Tefal, the inventors of easy to clean non-stick pots and pans launches a new concept in healthy cooking using revolutionary new products.

Tefal’s "Nutritious & Delicious’’ healthy range of cooking approach from Tefal was born from the desire  to combine nutrition and pleasure. It is based on three  main pillars : Nutrition - preservation of nutrients with guaranteed scientific proofs  resulting from Research and Development.

Pleasure is the other tenet.  Thanks to advanced and innovative technologies these appliances allow a high preservation of nutritional quality and maximum flavor of all foods. Convenience is the other characteristic of the ‘’Nutritious and Delicious,’’ range which are practical and ingenious cooking appliances that make our daily life easier.

"Nutricook is  part of Tefal’s Nutritious and Delicious range of products born from the desire to combine nutrition and pleasure and to respond to new requirements and consumer demand," said Nathalie Fata Haddad, Product Manager Cookware, Middle East/Indian Sub Continent. “Research and Development has confirmed that steam cooking is without a doubt the method that best retains the nutritional qualities of food.”

She added that Nutricook uses an air vent system that activates automatically when cooking starts. The vent eliminates up to 90% of the oxygen present in the pressure cooker.  Oxygen has been found to degrade its nutritional quality.

Other features of Nutricook are the optimized steamer basket developed based on cutting edge research on the steam flow inside the pressure cooker during cooking. The steam first flushes out the oxygen and thus ensures maximum preservation of vitamins and flavor with up to two times more vitamin C in vegetables.

The solid wall of the Nutricook basket prevents the oxygen from coming back into contact with the food.  The other innovation in this product is the soft steam cooking phase at the end of the cooking process which would ensure a perfect cooking to the core of the meat for example without overdoing the meat surface.


Ms. Haddad added that Nutricook is the only pressure cooker in the world with four exclusive programmes for meat, vegetables, starchy food, and fish which is being launched in the Middle East simultaneous with the launch in France.”
