Chocolate Hazelnut Hot Fudge Pudding Cake {Redmond Multicooker Recipe & Review}

April 17, 2015 by Elizabeth 20 Comments

A recipe commissioned by Redmond.

Chocolate Hazelnut Hot Fudge Pudding Cake

 

As a food blogger I am regularly approached by a wide variety of food related companies looking for honest opinions about their products or services. I love these challenges – trying out new things is something I really enjoy, so when Redmond contacted me last year asking if I’d like to try out their new Redmond Multicooker 4502 I jumped at the chance.

Redmond are a leading company in modern appliances and advanced technology. They are striving to create products designed specifically to fit in with our modern, busy lifestyles. They have created the Multicooker 4502 – an appliance developed to create tasty dishes at the push of a button.

So, my multicooker arrived fairly quickly after being dispatched, but the box…. well, the box was rather confusing…

I do realise that different cultures advertise things in different ways. The international company Redmond have a very different advertising strategy than perhaps the UK or Canadian market are more accustomed to. The box did make me chuckle though, a lot!

Is it a beauty product?! Will using this in my kitchen make me look like her?!

Redmond Multicooker 4502

Unpacking the box this is what I found:

  • the multicooker device with lid, carrying handle and LCD control panel
  • an inner aluminium lid
  • a removable non-stick bowl with a 5 litre capacity
  • a stirring paddle
  • a measuring cup
  • a steaming container
  • a serving spoon
  • a frying basket
  • bowl extraction tongs
  • a serving spoon/stirring paddle holder
  • a user manual and recipe booklet

Now, I admit, the appliance is rather space age looking. My husband said it reminded me of the Daft Punk helmet! There is some rather lovely detailing on the outside of the device itself and on the outer edging of the bowl, meaning meals can be served directly from the unit to the table.

With 16 automatic programs including steam, fry, stew, cook, pasta, soup and cake and 18 programs with manual control (multicook) the Redmond multicooker claims to be able to replace most appliances in the kitchen including your oven, stove top, bread machine, yogurt maker, deep frier, slow cooker, steamer, fondue pot and much more.

A recipe book (which you can download and browse from here) is packed with plenty of tried and tested ideas for making the most out of the multicooker. All you need to do is to put in the ingredients, select the correct setting, close the lid, and the multicooker does all the work for you leaving you free to do other things with your time (like do your make up and hair like the model on the front of the box?!).

Us food bloggers have also been challenged to create recipes with our review samples, and so for the first of my recipes I recreated one of my childhood favourite hot fudge pudding cakes, best served piping hot with a great big dollop of ice cream or lashings of double cream. Pure indulgence!

Chocolate Hazelnut Hot Fudge Pudding Cake

I have to say this peculiar looking appliance has grown on me. I’m really impressed at the capacity of the bowl – feeding a growing family of five is no problem with the five litre bowl, and the whole unit is fairly lightweight and easy to store/transport. The bowl is really non-stick too; food just slides off it!

I think it would be ideal for smaller flats and kitchens where there just isn’t enough space to store very many kitchen appliances. This machine really is an all-in-one. Student flats, dormitories with no kitchen facilities or even camper vans might all benefit from the inclusion of this appliance. I even had a notion to take it with us while out glamping – those little wooden huts often have electricity but no kitchen facilities – this would be perfect to slow cook meat in sauce before slapping it on the barbecue!

So, back to the chocolate hazelnut hot fudge pudding cake – gorgeous! Opening the lid after the 45 minute cooking time revealed a gorgeous spongy chocolate cake swimming in ooey gooey bubbling hot fudge sauce. I tested the recipe out on several people, all of whom ooh-ed and ahh-ed while gleefully scoffing their helpings with cream. I did notice that the bottom of the mixture formed a crunchy layer soon after it cooled down, a layer which we all enjoyed. I also left the remainders of a second batch to cool and stored it overnight in the multicooker itself, and this crunchy layer softened and the sauce soaked into the cake creating a lovely, dense, fudgey dessert. So, hot or cold this pudding is remarkably moreish!

The Redmond Multicooker 4502 retails for £119. For recipe inspiration you can find Redmond on Facebook and Twitter and do visit their website to find out more!

    Chocolate and hazelnuts always go well together – this is no exception. Adding double cream will make this one irresistible.

    Since I found Bintu’s post about her Redmond, I’ve been seriously considering getting one. I’m not sure which one would be best for me, but it’s an amazing machine – especially now that it’s just the 2 of us at home! Top of my “To try” list will be your amazing fudge cake/pudding gooey recipe – yum!!

    The packaging is bizarre! If I am honest, it would probably put me off the product if I saw it on the shelf in the shops! The hot fudge pudding cake looks perfect though…. so gooey and chocolatey…… I need this right now!

    I did a double take at the packaging too – but I have a soft spot for these sort of puddings and any appliance that can make it that easy gets my vote!

    Wow I am going to have to make this recipe for my sisters bday, that’s two desserts I’ll be making now, both your recipes! The cooker looks great, I just think that as much as I try, I buy appliances like this, they end up in my “Cupboard of the forgotten”, then when full, I pass them on to my family and friends. I’m going to have a good look at the multi cooker, it does look handy!

    Wow what a useful multicooker. Can you cook rice in it as I’m useless as cooking rice? The recipe looks very delicious too.
