Read the full description
The XPRESS Lachef by Lufthous is a programmable pressure multicooker: an electric cooker with a 5-litre non-stick pot that cooks under pressure, with steam and at low temperature, and is run from a panel with the programmes labelled in Spanish. It is for anyone who wants to make pulses, stews or rice without watching the hob, or to cook ahead for several days. It has no blades, so it does not chop or grind: its job is to cook.
An electric pressure cooker you can programme
You choose the programme, close the lid and press Cocinar (cook): the cooker builds up pressure and keeps track of the time while you do something else. It has 8 pressure levels, to give a meat stew more force or treat vegetables more gently, and the sealed lid stays locked while there is pressure inside. When it finishes, the Mantener calor (keep warm) button keeps the food hot until it is time to serve.
16 programmes in one multicooker
The panel has twelve menus, among them pulses, stews, fish, vegetables, pasta, sauté, desserts and cakes, plus four direct buttons for what you cook most often: rice, meat, omelette and slow cooking. Each programme starts from settings designed for that kind of dish, and with the temperature, time and pressure buttons you adapt them to your recipe.
A slow cooker and sous vide cooking at home
When there is no hurry, the slow cooking programme works at low temperature for hours, and the cooker can be programmed for up to 24 hours: a casserole or meat in sauce cooks little by little with nobody watching it. At low temperature you can also make yogurt or let a dough rise.
The sous vide function cooks vacuum-packed food, such as a piece of meat or a fish loin, in water at a low, steady temperature, so it cooks evenly from one end to the other.
Steaming, and the accessories included
The rack and the perforated disc hold vegetables, fish or potatoes above the water to cook them with the steam programmes. The spoon and the measuring cup, designed for rice, complete the set, together with a recipe book in Spanish to get you started.
New, in its box and with a guarantee

How to use the programmable cooker
Prepare the ingredients
Cut them beforehand and, if the recipe starts with a sofrito, make it in the pot with the Sofreír (sauté) programme.
Add the liquid
Pour in the water or stock for the recipe without going past the maximum mark; with pulses and rice, stay lower.
Close the lid
Lower it until it clicks into place and locks, and check that the valve is in position.
Choose and press Cocinar
Pick a menu or a direct button, adjust the time or pressure if you wish and press Cocinar (cook).
Let the pressure drop
When it finishes, wait for the pressure to come down before opening the lid.
Cleaning and care
Unplug the cooker and let it cool before cleaning it. The pot lifts out: wash it with hot water, washing-up liquid and a soft sponge, never a metal scourer, and use wooden or silicone utensils to look after the non-stick coating. After each use, clean the lid seal and the valve and check that they are back in place. Wipe the body with a damp cloth, never under the tap.
Frequently asked questions
Does the XPRESS Lachef chop or grind like a food processor?
No. It is a programmable pressure cooker and has no blades, so it does not chop, grind or knead. What it does is cook: under pressure, with steam, at low temperature and sous vide, as well as sautéing in the pot and keeping food warm. The ingredients are cut beforehand, by hand or with another appliance.
Is it a genuine Lufthous cooker?
Yes. It is the Lufthous XPRESS Lachef, new, unused and in its original box. It has the 3-year legal guarantee of any new appliance, which we handle directly, and you can pay for it on delivery.
What guarantee does it have and who handles it?
It has a 3-year legal guarantee in Spain and Portugal, and we handle it directly. If the cooker develops a fault, you write to us, we look into it and it is repaired or replaced as the case requires. You also have 14 days from delivery to return it if you change your mind.
How much food fits in a 5-litre programmable cooker?
The pot has a volume of 5 litres, enough to cook for the family or to make portions for several days. Bear in mind that a pressure cooker is never filled to the top: keep below the maximum mark in the pot, and lower still with pulses and rice, which swell and foam.
How do you cook sous vide in this cooker?
You vacuum-pack the food in a bag suitable for cooking, place it in the pot covered with water and cook at low temperature with the programme and time given in the recipe book or the instructions. That way the piece cooks slowly and evenly. To vacuum-pack at home you need a vacuum sealer.
Are the panel and the recipe book in Spanish?
Yes. The programmes and buttons on the panel are labelled in Spanish, as you can see in the photos, and the cooker comes with a recipe book in Spanish. Keep this in mind if you are buying from Portugal or elsewhere; the icons on the four direct buttons help you recognise each programme at a glance.
