We have been using the Philips Homecooker and chopping tower for a month now and have cooked with it frequently using a variety of recipes listed on the website. I am throughly impressed with the results we have achieved and I couldn't recommend the Homecooker and chopping tower enough. As I work from home using my kitchen to bake, I have found that having the Homecooker on hand when I am busy working in the kitchen, means my family are no longer going without a decent home cooked meal when my oven is in use. This has improved our home life greatly. My husband has also enjoyed preparing many meals in the Homecooker and even the children have got involved following the recipes under supervision. Workspace is a constant problem in our kitchen with my work taking over, and although the Homecooker and chopping tower now take up space on the worktop, when in use the preparation area is really confined as there aren't lots of pots and pans and a chopping board taking up space. The chopping tower fits nicely beside the Homecooker and is an added luxury to 'cutting' down the preparation time! We have found the recipes easy to follow, the meals tasty and the homecooker quick to set up and also clean up after. The stirring feature sets the Homecooker above and beyond any other product of it's kind. Once the timer is set you can confidently walk away from the homecooker and carry on with something else, knowing that your meal is in safe hands. And it's just that, an extra pair of hands in the kitchen! Every busy mothers dream! Once again, as I use my kitchen for my work, the stirring attatchment and timer, allows me to go back to my work, knowing exactly how long I have before the homecooker requires my attention again. And when this working mother decides to play, the homecooker becomes a god send when hosting a dinner party. I found the keep warm feature ideal on this occassion, keeping my cooked from scratch meal at a safe and even temperture whilst I put the children to bed, welcomed my guests and like a true domestic goddess served up a delicious piping hot meal right on schedule! Superwoman?! No, Homecooker woman! One small piece of advice I would give a homecooker user, would be not to panic if when using the main metal pan you notice it start to brown (a fine example would be when using the 'Jamie Oliver Breakfast recipe). Please rest assured, even when washing up by hand the pan comes clean with great ease and ours looked as good as new within minutes! Although I would love to keep my domestic goddess status and keep the Homecooker and Chopping Tower a safely guarded secret, it would be a sin not to share this time saving piece of electrical kitchenware with the world!

I use my HomeCooker so often I've stopped putting it away! It is easy to use and to clean afterwards.
