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

Better now?

hussy!

Here's a wet sloppy one mwwwwweaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Busted!

Are mnhq picking or are Phillips? so I know who to send this basket of muffins and wine too just curious

Ahhh... yes, better

Ahem MNHQ, some of us are actually patiently waiting for the results from the MN Jury and paying attention. You might notice that some of the applicants have been distracted and are now snogging in a corner. Therefore, if I were you I'd be seriously doubting their dedication to the cause. I think you can rule them out.

Thank you :)

I'm actually getting a bit hungry now. So is DS

Are we supposed to hear today?

I already have. Yippee!

I hope we find out soon. I've got to get the dinner on and I'll hold off on it if there's a shiny new gadget coming my way. Don't want to dirty the chip pan for nothing...

Fibber :o

Aw have you? That means I won't be a chosen one

If it's been popular, Ann will no doubt be wading through tonnes of applications tearing her hair out and shaking from all the coffee.

It usually takes a while before they send out emails...or in my case...don't send me an email

Well I think you're the only one!

Yes. Jamie is bringing it around himself. He just called me 'Sister', he says 'I'm bringin' it raaaaand ta ya m'sel, coz you're so cool. Just don't tell Joolz'.

True.

Oh thank god you're lying :o

Well that made me check my email anyway!

I've had another read of that info and now I'm wondering whether it really as adaptable....

I'm resisting looking too much at the website as I'll only be more disappointed if when I don't get picked if I've spent ages drooling over it.

Looks like it might save me buying the Food Processor and the Slow cooker I've been saving up for though which would be amazing and would save a lot of cupboard space too.

Well, I've had another look at it, and I've decided that I'll still let them give one to me.

This is like the fridge tester thread all over again

F5 F5 F5!

Looking at some of these posts, I'm not sure that my begging application was good enough.
