Absolutely love my Philips all in one cooker. I used it at least 2-3 time per week if not more. Working full time and with two little ones it really helps me spend more time with the family.
Once a week I make yogurt, either from scratch or from prepackaged mixes such as Easiyo. I've found that over time the cooker smells like curry, so I've been making the yogurt in jam jars. Just recently I discovered if you fill the jars 3/4 of the way with milk and two tablespoons of powdered milk, pop in the cooker with a cup of water in the bottom of the cooker, thenusing manual pressure cook, set for two minutes (turn off after a minute). Remove allow to cool to 43 degrees or lower, then add two tablespoons of yogurt. Put lids on jars and set for 9 hour on yogurt, you get a really thick yummy yogurt.
Peeling pressure cooked eggs is so easy... Cook for the same time you would on the stove, with a cup of water in the bottom, shells peel so easy. Cook your eggs on top of cut potato for 12 minutes, with a cup of water. You have potato salad ready to dress. Brilliant mashed spuds or other veggies.
Mac and cheese in less than 15 minutes. Cook pasta with enough water to just cover for 4 minutes, then switch to sauté add cream and cheese till you get the righ consistency,
Spag bol, in one pot. saute Onion and meat and rest of veggies, pasta sauce and herbs. Break spaghetti in half stir ensure pasta is just covered by liquid add more water if needed, pressure cook 15 minutes, perfect.
Even my husband throws the curries or stews in the pressure cooker when you don't have much time to cook, perfect ever time or does a slow cook.
Okay the recipe book is not much use but if you surf the net for similar products like the instant pot, you can pretty much follow their recipes.
Would love to see a web site specifically for the Philips all in one cooker, as with all the options available to cook with in this machine, it gets confusing which method to use.
The chocolate cake recipe that comes in the book is yummy, I now cook mine in a tin with in the pot. Why heat up a whole oven and waste all that power, now I don't have to.
Cook steamed fish with lemon juice and herbs on the rack, with a cup of water 15 minutes steam mode. Cooked a 1.8kg chicken in 26 minutes on pressure.
I could go on... Great product, now Philips lets just get a web page with recipes only for this product.

After cooking a slow cooked meal in my slow cooker for my friend she was suitably impressed and I loaned my slow cooker to her to trial. She trialled the slow cooker and she is now converted to slow cooking in a slow cooker and she put it on her Christmas list! I am waiting for my invite to dinner!

So I got home today & had 1 hour before dinner was supposed to be served. I had taken out some Beef Gravy early in the morning thinking I would make a casserole but I knew I wouldn't have time now as the Beef needs at least an hour to cook & I would still need to chop up Veges. So I opened my pantry & found a jar of Beef Rendang Paste. I only needed to add Coconut Milk! Perfect! I quickly diced the meat, browned it then I opened the jar of paste plus the coconut milk, threw them in the Phillips together. Gave a good stir, put my Phillips on Pressure Cooker Mode & walah! Dinner ready on time & it was delicious!

Every Sunday I like to cook something along traditional lines, providing I have a bit of time and a bit of thought beforehand to get all the ingredients together! On more occasions then not, that means me zipping down to the shop at 3pm desperately buying last minute missing ingredients. On this occasion, I had everything ready to put together a lasagne. I slow cooked the sauce in my Phillips All in One Cooker- the tomatoes, garlic and basil infusing into the meat so wonderfully! Another hit with Hubby and Miss 3, this Bolognese sauce was amazing.

One of my favourite comfort foods from my childhood was Afritadang Baka, a beef and tomato based stew recipe from my mothers homeland- The Philippines. Traditionally it would be slow cooked for hours, for the meat to tenderize, flavours to develop and the potatoes to soften.
After a busy day of taking my daughter to swim class, ballet class, brunch with friends and then a stroll around the shops- I definitely did not have 'hours' to make this meal! So out came my Philips All in One Cooker, using the pressure cook function- presto(!) 40 mins later I am sharing one of my favourite meals with my little girl and Hubby.

