Tefal Spherical Pot Rice Cookers with 35 cooking functions

With rice being our staple food here in the Philippines, no wonder that at a young age most of us learned how to cook it. From the traditional clay pot where it was used to be cooked then to our trusty "kalderos" at home, It takes the right amount of water and just the right flame to cook the rice and if you weren't lucky enough, you'll either toast the rice or it will end up uncooked.

Nowadays you do not need to undergo years of training to cook rice in a right manner, all you need to do is rely on your kitchen buddy rice cooker and it will do the job for you.

Rice cookers have already surpassed its sole purpose and have become a versatile kitchen appliance, aside from cooking, some find it perfect for baking, cooking viands, and many more.

So with this being said, French cookware and small domestic appliances (SDA) manufacturer Tefal’s first-of-its-kind spherical pot rice cookers have arrived in the Philippines and are set to revolutionize the way Filipinos cook their staple food.

Round in shape unlike the usual rice cooker, the Tefal Optimal, and Initial Spherical Pot Rice Cookers seem to have taken inspiration from the palayok or the traditional clay pot that Filipinos had used in the past to cook delicious rice and even viands.

Both variants use the exclusive Tefal Spherical Pot technology that makes each grain of rice fluffier, flavorful, and superior in texture. This is made possible by its 62-degree golden angle that gives the ideal circular heat convection for homogeneous and delicious cooking.

This 3D heating with uniform side, bottom, and top heat transfer give an optimal and balanced cooking performance – much better than that of the flat vertical-horizontal heating of other models. The Tefal pot rice cookers also have Artificial Intelligence Technology with Fuzzy Logic that enables the rice cookers to determine different types of ingredients and deliver the best cooking performance by automatically adjusting cooking time and temperature, to always give tasty and perfect results.

As its name suggests, the Tefal Optimal Spherical Pot Rice Cooker (RK8145) also optimizes cooking functions with its 35 built-in cooking programs that can cook a variety of ingredients beyond rice including clay pot, porridge, congee, steam, slow cook, soup, or even dessert. The Tefal Initial Spherical Pot Rice Cooker (RK7405), meanwhile, also have nine cooking programs to choose from.

Michael Yu, Marketing Director Hongkong and the Philippines of Groupe SEB Asia, the world leader in small domestic equipment that owns Tefal, said that Tefal reinvented cooking with the non-stick pan when it tried to address the need of the market for simpler, attractive and multi-functional kitchenware.

“And Tefal is still at it – reinventing cooking – this time with rice. This staple food for every Filipino is very easy to cook, and anyone can do it – and yes, you can use any kind of pot or rice cooker to do it. But for Tefal, rice cooked in just any type of pot or electric rice cooker is not enough. This is because Filipinos deserve perfectly cooked rice every time. And they can do just that with the Tefal spherical pot rice cooker. That’s why it is revolutionary,” Yu said.
