good and bad
it cooks well, however takes a fair time to heat up. One downside of this cooker is that you cannot increase time or temp during a cook, you need to cancel and select a new cook. eg if you are using the searing/saute function f before a slow cook you need to end that function and then select the other method, also if you don't have sufficient time when browning food the machine stops and you have to re-start which then cools the pot down. I do love the stainless steel inner pot, pop in dishwasher

Great upgrade
I’ve had a Tefal pressure cooker for the past 8 years, that has worked perfectly and still going. I’m passing that one onto my son who has just moved out of home and thought I could use an upgrade. The new model has many more functions than the old model and I’m still yet to use them all but so far it’s been fantastic.

Excellent
This multicooker is excellent, I cooked a piece of corned beef on the pressure cooker button and it only takes 30 minutes and it turned out great, I also cooked a beef stew and that turned out really good too . I am very happy with my purchase.

Q: Is the Tefal Home Chef Smart Multicooker only for rice, or can it replace a standard pressure cooker for family meals?
A: No. The CY601 is a pressure multicooker with 15 pre-set programs, including rice, congee, meats, soups, sous-vide and abalone. It suits buyers who want one appliance for everyday one-pot meals, not just a dedicated rice cooker.
Q: Can you customise cooking on the Tefal Home Chef Smart Multicooker beyond the built-in programs?
A: Yes. Alongside the 15 pre-set programs, this model adds two special functions that let you adjust cooking time and temperature. That gives more flexibility for recipes that do not fit a preset exactly, such as adapting a family stew or soup.
Q: Does the Tefal Home Chef Smart Multicooker have a setting to thicken sauces after cooking?
A: Yes. It includes a dedicated sauce thickening program, so soups, curries and braises can be reduced in the bowl after the main cook. That is useful when pressure cooking leaves extra liquid and you want a richer finish without moving pans.
Q: Does this Tefal multicooker support sous-vide cooking, and what is that useful for?
A: Yes. Sous-vide is one of this model’s special recipe programs, so it can handle controlled low-temperature cooking as well as pressure cooking. It is best for gently cooking proteins, but suitable bags and food-safe prep are still needed.
Q: What kinds of meals is the Tefal Home Chef Smart Multicooker best suited to?
A: It is best suited to moist, one-pot dishes such as curries, stews, soups, congee, rice meals and noodle-based recipes. If the goal is a dry, crisp finish, this model is less specialised because its listed programs focus on pressure and multicooking functions.
