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

See, in the US? Twizzlers are red licorice candy.

As I have never seen a Turkey Twizzler in real life, I'm imagining all sorts of odd meat and sweet combinations...

I hope they want people who can cook or I really am out before I even start!

I knows what capers are! it's what the DC do when they're supposed to be going to bed!
Just kidding, I love the idea of cooking fabby meals etc, but shortage of time and skills bugger it up.

Can someone tell me where you can buy turkey twizzlers? I remember having them in school and want to see if they taste like I remember. :o

Try Iceland, SchrodingersMew. I refuse to cook those, there's so little turkey in them they must breach the trades descriptions act!

Capers go in the mayo when you are having fish fingers instead of chicken nuggets, innit.

I don't think Turkey Twizzlers have ever even been within 30miles of a real turkey!

Hot dogs in a can don't actually contain dogs, you know. Nor do they contain a lot of meat. Canned meat balls are just as bad.

I'll have a look in Iceland, thanks LadySybil :o.

Failing that, there's also FarmFoods possibly??

None in Farmfoods. :( I've checked...

They do have in Icelands Findus Crispy Pancakes, which are nothing like actually pancakes, but might be a secret bad habit of mine. Plus you can buy Greggs stuff and cook it yourself, imagine that - homemade Greggs sausage roll!

Homemade Gregg's sausage rolls are so much better than shop made ones! And the apple pastry things are amazing, especially with carte d'or vanilla ice cream

I made toad in the hole last night - and then made extra Yorkshire puddings and had them with cream and golden syrup

They're amazing but very, very bad

You may as well give them a pot noodle for supper. You can't go wrong with noodles.

I need this!!! My children need this :)

No news?

Do you think if I marched into Recipease and told them I was there to pick up my HomeCooker that would work?

I made a chilli last night and had to keep sitting down. Would have been so much easier with the home cooker.

Will you pick mine up while you're there, Paw?

No news yet? Phone beeps with emails and I'm hoping one is from MNHQ about this

Oh it's closed, the anticipation! I really want to do this one.

Gauchita - can I borrow yours for a play if you get it - and vice versa?

Mistlethrush, of course!

Is it today we find out?
