Philips Jamie Oliver HomeCooker HR1040/90 1500 W Stirrer Steaming tier is rated 4.6 out of 5 by 131.
Rated 4 out of 5 by from ideal time saver the philips home cooker sounds like an excellent idea, and it IS an excellent piece of kit. the idea that you can just throw all the ingredients in and set the temperature and timer and walk away is an idea that i like very much !! so far i have cooked a couple of basic casseroles which have turned out very well, and i have done sauteed potatoes which didnt fare quite so well as they burnt and stuck to the bottom :/ i think there is going to be quite a bit of trial and error to get the temperature and timings right, but i can see that once we have gotten used to it it will become a godsend. however im not sure i would buy the homecooker at full price.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Can even turn My husband into a cook The new Philips HomeCooker, was great, was extremely easy to set up without even looking at the instuctions although these did come in use and where very simple to understand. We cooked our 1st Curry from sctratch and even my Husband and kids loved getting involved, we also used the New cutting tower from the range alongside and this was fantatstic made life so much easier not messing around then straight into the HomeCooker which with the great new self stirer we could leave to cook our food whilist having some much needed time to carry on with sorting the kids out. The food was great once cooked the meat was so tender and went down a treat.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from An amazing addition to my kitchen Whether you are having a dinner party or just cooking for the family this is for you. Just put the food in, set the timer and temperature and go off and do whatever you want whilst dinner is cooked. The food does not burn and the stirrer prevents it sticking. Whether its a casserole, risotto, soup, steamed vegetables (delicate steaming done on the steamer tray), sauces, pasta, fondue or even breakfast then this is a valuable addition to your kitchen. When steaming the kitchen does not fill with steam. Also, not loads of washing up so saving time again. No need to chop, grate or slice, just plug in the cutting tower and away you go!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from This product is amazing for every busy household wanting to make fresh home cooked food I love it! I love it! I love it! As a busy mum with two young children, I feel my prayers have finally been answered, I can make the dinner in the homecooker whilst also helping with the homework without rushing around trying to avoid burning everything. The amazing stirring attachment means you can take an eye off the cooking as it does all the hard work for you with the clever timer alarm function which reminds you for the next stage. Easy to use, easy to wash, many functions such as stirring and steaming. The homecooker has become an essential item in my house and I would recommend it to everyone!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from It does it all I was very impressed with this home cooker. It heats up quickly, it has extra baskets for steaming etc, and best of all it has a stirrer which is a godsend if you are cooking meals like risotto. I made chicken and chorizo risotto and not once did I stir it and nothing stuck and the risotto rice was cooked to perfection. It is so versatile, theres not much you cannot cook in it. It is extremely easy to clean too, also you dont have stacks of pots and pans to wash afterwards. I would thoroughly recommend this brilliant piece of equipment. I dont know how I managed without one...

