Most recipes are written for a pan and a stove. On the Cookeo the same dish usually cooks under pressure in a fraction of the time, as long as you change the time, the liquid and sometimes the order of the steps. Here is how, and how CookAdapt does it for you.

What changes when a recipe moves to the Cookeo
Browning stays the same: brown meat and soften onions with the lid open, stirring by hand, because the Cookeo has no blades and doesn’t stir for you. Chopping and other prep happen before, on a board.
The long simmer is what changes. A stew that bubbles for two hours on the stove takes about 30 minutes under high pressure. Quick-cooking vegetables need only a few minutes, so they are often added after the pressure step or cooked in the steam basket.
Under pressure the pot loses almost no water, so you need less liquid than on the stove, but never less than 250 ml of thin liquid such as water or stock. Fill the pot two-thirds at most, and only half for rice, pulses and pasta.
What not to cook under pressure
Foods that foam can block the valve: stewed fruit and compote, oats and other cereals, split peas and most pasta. Cook them with the lid open on simmer instead.
Milk or cream as the main cooking liquid catches on the bottom. Cook with water or stock under pressure, then stir the cream, milk or coconut milk in once the pressure is released.
Let CookAdapt convert the recipe
Paste the link, a video or the text of the recipe. CookAdapt picks the Cookeo mode for each step, sets the pressure, the time and how to release it, adds water when the recipe has too little liquid, and lists the prep as manual steps.
Cookeo cooking times: stovetop vs pressure
Typical high-pressure times for common ingredients, next to the usual time on the stove. Pressure time starts once the pot is under pressure; building pressure takes another 5 to 10 minutes.
| Ingredient | On the stove | Cookeo, high pressure |
|---|---|---|
| Beef stew, 3–4 cm cubes | 2–3 h | 25–35 min, natural release |
| Lamb shoulder, 3 cm cubes | 1½–2 h | 30–40 min, natural release |
| Whole chicken (1.2–1.6 kg) | 1 h 15 in the oven | 25–30 min, natural release |
| Boneless chicken thighs, in pieces | 30–40 min | 8–10 min, quick release |
| Dried beans, soaked | 1–1½ h | 15–25 min, natural release |
| Green or brown lentils | 25–35 min | 8–12 min, natural release |
| White rice | 15–18 min | 5–7 min, then 10 min rest |
| Risotto rice | 18–20 min | 6–8 min, quick release |
| Bulgur | 12–15 min | 7 min, quick release |
| Potato cubes (3 cm) | 15–20 min | 7 min, quick release |
| Diced vegetables in the steam basket | 8–12 min | 1–3 min, quick release |
Natural release: leave the Cookeo on keep warm for 10–15 minutes before opening. Quick release: open as soon as the lid unlocks. Times come from Moulinex’s own Cookeo recipes and CookAdapt’s conversion rules; check that the food is done and add a few minutes if needed.

Frequently asked questions
How much liquid do I need under pressure?
At least 250 ml of thin liquid such as water or stock. Thick sauces and cream don’t count; stir them in after the pressure is released. CookAdapt adds water when a recipe has too little.
Do I have to brown the meat first?
For stews, yes: browning gives flavour that pressure cooking alone doesn’t. Brown with the lid open, then deglaze so nothing sticks to the bottom before you close the lid.
Can I convert a Thermomix recipe for the Cookeo?
Yes. Paste it like any other recipe: CookAdapt drops the blade settings, moves chopping to manual steps and rewrites the cooking for the Cookeo’s modes.
Is CookAdapt free?
Yes. Free accounts get 10 conversions per month for every device, plus meal planning and shopping lists. Pro costs €4.99 a month or €44.99 a year (7 days free) and unlocks unlimited conversions (fair use) and PDF export.
