Good all-rounder
:: Preston
:: 05/05/2010
Performs all four functions really well.
Instructions can, as others have said, be slightly confusing and/or contradictory. You might have to play around a bit to get things right for you, but that's part of the fun isn't it?
If you're a real rice pudding lover you might not be too thrilled with the rice pudding recipe because the rice is cooked in water and the milk is added later.
For me, this meant the pudding tasted "thin" (watery, I suppose) and lacked the crust that's produced when cooked in the traditional way.
The slow cooker will probably be too small for a big family. That's not a criticism, just a comment.
This is a good kitchen product and is used at least 3-4 times a week.

Excellent Multi-Purpose Unit
:: London
:: 25/11/2008
I wanted a multi-purpose unit as I really love sticky rice (the kind you get in Chinese restaurants) and wanted a smaller slow cooker. This device cooks white rice beautifully and is also very good in the small cooker arena. I did not like the results for wild rice (wrong rice to water ratio in book and rice came out dry and chewy even after more water was added) which I think is better cooked stovetop but all-in-all, I think it's a fine unit. Highly recommended.

Alittle disappointed overall
:: Hereford
:: 17/02/2010
Positives...looks good, easy to use & clean, useful accessories included. The stay warm feature is brilliant & outweighs some of the negatives.
Negatives...it's only possible to delay cooking for the rice. It would have been really useful if this was possible for the slow cooker & steamer.
With the slow cooker timer once you go past 60 seconds, the time increments in hours....so for example it's not possible to set 2.5 hours. I got around this by cooking for 2 hours & then leaving it to warm for the remainder of the time.

No problems.
:: Edinburgh
:: 16/02/2010
I chose this cooker based on reviews & because of the extra functions, & the ASDA price is way less than elsewhere. It is a high quality product; thick gauge aluminium cookpot with effective non-stick coating. The condensation trap neatly catches moisture that other cookers may dump on your counter. A bit of trial & error needed to get right quantity of water for different types & amounts of food, but I have found it a great first rice cooker, not having to watch the porridge or rice closely means you can turn on & forget.

Great product
:: Forest Hill, London
:: 11/01/2010
Our first rice cooker and we were immediate converts - it's very easy to use and the results are great. Even the cat likes the rice pudding we make! Rather a limited recipe book - more a source of ideas and techniques - and the basic instruction book isn't great. So we needed to experiment a bit to get the best texture but it's not hard to work out. Steamer works well too though we haven't tried the slow cooker yet. Quite a bulky machine - the size of a large casserole - so not for you if kitchen space is at a premium.

especially using this product. The tefal 4 in 1 is quiet, good looking and wonderfully easy to use. The results are outstanding too with some tasty rice coming out almost all the time. So easy to clean too.
Bargain at this price.

A great rice cooker, but is also multifunctional
:: Wiltshire
:: 06/02/2009
When I recieved my first rice cooker I had to send it back as the latch was broken, but Asda were really quick to rectify the situation. I have used the rice cooker for rice and porridge so far, but it is so flexible because you can also use it is a steamer, slow cooker. I am really impressed with the results. The rice tastes great and the texture is really soft and you just press a button and don't have to keep an eye on it, because it automatically goes to keep warm mode.

fantastic
:: cheshire
:: 27/02/2010
Was after a rice steamer for ages and checked out lots of products but decided on this 4 in 1 rice cooker. Absolutely fantastic. The rice is cooked perfectly every time, you just cant go wrong. The slow cook function is brilliant too. Havent got round to using the rice pudding and porridge functions yet but if they are anything like the other two functions then they will be brilliant too. And Asda is the cheapest place to buy from too so all in all FANTASTIC !!!

Really useful purchase
:: Northamptonshire
:: 07/01/2009
I'd been looking for a rice cooker originally but as this product is a 4 in 1 cooker I thought I'd try it. One of the best kitchen gadgets I have brought, really easy to use and clean and cooks rice perfectly as well as cooking a nice steamed dinner too. Previously checked out prices elsewhere before purchasing and read other views on this item. All recommended this and Asda's the cheapest place to buy this item from. Don't hesitate to get one of these today.

best rice cooker
:: Wiltshire
:: 09/03/2010
Bought the Tefal to replace a small rice cooker that failed after 13 months use. I wanted a better quality unit at the best price. After searching the internet I came to the conclusion that the electronic controlled one's were the best. The cost range was £50.00 to £120.00, the Tefal cooks rice to perfection, the rice does not stick to the inner pan at all therefore no waste. have not used slow cooker yet. Asda and Tefal's deal was by far the best.

Does what it says on the box
:: Romford.Essex

I have always had trouble cooking rice as it should be cooked but not anymore as the Tefal rice cooker does it for me.My first batch of rice was for just 2 cups and it cooked it perfectly so invited my family over for a curry and did an 8 cup batch and it was just the same well seperated and fluffy.I would definitely rate this rice cooker as a quality product and would recommend it to anyone who loves rice.

A fantastic all in one cooker!
:: London
:: 22/11/2009
I was recently looking for a rice cooker when I came across this. Because of the multifunction features, I have not only cooked rice which comes out fluffy everytime. I have also cooked porridge, pasta as well as chicken and lamb shanks which came out beautifully. My only quibble is that the slow cooker function should have a timer. I would highly recommend this product.

This is a great spacesaver with it being 4 in 1. I use it at least 3 times a week. It make fab porridge and the slow cooker is really handy for making a hot meal for you to eat after work. The rice maker produces fluffy rice and switches onto a keep warm mode when its ready. I havent used the steamer yet but i am sure its fantastic. I cant recommend it enough.

:: Glasgow

I bought this for my daughter and son in law, and they have only had it for two weeks but already found it so useful ,when they are both out. Rice was superb and so was the slow cooker. Tonights meal is already in as that gives them more time for the family. Great value for money and so easy to use. Now I would like one as I cannot make nice fluffy rice.

Great Purchase
:: London
:: 16/12/2009
Bought this as it had a delay timer, rice only, it was well worth it. Come home from work now to the rice cooked and ready to eat. The porridge maker is good, just put the porridge, milk and any fruit wanted and then leave it to cook while I get ready for work, great. Have not used the steamer or the slow cooker part of it as have these items already.

Must Have Product
:: Warrington, Cheshire
:: 14/05/2009
Excellent, used to have rice maker which I could not live without.To have a product combining a rice cooker with a slow cooker and steamer, is absolutely excellent, cuts down on the gadgets in your cupboards, you would never need to use your cooker again. Very easy to use, and more importantly easy to CLEAN. Suitable for a single person or a family.

Can't live without it!
:: Glasgow
:: 01/03/2010
This is my second Tefal multi function slow cooker. The first one was great but my mum melted it by accident! I couldn't live without it so had to get a replacement ASAP and Asda had the best price. It makes fantastic rice and I love the slow cooker for throwing in some meat and veg in the morning and coming home to a tasty meal after work.

The non-stick bowl is really good, I've never had such an easy time serving and washing up after making porridge or rice.
The rice it makes is perfect, saves so much time and effort trying to get rice to boil without overflowing in hobs.
The porridge is a bit more tricky to get right, took a few attempts, but now its fine.

The rice cooker itself is excelent and does everything well. the controls are very simple; sometimes maybe too simple; but even a child could use this thing safely. asda offers this ricecooker at a much cheaper rate than other places including delivery prices. definately recommend this product and from asda.