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Versatility in one product Right from opening the box, this product exudes quality. All the pieces fit together easily and smoothly. The instructions are clear and well written and the actual HomeCooker is very simple to use. This product looks fantastic and would adorn any kitchen worksurface. The recipe book included is full of tasty and easy to follow recipes, the dishes we have made so far (Chutney, Soup and Curry) looked just like the pictures and tasted fantastic too! With the addition of the chopping tower, time spent in the kitchen is reduced even further. All the pieces are easy to clean.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Fantastic addition to any kitchen When I first received the HomeCooker to review, when looking in the box I was quite apprehensive about fitting it all together and getting it ready for use. However it couldn't off been easier to do and use. Perfect for even for beginners, with it's simple temperature, timer and stirring option. I mean how can you go wrong with three buttons! When it comes to using the homecooker as a mum of 3 boys, I can sometimes find myself struggling for time when it comes to making a hearty and nutritious meal from scratch, but the timer & stirrer combined is just fantastic, as it's gives me time to clear up/ prep or see to my children in-between cooking tasks. Also the fact that everything is cooked in one pot means even less cleaning and the homecooker itself is very easy to clean. I have tried lots of the recipes out of the great recipe book that comes with the homecooker and so far the results are always outstanding and spot on. The recipes are also very easy to follow, create and change to suit your own taste. When it comes to the cutting tower accessory, I wasn't as impressed but am still content. I found that the cutting tower was a little harder to use, only due to it's safety features, which means it all has to be in-line to work, which I understand and once I'd fiddled a bit, it wasn't a problem, but I also found the cutting tower quite noisy and felt it didn't always grate my onion/carrots on the grater attachment. It left a bit whizzing round that it couldn't quite get grated, but again this is something that happens with all electric graters (well it seems to with mine, so it could just be me!?). Overall I am very impressed with this product and would recommend it to my friends and family, although it is quite pricey so I'm not sure if they would take the leap and buy it,but it's definitely worth the recommendation. Oh one last thing that I should mention is that it is quite a large piece of kitchen equipment,so if you have small kitchen like I do at the minute, you will have to think hard about where you are going to keep it stored. However for anyone with an average to large sized kitchen this is a must and when we have finished our kitchen extension mine will be kept out 24/7.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Home cooking at its best Product looked rather scary when i removed it from the box but it was actually very simple to put together, easy instructions to follow. Setting the time and the temp was easy enough and display was easy to understand. I made Chicken Curry with mine and everything went together well, i will say though that the non stick could of been slightly better but a drop of water sorted that out. This is a great product if you want to make home made dinners without the fuss, Just add what you need, set the timer and go about your day, another great product from Philips

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I received the Home cooker together with the chopper this week. I have been using the Home cooker and Chopper for the past week. It is very easy to use, and makes meals quick and easy to prepare. I have prepared both meat and vegetable dishes. The steamer part works really well. The food is well cooked, and retains flavours. The chopper is amazing, almost too quick, I have to be quick to keep up with it's demands for more things to chop!! It looks great in kitchen too. I see myself using it most days. I have also noticed it is a low energy product. Much less than my oven, so that is certainly a cost saving bonus.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from so easy to use The homecooker and cutting tower make an impressive gadget to have in your kitchen. Quite simply it makes cooking easy. It all sits together nicely and has separate sections for steaming pasta / veg etc and a base unit for slow cooking. It comes with a great little recipe book which is easy to follow. The food is fantastic at the end and it looks like you have spent hours slaving rather than the home cooker doing it all for you. The product itself is really easy to use and my daughter (5 yo) loved helping me cook tea with it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Bish,Bash,Bosh, Puka Time saving delight!! The Jamie Oliver Homecooker and Slicing Tower are superb. I have used this product for the last two months and it has turned my cooking from "oh well I'm sure it will taste better next time" to "wow when can we have that again it tastes superb" The stirring feature means no more burnt meals and the slicing tower just makes everyhting so simple. From Beef Goulash to Creamy rice pudding I have done them all. I cannot recommend this piece of equipment enough. Thanks Philips for helping a novice cook, cook a whole lot better!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Brilliant! This philips home cooker has replaced my old slow cooker. So far I have cooked Soup, Curry and bolognaise. I have to say, each of them tasted fantastic. Actually, better than when i've cooked on the hob. The instructions were clear and the cook book that came with it is amazing. Time spent in the kitchen is very much reduced especially if you buy the chopping tower. It makes a change to have evenly chopped food. Overall, its a fantastic piece of kit. The home cooker and chopping tower are a kitchen 'must have'.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent for easy cooking of fresh meals I received this product to test and found it to be great. It's simple to use, easy to clean and you can add the ingredients and leave it to do the job. The cooker has multiple settings so can melt, boil, fry etc meaning that it has the potential for lots of different uses. It really is so simple that it's foolproof. Although it has steamer baskets, I haven't tried these out yet so can't comment on how well they work. I'd recommend for busy mums who want to make fresh meals but find themselves pressed for time.
