Introducing the Tefal COOK4ME Intelligent Multicooker.

With more and more people wanting great tasting recipes, cooked at home, and not always knowing where to start, or having the time, Tefal introduces Cook4me. Cook4me is an intelligent interactive multicooker with over 80 pre-programmed recipes that guide you step-by-step so you can cook deliciously tasty meals, but in a fraction of the time.

In the Tefal COOK4ME product review, Mouths of Mums members will receive a Tefal COOK4ME so that they can trial, review and create some wonderful meals for their families.

The Tefal COOK4ME is a revolution in the kitchen!

The interactive control panel guides you through each step to ensure your meal is cooked to perfection while allowing you to cook for 2, 4, or 6 people at a time. Tefal Cook4Me also saves you time with over 65% of the pre-programmed recipes taking less than 12 minutes to cook, and over 80 recipes using  six ingredients or less. Cooking has never been so easy with Tefal Cook4Me.

The Tefal Cook4Me not only saves you time and relieves the stress of cooking at the end of a long day, but with the ‘Delayed Start’ function, you can program your meals to be ready the moment you step through the door. You can delay the start of cooking your meal for up to 15 hours in advance so all you need to do is plate it up and enjoy your delicious meal with the family. What’s more, the ‘Auto Keep Warm’ function will ensure those late arrivals won’t be served an evening meal that has gone cold.

The 6L capacity allows you to cook for up to six people so you can feed the whole family at the push of a button. It has a self-release safety valve and a removable non-stick bowl with cool touch handles so cleaning is a breeze too.

  • Brilliant for busy families!

    I’ve just started using my COOK4ME. I was impressed with the size as with a family of 5, I wanted to be able to cook for us all, so with the options of cooking for 2, 4 and 6 – this is perfect.

    The options to brown and to keep warm are brilliant! I have a slow cooker and never bother browning meat as it means an extra pan, extra time and effort. With the Tefal COOK4ME, I can do it all in one – perfect!

    I also love the ‘keep warm’ function with a husband who often works late, and teens who have activities that often end around tea time or after.

    I have made a green chicken curry, beef stroganoff and bolognaise sauce this week, and the family have loved them all. So quick and easy! I really look forward to using it more and testing out it’s capabilities – especially now the weather is getting cooler. Risotto is next on my list!

    Being so easy to use and to clean has made the COOK4ME a perfect addition to our falmily!

    I bought a tefal cook 4 me, 4 months ago and it’s honestly the best appliance in my kitchen. It’s easy to use and makes getting dinner read for my family quick and healthy. The recipes are easy to do and taste delicious. I love the green Thai curry and massaman beef, hubby commented that he will never get Thai takeaway again, it’s just so good.

  • This just gets better and better.

    Well my fry pan died last night right as im about to fry up the mince for our spag bol. But never fear for Tefal is here. So I use the manual cooking option and brown mince. Then I chuck in the sauce and continue to brown. By leaving the lid open I ensured it wouldnt go to watery as previous recipes have done.

    So once cooked enough I served as usual. It was still full of flavour and the texture the same as it always is in the normal pan. So the Tefal COOK 4ME saved me from a night of cardboard takeaway much to the kiddoes disappointment.

    Love love love the versatility.

    Although I do not own a tefal, my ex husband does. When we stay with him 2 weeks a year, i used it last time we were there. I am thinking next visit if i pack an extra empty bag, I can stash it in and hope he does not notice. I love it.

    I used my daughters TEFAL to make the mushroom soup in the recipe book. Got all the ingredients that I needed together and from there it was so easy. Told me step by step what to do and then it simmered away while I went and did other things.

    I was given a cook 4 me for my birthday, I loved it when I first got it and I still love it now. It took me a while yo be confident to use the manual setting but now I haven’t looked back. This appliance has saved me so much time and makes cooking easier when my 15 month old will not sit still while I prepare dinner. I highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for something to make their lives easier. You will figure out how to adjust the recipies and create new ones in no time.

    We have had the tefal cook4me cooker for app 7 months now.
    I am mostly cooking the easy 3 min meals.
    I found chilli con carne to be my favourite,
    The machine is eay to use. You just have to make sure you have the right amount of juice/or water a few times i have had my meal stuck in the cooker because it said low water level. But that was my fault. The cakes taste ok not like you would make in a oven and i try to avoid making deserts just because my own personal taset i dont like the taste of steamed cake. Over all perfect machine looks meat so tender. Would buy again .

Article Genius Beach And Pool Tips Every Aussie Mum Should Know

Genius Beach And Pool Tips Every Aussie Mum Should Know

Summer beach and pool days are core childhood memory creators, but getting the kids out the door, not so much! From wrestling wriggly toddlers into rashies to arguing with teens trying to dodge sunscreen and cramming half the house into the car, the exhaustion can kick in before we’ve even set foot on the sand!

But there are some very clever tips that will make even the most stressful summer days smooth sailing – and the Mouths of Mums community know them all! Which is why we asked our mums for their hints, hacks and tips – from sand removal to stress-free sunscreen application (we’re going to introduce you to the fabulous new Banana Boat SmartMist Sunscreen Sprays that will make your life so much easier). 