So I thought with the cold I would make my mums pumpki soup with Granny Smith apples so once all the pumpkin and apples and stock and herbs had cooked down it was as simple as putting my hand blitzed in the all in one and giving it a quick spin to liquefy the pumpkin and apples. The pressure cooking probably only took 20 minutes but I had it set to 30 so I probably over did it the pumpkin and apples were already half broken down before I blitzed them. But nothing beats my mums recipe and now I share my secrets with my sous chef my Philips all in one cooker

This machine is promoted as an intelligent cooker - this is not true as it has very few programs and temperature cannot be adjusted manually, which is an idiocy. Any cook should be able to adjust temperature - this goes without saying. It has never occurred to me to check it - my fault, but ability to adjust cooking temperature is one of the defining features of smart/intelligent cooking. Very unhappy.

I was so fortunate (read sarcastic) to be given one of these for my birthday. Surprisingly I love it. I think that I used it at least once, maybe even twice a week in winter preparing meals for everyone. It really is quite easy to use and clean. You can do so many things with this great machine. I wish that I had gotten one sooner :)

After seeing this product advertised and considering buying, my friend lent me her Philips all-in-one cooker just to try. I cooked a frozen turkey roll in the slow cooker and it turned out t just perfect. Now I'm ready to buy my own. I'm excited to cook up healthy dishes for my family without paying the exhorbitant price tag similar machines are asking.

I was not chosen to review this produce by MoM, but was given one for mother's day this year instead. I have to say that I really like having this all in one cooker. It took a bit of adjusting to at first, and it comes with a nice recipe booklet - but of course you could also download some from this website. I was so happy for winter to come so that I could use it. It's sure getting a work out :)

I think I'll be purchasing one of these soon as my current cooker has a broken lid and therefore isn't working too well. Philips is a very reliable brand that I trust too.

I got this cooker last year on my birthday and have used it for over a year. Absolutely fantastic. Quick, clean, fast healthy cooking. I get stews and soups in 20 mins, things that use to take hour to cook. Being able to sear and saute off the ingredients in the same pot before stewing it also saves the extra cleaning up. Build in timers are fantastic for when you are in and out of the house. The only complain I have, and it's a little one, is that I wish the lid was a flip top type lid. I have a small kitchen, and when I have to cook without the lid, it is cumbersome and takes up precious space on my little kitchen bench. Other than that, it is one of the equipment I cannot go without, right there next to my kettle and toaster!

Extremly silent, no waste of liquid, very effective, no smell of cooked food. Amazing product! Congratulations Philips for a great accomplishment. I cook everthing in it and I love it. I cooked lamb feet in it and this is very smelly and takes usually one and half hours in a normal pressure cooker but after one hour in this one, no smell at all and they were totally done and yammy. This was the hardest thing to cook. The rest was easy :-)

Brought this about 6 months ago. The more I use it the more I like it! It can be a bit of a learning process to start & YouTube has some great ideas... but it just gets better & better. The Sauté/sear function is really handy, so you can go straight from that to Slow cooking or pressure cooking without the need to use another pan. It really is one pot does all & so easy to clean.

