Cooking Connect Unboxing

The packaging of the Tefal smart health connected scale is fairly classic, but very well done. Indeed, the user has access to a certain number ofessential information directly on the cover of the product : connectivity, compatibility, a vision of the application, … All of which let the user know what to expect.

When you open the box, you don't fall directly on the object in question but on a explanatory brochure to start up your smart health connected scale. The steps which are numbered, give a very clear overview of the few manipulations to be performed.

In the second part of the packaging, we find the object in question: Cooking Connect by Tefal. It is tidy and protected in its box. It should be noted that there is nothing to mount, the scale is ready for use, after pairing, of course, with the associated application.

Under the scale, there is an international warranty and a user manual.

Design and ergonomics

If at first, the Cooking Connect scale looks like a classic kitchen scale, in its use, it goes much further than that … But in terms of its external appearance, it is very pretty with its gray and blue colors and its glass top.

At the bottom of the weighing area which is delimited by small acronyms, there are five buttons, in addition to the display screen: an on / off button, a cross to cancel a weighing, a validation button, a button to select the desired weighing unit and finally, a button to manage the tare.

Note that the Cooking Connect recharges with batteries… In short, it’s a very ergonomic, and its simple design but well thought out makes it a scale that will integrate very well in designer interiors than in family kitchens.

Application of Tefal Cooking Connect

What should be noted in Tefal's smart health connected scale is that the application is not only seen as a means of controlling its balance, but as a real assistant for people who would like to progress in the kitchen or just learn to cook. The application, which has the same name as the scale: Cooking Connect is compatible with devices Android and iOS. Great news for users!

So be careful, because if the scale bears the name of the Tefal brand, the application is under the name of Seb. When you open the application, it will synchronize your data, retrieve the recipes offered, … If your internet connection is poor, it may take a few minutes.

The application first asks you to select the type of scale you have: the classic version or the smart health connected version. From this action, the user can access a whole series of categories : news, recipes (all recipes, top recipes, user favorites, last recipes viewed), recipes are also subdivided according to dishes, a shopping list, tools, a guide and the user account.

From there, it is possible to manage your shopping list in relation to the selected recipes, for example, or simply select the recipe he wishes to make. It is quite possible to make another recipe that is not on the list and use the balance as a conventional balance. In the “tools” category, the user finds a currency converter, which is very handy if you want to make a recipe that you have taken from a foreign media.

As a whole, the application is very ergonomic with its many categories, and everyone can find their account, whether experienced cooks, or novice cooks. In addition the list of recipes is very complete, with desserts, starters, dishes,…

Using the smart health connected scale

From the application, two configurations are available to the user, that of follow a recipe step by step using the associated application, or using the scale as aa classic scale to weigh the elements of his own recipe.

Follow a recipe

When the individual selects a recipe he wishes to make, he first comes across the technical sheet of the said recipe: with the utensils to have, the level of the recipe, a text of the recipe, a box to be able to write down his remarks and a rating system to be able to find your way in your favorite recipes!

Which is really well done inCooking Connect appis that the user can choose how many people they want to make the recipe for. From 1 to 12 people, you are sure not to overdo it and not to end up with leftovers on your arms.

From there, it's child's play! Just follow each step and press the validation button on your smartphone or tablet to go to the next step of the recipe. The units can be set alone and the user must just add its elements one after the other.

It should be noted that a small video is available at each stage if certain tasks or terms in the cooking jargon seem completely obscure to you.

Invent a recipe

If you want to make a recipe that is not in the list of the application, do not panic, just use the scale like a classic scale, with its tare button, its different weighing units, …

This is a good point for the brand, which does not confine its users in the application options only. She allows freedom of movement, because you can use the conversion tool for your own recipes as well as the "shopping list" tool.

So, for cooks who feel they have made enough progress, they can take flight, almost without a net, since the scales will always be there to support you!
