Tefal Advanced Pressure Cooker CY621D32

Russian stove in your kitchen

The Tefal CY 621 pressure cooker is made in a traditional design and, like many of its counterparts, resembles an electric saucepan with an impressive removable lid.

On the front side there is a clear control panel with an informative display. As for the build quality, the manufacturer did a good job and the device turned out to be stable without gaps and backlashes.

A large assortment

The instructions say 32 built-in programs that allow you to cook dishes for every day and for a special occasion. However, if we consider the functionality, then there are only 18 main programs, plus the "Heating" and "Manual mode" functions. It's just that some of them are divided by type of food, which expands the culinary possibilities.

For lovers of proper nutrition, the sous-vide mode will be useful, which allows you to preserve the useful elements and juices of the product as much as possible.

spherical bowl

The main feature that distinguishes the model from competitors is a spherical bowl with a ceramic coating (volume 4.8 L). These design features allow hot air to circulate during cooking, giving the effect of a traditional oven. The bowl, like all accessories, can be washed in the dishwasher, however, for cleaning it is necessary to choose gentle modes so that the non-stick coating lasts a long time.

You can cook with or without pressure while cooking, and the built-in timer will keep your meal hot for up to 24 hours.

Minor disadvantages include modest instructions that do not give recommendations on how to use the spherical shape of the bowl for standard dishes.