You’ll want to take note before you next hit the beach or pool!

Pack Smart, Not Big

Do you feel like you take waaayyy too much when you head to the beach or pool, and then you seem to forget a couple of key things that would have made life so much easier?

Our Mouths of Mums community swear by this fab list of essentials which should be in every mum’s beach kit, and

  • A plastic bag for wet towels and bathers
  • A dry bag for clothes
  • A bucket or basin to wash off sandy toys
  • A ‘clean zone’, sand-free blanket or mat for eating and changing
  • A pop-up tent for changing
  • Waterproof phone case
  • Talcum powder to get sticky, wet sand off little feet. Just pop it on and brush it off – it’s magic!
  • A hand-held car vac for quick sand cleanups!

“The amount of times my kids have gone home in wet chafing swimming costumes because they didn’t want anyone to see them changing is unbelievable! Our pop up tent has been life changing! We all drive home comfy and cosy! Lastly, a sand proof picnic blanket is so perfect for a sand reprieve! The sand literally falls right through them!” – MoM Member

Get Safety Sorted Before The Fun Starts

It’s pretty hard to get the kids’ attention once you’re at the beach or pool, so the safety talk should really start at home. Our mums recommend chatting to the kids about:

  • Swimming between the flags at the beach
  • Setting a meeting spot in case anyone gets separated
  • Sunscreen: Always apply sunscreen 20 minutes before heading outdoors. And set alarms to reapply every two hours throughout the day. Reapply immediately after swimming or using a towel. 

Applying sunscreen at the start of the day and regularly throughout is so important, but it usually causes the most arguments. Kids don’t want to stop, teens assure you they ‘did it already’.

That’s where Banana Boat’s new SmartMist™ Sunscreen Spray SPF50+ actually makes a difference. The iconic sunscreen brand has just launched its newest product, which turns sunscreen time into something simple and fun. It’s an easy and convenient way to tick off sun safety – which isn’t always easy when it comes to kids!

Why Banana Boat SmartMist Sunscreen Spray makes sunscreen easier

  • The Smart Control Spray gives you the choice of a short spray for tricky spots or a long spray for larger areas like those wiggly little legs, making application simple and convenient. It also sprays from any angle – just spray, rub in and you’re ready for playtime.
  • Clear, lightweight formula that absorbs fast and with no greasy feel.
  • SPF50+ broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection and 4-hour water resistant.
  • Kids SmartMist™ is mild and gentle for kid’s sensitive skin, fragrance free and contains Aloe and Vitamin E.
  • Sport SmartMist™ features high-performance Powerstay Technology™, designed to stay on through sweat and water.

Banana Boat SmartMist makes those important sunscreen stops much easier and effective and is perfect for active Aussie families this summer.

Prep & Time It Perfectly

There’s nothing worse than kids itching to get to the beach while you’re trying to remember everything you need to pack – it makes everyone frazzled. So get prepped early – even the night before. And time your departure to minimise the amount of time in the car (and the amount of times the kids ask ‘are we there yet?!’.

“Packing the car the night before, always a huge help getting the bucket, cabana, and bag of spare clothes/towels in the boot. We usually leave straight after breakfast to avoid heavy traffic as the beach is an hour away.” – MoM Member

Pack Smart Snacks

Snacks are a must, but it can be tricky to know what’s going to survive a hot, Aussie summer day – and what’s good for hungry tummies. Here’s what our mums recommend:

  • Chopped fruit
  • Crackers
  • Boiled eggs
  • Drink bottles that have been frozen overnight

“We have a few allergies/intolerances, so being prepared with food is helpful and saves us the search and some money. I pre-chop carrots, cucumber, apples, boiled egg, in a handy separating container, a packet of chips, dip, and bring water bottles. If it’s a longer day planned at the beach I’ll bring lunch too.” – MoM Member

A chaos-free beach day. Yes please!

You don’t need a military-style plan to enjoy a sunny day out. A beach trolley, some prep, and an easy sunscreen like SmartMist™ are enough to help things run calmly – or at least calm-ish!

New Banana Boat Sport SmartMist™ Sunscreen Spray SPF50+ 200ml and Banana Boat Kids SmartMist™ Sunscreen Spray SPF50+ 200ml (RRP $28.00) are available now at leading pharmacies, supermarkets and online retailers nationwide. 

Always read the label and follow the directions for use. Wear protective clothing, a hat and sunglasses in addition to sunscreen. Reapply frequently every 2 hours or more often when sweating and immediately after swimming or using a towel. Avoid prolonged high-risk sun exposure.

  • My biggest tip is to be very clear who’s watching the kids, especially when they’re in the water. Like, actually verbally hand over and make sure it’s acknowledged if you’re going somewhere (like to the bathroom). That can definitely save lives, but also save panics about lost kids in crowded spaces.

  • Some really good tips here! I had no idea about the talcum powder hack – who would have known! That is amazing and I will definitely try it next time we go to the beach! It is definitely worthwhile getting things ready the night before though, especially if you want to leave before midnight lol.
