NOW CLOSED: Want to try the new HomeCooker (worth £350) from Philips to the test? Cooks needed....

[AnnMumsnet]

We've been asked by Philips to find 15 MNers UK based who are willing to put their new HomeCooker (and cutting tower) to the MN test! This is a brand new product and MNers will be among the first to try it.

The HomeCooker is the first in the new range of kitchen appliances that has been co-created by Philips and Jamie Oliver and is a first-of-its-kind, multi-functional device that does the preparation as well as the cooking, meaning you can cook fresh and stay fresh.

For more information please see www.philips.co.uk/e/homecooker/home.html

Philips say "Enabling you to prepare homemade meals even on your busiest days, the HomeCooker has been specially designed to achieve authentic home cooking with ease. It can chop, stir, steam and sauté and be left cooking unattended".

As Jamie Oliver explains: "We all know it can be a struggle to get fresh, homemade food on the table every day, especially for busy parents who have to juggle so much. It's often a real tradeoff between spending time with the family and getting fresh food on the table. The beauty of the Philips HomeCooker is that it removes this dilemma - you can now do both! Whether you're a beginner cook or a more experienced chef, the HomeCooker takes the pressure off in the kitchen. Because it stirs itself you don't have to stand over a stove but you can still invest all that love and creativity into your meal."

For this we're looking for a range of people - it's aimed at those who like to and want to cook fresh meals but often struggle to find the time.

If you're selected for this product test you will be sent the HomeCooker (and cutting tower) and ingredients to follow one of the recipes provided. You may also want you to try some of your favourites in it.

We'll need you to add three lots of feedback:

1.  First impressions on a thread on site
   

2.  Your opinion after you've been using it for a couple of weeks on a thread (we will add more questions to the thread)
   

3.  A review on <a class="break-all" href="http://www.mumsnet.com/reviews/household-appliances/ovens-cookers-and-hobs" target="_blank">the MN Reviews section</a>
   

So long as you do all three you will be able to keep the HomeCooker after testing (RRP £350).

We'd also like testers to send in about 5 photos of the food you create using the HomeCooker - these can be anonymous and will be used on the Philips Facebook pages

If you'd like to put it through the paces please sign up here - if you are selected we will be in touch.

Thanks and good luck

Well?

Well?

Surely it's too late to hear today??!

Nah. They keep them chained to the radiators at Mumsnet Towers, so I hear.

I rubbed my USP all up in their faces, and followed it up with selling my soul to Jamie Oliver. Might as well tell 'em why you think you'll be a good tester and really put the product through it's paces. Me and my PA are waiting with baited breath to see if we get a shiny new toy to play with.

PA!? You'll be disqualified then. No helpers...

Isnt down to Zphillips to choose based on what demographic they require?

Therefore making the begging, pleading and foot tapping somewhat unnecessary and somewhat demeaning? [grin{

It down to Phillips

And

Blardy phone!

I can see there being some epic tantrums on here in the near future!

but not from me cos I'm getting picked

I want one

I'm so not going to make the grade, even though I really really want one....should have spent some time copying reading everyone elses' 'pick mes' before I filled the form, not after :(

I've got everything so crossed that I'm going to fall over...I didn't beg very much (I didn't know we were supposed to) but I did manage to almost burn the leeks for a pie yesterday trying to deal with DD and DS at once yesterday and it's only going to get worse once I'm working!

I need my PA. :( Does that really disqualify me? Although if the product is as good as it claims, I may manage without her a bit more often. She already lost four hours a week to a mobility scooter, she'll be peeved if she loses another seven to a wonder cooker.

Ah I thought you were a high falootin' business woman with a PA filling out your forms as you steered the country out of the recession. Of course, maybe you are...

I sued to be a PA...does that disqualify me?

I'll never get to do it as they never like to ship to NI. It's like we're in a different country or something...

Used to be...I have never sued someone who was a PA or ever sued anyone, actually.

Right good, that's Tee off the list. Anyone else want to declare themselves out? :o

take those off, Boobs, you hussy!

Is today the day??

Sod off, honey, they're real!

I see you shiver with antici?

I'm now singing The Timewalk. At my desk. In the office.....

Damn you Blathers
