the Tefal Cooker arrived, I was astounded with the quality and craftsmanship. It is tough and well built, the handle is also a very nice touch for carrying and serving food from; especially when serving rice! The buttons give an array of great options which make it easy to select, if your meal isn’t listed, you can figure it out easily (I used the soup function for curry). The booklet also gave great idea for what you could accomplish with this cooker. The rice is the best I have had in my life, this Tefal cooker made me realise I’ve been cooking rice wrong for 30 years. The rice was fluffy, tasty and cooked so quickly! The best part about this cooker is how quickly is cooks the food, the wattage is also incredibly low as I checked my meter. Pasta, chillies, curries and rice takes mere minutes; the porridge function is also great too. The key part of this product is its spherical pot, circulating the heat so quickly and it’s easy to clean! I cannot recommend this product enough.

This product works well. Only thing is I wish the instructions to clean the appliance before use could have been explained. They only had picture figures to follow where I was stuck for a while. The top lid of the product also has a small lid in middle it took me a while to figure out that have to push from the inside towaeds outside to take it off to clean it. Other than that cleaning was easy. While following the recipes the instructions to use the cooker it wasn't clear as well or to set the timer on the device. I cooked rice but it won't let me set a timer for rice I had to keep on checking manually and then turn it off myself. I was expecting to be able to set timer for rice and then a turn off sound after it's been cooked like any other rice cooker. Other functions had timer which I could set but I am still struggling a bit to figure out the timer and how to use it accurately. My mum likes this machine as it makes cooking easier for her in some ways.

The sphericook is brilliant. Simple to use and looks great. We have cooked rice and roasted a small beef joint. Cooked to perfection!

Initially thought this would be more like an air fryer but after a little trial and error I enjoyed using this product. Really versatile with all the different cooking settings and was so easy to clean which was an added bonus! The instructions were quite difficult to understand and really specific to the recipes Tefal suggested so I recommend just trying it out until you get it right. I wouldn’t say it’s an essential item for your kitchen but great for convenience and reducing your washing up!

Product is really amazing, i've just started my journey with weight loss, and this one helps alot! Food is delicious, and made in healthy way. The only problem i realized, it's a little bit too big, but probably it must be that big? Has many programs to try, i love roasting, browning and steam. I would highly recommend this for my friends! Need to mention, that is a bit hard to start, not too many recipes. But overall im very happy with it!!

This cooker is compact and does a lot for example steaming, roasting and creating jams. The quality of the materials is excellent and I also love that it comes with a little recipe book to give you some ideas of what to cook, and how to start using a multicooker. I find that using the roast function is probably my favourite, as it does brown the food. My only downside is that it needs to come with more bowls to use, and there is no handle when you need to take the bowl out of the multicooker. I also think the writing on the led screen is quite small and for someone who wears glasses, I need them on the read. It is a great product overall, just a few tweaks needed

The tefal sphericook is a nice little machine. Lots of functions on there too mess around with. The dome itself is huge. Much bigger then a small slow cooker. I did find it a little difficult to start with having to scroll through the settings rather then just pressing a button for a setting. It is very quiet , I had to open ot a couple of times in use to make sure it was working. The carry handle is ideal for moving out of storage to the counter top. Overall I think if I spent abit more time trying different recipes out in the tefal sphericook I definitely think it's a good addition to the kitchen gadgets.

Good little gadget. Works well for things such as rice but a bit confusing on how to use for other meals. “Recipe” book doesn’t come with many basic meal ideas but instead things that, personally, my family are unlikely to eat. Hard to find any recipes that could be used with it online. Instructions a little confusing and not very informative. Needs to be a bit more in-depth about setting and modes

I was lucky to be sent one to test out! Firstly, it's a stylish design, with easy to use functions and buttons that are very user friendly. The cooking bowl is large, and has the standard tefal non stick coating that really does work. It doesn't make a lot of noise and economically it's so much cheaper than using my gas hob/oven. The bowl is also dishwasher safe and the unit overall is easy to clean. I used it to make a pasta sauce. It keeps all the flavour in with no need to be constantly stirring! It also has a keep warm function, so you can bung all your ingredients in and it'll stay perfectly cooked for hours! One big con for me though is that it is quite a big machine, it doesn't fit in any cupboard and takes up a lot of worktop room, and the cable isn't very long either. This won't stop me using it, but it is something to keep in mind if you don't have much space!

I already own a different brand of multicooker but I was excited to try this. I’ve cooked several different things with varied results. It’s a nice design. The best results were for pasta and sauce, pasta bolognese and sponge cake! Didn’t do well with sausage and chips. The pros were that it’s lightweight, easy to carry with the handle (would be great for taking camping, in a caravan/campervan). The sponge cake came out beautifully, a lovely cake. Not dry! The bolognese was delicious. It heats up quickly and there’s no faffing when adding ingredients like I have with the other kind I own - you can brown your meat and then add sauce, no deglazing required. The bowl goes in the dishwasher which is handy. Cons - there’s not a huge amount of information on how to use it and get the best out of it - I couldn’t find many videos. You have to cycle through the buttons to get the programme you want. I found the steam dribbled at the back when you open the lid but it’s not a huge issue.

Great for rice and slow cooking the beans or meat. Its a all in one Product

I was super excited to try this out. It does so much but once you work out the controls it is easy the only negative thing was the recipe book that comes with it their not a lot in it when you have two large boys in the family. But I soon found many recipes online. I made lamb tagine and risotto, rice pudding and meatballs. The husband and kids were very happy. The best thing about it is how easy it is to clean the bowl so much lighter than my slow cooker to handle.

After having a couple of multicookers in the past, the TEFAL Sphericook is one of my favourites. Firstly its compact size shouldn’t discourage you from buying, it easily manages to cook a large batch of Chilli, perfectly fluffy rice, and a large joint of pork shoulder no problem! The cooker is easily programmable and the my recipe function is great! It saves your personal preferences for the next time you use it. Cooking Scrambled eggs every morning is fantastic, and throwing the pot into the dishwasher makes life so much easier! Can’t recommend this product enough, however I deducted 1 star, as the included steamer basket was a little flimsy and could probably be made of metal instead.
