Can the Tefal RK8121 pressure cook?

No. It is a programmable multi cooker with 45 presets, not a pressure cooker, so it cannot match Instant Pot-style pressure cooking times.

The bowl holds about 5 liters (1.32 gallons), enough for family-sized rice, soups and stews, and its oval shape fits a whole chicken.

Can it sear or deep fry?

Only lightly. The maximum temperature is 320°F, so browning is weak and deep frying is better done in a dedicated fryer.

Is the bowl dishwasher safe?

Yes, the non-stick bowl and removable parts are listed as dishwasher safe, though hand washing protects the coating longer.

Yes, yogurt is one of the 45 programs, along with rice, soup, stew, steam, bake and fry.

What comes in the box?

The cooker, its non-stick bowl, lid and a measuring cup or spoon are typical; check the listing for the exact accessories included.

Our take on the Tefal RK8121

The Tefal RK8121 is an 800 W oval multi cooker with a 5 L bowl and 45 preset programs covering rice, soups, stews, steaming, frying, baking, yogurt and more. Its oval shape fits a whole chicken or long cuts of meat better than round cookers, and the non-stick bowl, timer, keep-warm and automatic shutoff make it a set-and-forget appliance. It suits families who want one pot for everyday cooking without learning a pressure cooker. Against Instant Pot-style rivals it lacks pressure cooking and air frying, and its 320°F ceiling limits searing and deep frying compared with dedicated fryers.

What reviewers say

Owners of Tefal's programmable multi cookers generally praise the convenience of one-pot rice, soups and stews and the easy-clean non-stick bowl. Common complaints centre on the low maximum temperature, which makes browning and frying weak, and on the plastic lid and bulky body.