‘Trust Your Intuition’: How To Advocate For Your Child In Hospital
Mother’s instinct is a funny thing. At home, we trust it without question. But put us in a hospital setting with an unwell child, surrounded by doctors, nurses and monitors, and suddenly we start doubting ourselves.
What if I’m overreacting? What if I’ve got it wrong?
So we stay quiet, even when we know something just isn’t right with our child. I’ve been there myself – when my usually ‘tough’ son was doubled over with stomach pain. I was told in the emergency department that it probably wasn’t his appendix. But I knew he wouldn’t have begged me to take him to hospital unless it was serious. Because I know him better than anyone. Turns out, it was appendicitis.
It’s a really common place for parents to land. You’re grateful for the care your child is getting, but at the same time, you feel this huge responsibility to speak up if something doesn’t feel right.
Here’s the thing though: that instinct you’re feeling? It matters more than you might think.
Why your gut feeling matters more than you realise
According to Paediatric Nurse Unit Manager, Canterbury Hospital, Leticia Jackson, parents bring something to the hospital that no test or machine ever could.
“Parents often say they ‘just know’ when something isn’t quite right with their child, and in a hospital, that gut feeling is incredibly valuable,” she explains.
Leticia Jackson, Paediatric Nurse Unit Manager, Canterbury Hospital
While medical teams rely on observations, tests and equipment, parents know the little details. The way your child usually smiles. How they react when they’re tired. What’s normal for them.
So when something feels “off”, even if everything looks okay on paper, it can actually be an early warning sign.
“When parents trust those instincts and speak up, this creates a powerful partnership that can sometimes catch a problem before it becomes an emergency,” Leticia says.
Worried about speaking up? You’re not alone
A lot of parents hesitate about advocating for their child.
You don’t want to come across as difficult. You don’t want to question the people caring for your child. And sometimes, you just don’t feel confident enough to push the issue.
Leticia gets it.
“It is completely understandable for parents to feel hesitant,” she says. “No one wants to be seen as difficult or to second-guess the hardworking people caring for their child.”
But here’s a helpful way to look at it: you’re not challenging the medical team, you’re helping them.
Parents are the constant. Staff change shifts, care for multiple patients, and rely on snapshots of information. You’re there the whole time, noticing the subtle changes.
“Our medical team doesn’t view a concerned parent as overreactive, but as a partner,” Leticia explains. “Your voice matters.”
Remember, we know our children better than anyone.
What to do if you’re worried: the Raise It process
If you’re in a NSW public hospital or health service and you’re worried about you or your child’s condition getting worse, there is a clear process you can follow called Raise It.
Raise It is designed to help patients, carers and family members get help fast if they’re worried about a change in their loved one’s condition.
Here’s how it works:
Talk: Start by speaking to a nurse, midwife, doctor or health worker about your concerns.
Ask: Still worried? Ask to speak to the nurse or midwife in charge and request a Clinical Review.
Call: If you’re still concerned, you can escalate further using the Raise It process to get urgent attention from a senior health worker.
You don’t need medical knowledge. You don’t need to be certain. If you feel something isn’t right, or your child is getting worse, Raise It. You just need to speak up.
What should you actually look out for?
Sometimes it’s not one big, obvious sign. It can be small, subtle changes that just don’t sit right.
Things like:
Changes in breathing (fast, laboured or noisy)
Skin looking pale, mottled, or developing unusual rashes
Your child being unusually drowsy, floppy, or hard to wake
Confusion or behaviour that’s out of character
Pain that isn’t improving with treatment
Or simply that feeling that your child is getting worse
And sometimes, it’s just that gut feeling you can’t explain.
That’s enough.
“You are helping us, not bothering us”
If there’s one message Leticia wants parents to take away, it’s that you aren’t bothering the medical team, you’re helping them.
“In my years as a Nurse Unit Manager, I can say with absolute certainty that many critical changes in a child’s condition have been identified first by a parent. While our clinical staff are highly skilled at performing regular observations and interpreting data, parents are the only constant presence who truly know their child’s baseline behaviour, personality, and what is normal for them.
“I have seen numerous instances where a parent’s insistence that their child is “just not themselves” – despite vital signs appearing relatively stable – has prompted a deeper clinical review that uncovered everything from early signs of sepsis to a life-threatening respiratory crisis.”
The Raise It process exists because healthcare teams know how important parents are in keeping children safe.
“Speaking up doesn’t mean you don’t trust the team,” she says. “It means you’re partnering with us to make sure nothing gets missed.”
And if you’re still worried about being judged?
“Whether your concern turns out to be something or nothing, your instinct to raise it is always valid.”
You should never second guess yourself when it comes to yours or your childs health- or anyones for that matter. Go with your thoughts. It is natural to want to protect a loved one especially when it comes to health situations, and the feeling you get when you think you didnt do enough to advocate or fight for them…it is not a kind or nice way to feel. Many people have ended up being heartbroken and picking up pieces for years because of feeling they didnt do enough.
A very good and informative article. I have read so many stories about mums just knowing when things are not right and demanding second and third opinions until they got the right answer. Sometimes mums just know. It is our job as care takers of our families. Listen to your gut!
Years ago, I spoke up for my 14-year-old daughter, but my concerns weren’t fully listened to. I’ve always wished I had pushed harder. She was sent home without much testing, and two days later, she passed away.
So, if you ever have concerns—no matter how minor—please speak up and keep advocating. Trust your instincts; they are there for a reason.
This is so important for parents to know how to raise it further if they don’t think their child is receiving the medical support they need! I know this article refers to the NSW system but other systems have similar procedures just with different names. I know in QLD it’s called Ryan’s Rule.
It’s so important to follow your gut instincts and express your concerns indeed. I have never hesitated to advocate for my children in various situations and I don’t care what other people think about it. Not all doctors and medical staff appreciate it when you question them, I’ve experienced that it may result in angry indignant responses.
How true this is! While nurses and doctors are the medical professionals doing their job on the daily, we know our children better than anyone and what is ‘normal’ for them. I would always speak up if I had noticed any changes in my child’s health and encourage other parents to do so too. No question is silly!
This really is such an important issue and a good topic to discuss with people, I am often surprised that people are worried about being judged. This is not something I care about; the priority is for the care and health of everyone is my family. Parents know their children and need to work with health professionals for the best outcomes for their children.
This is such an important issue to raise, and no one should ever feel ashamed, nervous or that they are being OTT for advocating for their kids, themselves or loves ones in hospital. In QLD we have Ryan’s Rule. A three step process where your concern will be escalated if they believe the patients condition isn’t improving or is worsening.
I have never been afraid to advocate for my children and partner and extended family and also friends. It is so important to listen and to trust intuition. When people have not listened, I have persevered and kept on with insisting on care and making sure they truly listened and took action.

