Know before you buy
The scale is integrated directly into the base of the cooker. As you add ingredients to the inner pot, the weight is displayed on the cooker's screen and synced to the CHEF iQ app, allowing you to measure ingredients precisely without needing extra bowls or a separate kitchen scale.
Yes, the auto steam release is designed for hands-free operation, meaning you don't have to manually toggle a valve. The cooker manages the release process automatically once the cooking cycle is complete, keeping your hands away from the hot steam.
While you can use the cooker manually for basic functions, WiFi connectivity is required to access the full library of guided recipes, step-by-step videos, and automatic firmware updates. Connecting to the app significantly enhances the smart features and precision cooking capabilities.
Absolutely. The unit is highly versatile and includes dedicated settings for slow cooking, steaming, searing, sautéing, and rice cooking. It functions as a comprehensive multi-cooker for a wide range of meal preparation needs.
The cooker comes with a stainless steel inner pot, a silicone lid for storage, a steam basket, and a steam rack. These accessories are designed to help you utilize the various cooking functions right out of the box.
The stainless steel inner pot is dishwasher safe, making cleanup straightforward. However, the main unit housing the electronics should only be wiped down with a damp cloth.
