Description
Flavour-Packed Meals. Zero Supervision. Automatic Pressure Release for Effortless Multicooking.
Make everyday cooking easier with the Philips 3000 Series Multicooker HD2616/70. Combining pressure cooking, steaming, baking, slow cooking, sautéing and reheating in one versatile appliance, it gives you a convenient way to prepare everything from meat and rice to soups, porridge, stews and even desserts.
Unlike traditional multicookers that can require you to manually turn a steam valve or press a release button, Philips True Auto Pressure Release automatically releases steam at the end of pressure cooking. This creates a more hands-free cooking experience from start to finish while removing the need for manual pressure release.
Philips DualPulse Pressure Technology takes pressure cooking a step further by alternating between high and low pressure rather than simply maintaining steady pressure. This creates a precise cooking curve designed to lock in flavour, with Philips reporting meat results that are up to 13% juicier and 28% more tender under its specified testing conditions.
Choose from 13 preset programmes covering dishes and ingredients including beef, lamb, chicken, duck, soup, rice and porridge. A manual setting provides additional flexibility, while adjustable time, temperature and pressure settings help you tailor compatible programmes to suit different recipes.
The generous 6-litre capacity is ideal for preparing everyday meals, while an intuitive light bar lets you follow cooking progress through key stages including heating, pressure build-up, pressure maintenance and automatic pressure release.
With 13 integrated safety protection systems, a durable PFAS-free ceramic-coated inner pot and useful accessories included, the Philips 3000 Series Multicooker brings together convenience, versatility and precise cooking in one powerful 1000W appliance.

True Auto Pressure Release
Enjoy genuinely hands-free pressure cooking with Philips True Auto Pressure Release.
Unlike traditional multicookers that can require manual valve turning or button pressing to release pressure, the HD2616/70 automatically releases steam at the end of pressure cooking. This removes a manual step from the cooking process and provides effortless end-to-end operation.
As with any pressure-cooking appliance, the multicooker should always be operated according to Philips' safety and usage instructions, particularly when opening the appliance following pressure cooking.
DualPulse Pressure Technology
Philips DualPulse Pressure Technology is designed to unlock deeper, richer flavour by creating a more precise pressure-cooking curve.
Instead of maintaining steady pressure throughout the process, the system alternates between high and low pressure during cooking. This controlled variation is designed to help lock in flavour and improve the texture and juiciness of meat.
Under Philips' specified testing conditions, DualPulse cooking can deliver meat that is up to 13% juicier and 28% more tender compared with the referenced traditional multicooking method. Actual results can vary according to ingredients, recipe and cooking conditions.
13 Preset Cooking Programmes
Take the guesswork out of everyday meals with 13 convenient preset programmes.
The selection covers a variety of ingredients and dishes, with examples including beef, lamb, chicken, duck, soup, rice and porridge. Simply choose the appropriate programme and let the multicooker handle the cooking process.
Combined with dedicated cooking methods including pressure cooking, steaming, baking, slow cooking, sautéing and reheating, the HD2616/70 provides plenty of flexibility from breakfast through to dinner.
Pressure Cooking
Pressure cooking provides a convenient way to prepare flavourful meals in less time than many traditional cooking methods.
Combined with DualPulse Pressure Technology and automatic pressure release, the Philips 3000 Series is designed to make the entire process more convenient while delivering rich results.
Steam, Bake, Slow Cook, Sauté & Reheat
The HD2616/70 goes well beyond pressure cooking, bringing several useful cooking methods together in one appliance.
Steam ingredients for lighter dishes, bake suitable recipes, slowly cook dishes over longer periods, sauté ingredients during preparation or reheat food when required.
This multifunctional design helps reduce the need to switch between several separate cooking appliances when preparing everyday meals.
Manual Setting for Your Own Recipes
When you want greater control than a preset programme provides, the manual setting allows you to customise cooking according to your preferences.
Compatible preset programmes also allow adjustments to time, temperature and pressure, helping you adapt the appliance to different recipes and desired results.
Customised Slow Cook & Sauté Temperatures
Different recipes benefit from different levels of heat, so Philips provides customised high and low temperature settings for both Slow Cook and Sauté.
This gives you additional control when gently cooking ingredients over time or using higher heat during preparation.
Cook Meals Faster
The Philips 3000 Series is designed to get meals onto the table sooner, with Philips stating cooking can be up to 70% faster than traditional methods under its specified comparison conditions.
The actual time saving will depend on the recipe, quantity, selected programme and cooking method.
Designed to Use Less Energy
Philips also states that the multicooker can save up to 80% energy compared with the traditional cooking methods used for its comparison.
Energy consumption will vary depending on the dish, programme, cooking duration and alternative cooking method being compared.
Real-Time Cooking Progress
Stay informed throughout the cooking process with an intuitive light bar that provides real-time status information.
The indicator lets you follow key cooking stages including heat-up, pressure build-up, pressure maintenance and automatic pressure release, so you can see how your meal is progressing without needing to supervise the process continuously.
13 Safety Protection Systems
Pressure cooking requires carefully controlled operation, which is why Philips has equipped the HD2616/70 with 13 safety protection systems.
These integrated safeguards are designed to support safe and reliable everyday operation when the appliance is used in accordance with Philips' instructions.
Heavy-Duty Ceramic-Coated Inner Pot
The multicooker features a durable heavy-duty inner pot designed for convenient everyday cooking.
Its ceramic coating is specified as PFAS-free and is designed to resist sticking and scratches, helping make both cooking and cleaning easier.
To help preserve the cooking surface, always follow Philips' instructions regarding suitable utensils, cleaning methods and ongoing care.
Generous 6-Litre Capacity
With a 6-litre capacity, the Philips 3000 Series provides plenty of room for everyday meals, whether you're cooking meat, rice, soups, stews or other compatible recipes.
The generous pot size also gives you flexibility when preparing larger quantities or batch-cooking food for later.