Philips All In One Cooker
Once a week I make yogurt, either from scratch or from prepackaged mixes such as Easiyo. I've found that over time the cooker smells like curry, so I've been making the yogurt in jam jars. Just recently I discovered if you fill the jars 3/4 of the way with milk and two tablespoons of powdered milk, pop in the cooker with a cup of water in the bottom of the cooker, thenusing manual pressure cook, set for two minutes (turn off after a minute). Remove allow to cool to 43 degrees or lower, then add two tablespoons of yogurt. Put lids on jars and set for 9 hour on yogurt, you get a really thick yummy yogurt.
Peeling pressure cooked eggs is so easy... Cook for the same time you would on the stove, with a cup of water in the bottom, shells peel so easy. Cook your eggs on top of cut potato for 12 minutes, with a cup of water. You have potato salad ready to dress. Brilliant mashed spuds or other veggies.
Mac and cheese in less than 15 minutes. Cook pasta with enough water to just cover for 4 minutes, then switch to sauté add cream and cheese till you get the righ consistency,
Spag bol, in one pot. saute Onion and meat and rest of veggies, pasta sauce and herbs. Break spaghetti in half stir ensure pasta is just covered by liquid add more water if needed, pressure cook 15 minutes, perfect.
Even my husband throws the curries or stews in the pressure cooker when you don't have much time to cook, perfect ever time or does a slow cook.
Okay the recipe book is not much use but if you surf the net for similar products like the instant pot, you can pretty much follow their recipes.
Would love to see a web site specifically for the Philips all in one cooker, as with all the options available to cook with in this machine, it gets confusing which method to use.
The chocolate cake recipe that comes in the book is yummy, I now cook mine in a tin with in the pot. Why heat up a whole oven and waste all that power, now I don't have to.
Cook steamed fish with lemon juice and herbs on the rack, with a cup of water 15 minutes steam mode. Cooked a 1.8kg chicken in 26 minutes on pressure.
I could go on... Great product, now Philips lets just get a web page with recipes only for this product.

Childhood comfort food revival- Afritadang Baka
After a busy day of taking my daughter to swim class, ballet class, brunch with friends and then a stroll around the shops- I definitely did not have 'hours' to make this meal! So out came my Philips All in One Cooker, using the pressure cook function- presto(!) 40 mins later I am sharing one of my favourite meals with my little girl and Hubby.

Philips All In One Cooker
Once a week I make yogurt, either from scratch or from prepackaged mixes such as Easiyo. I've found that over time the cooker smells like curry, so I've been making the yogurt in jam jars. Just recently I discovered if you fill the jars 3/4 of the way with milk and two tablespoons of powdered milk, pop in the cooker with a cup of water in the bottom of the cooker, thenusing manual pressure cook, set for two minutes (turn off after a minute). Remove allow to cool to 43 degrees or lower, then add two tablespoons of yogurt. Put lids on jars and set for 9 hour on yogurt, you get a really thick yummy yogurt.
