Groupe SEB Maps the Next Stage of Cookeo Infinity’s European Rollout

Groupe SEB is giving its Cookeo Infinity multicooker a wider European horizon. In the company’s latest activity report, the French kitchen-appliance group describes the model as a key part of its electrical-cooking range and says the launch is being extended beyond France and Belgium into Germany, Italy, Poland and Central Europe. That makes Cookeo Infinity more than a single new appliance: it is the platform Groupe SEB is using to refresh its Cookeo offer across several markets.

The timing matters for home cooks because the product combines tasks that are usually split between two countertop machines. Groupe SEB describes Cookeo Infinity as an intelligent multicooker with 20 cooking modes, including pressure cooking and integrated air-fryer technology. Its official Moulinex product page presents the same core idea for consumers: one appliance that can handle pressure cooking, browning, risotto, air frying and other programmed functions.

What the rollout actually changes

Cookeo Infinity first launched in France and Belgium in September 2025, according to the Groupe SEB activity report. The report says the model arrived with 20 cooking modes, 150 embedded recipes and access to thousands more through the companion app. It also says the product helped the group relaunch the broader Cookeo range and focus on expansion into additional European markets.

For shoppers, the practical distinction is the combination of pressure cooking and air frying in the same design. Pressure cooking is suited to dishes that benefit from moist, enclosed heat, such as stews, beans or risottos. Air frying works in the opposite direction, using hot circulating air to brown and crisp food. That pairing does not turn every recipe into a one-button meal, but it can reduce the number of appliances needed for a weeknight cooking routine.

The device also adds an automatic stirring paddle. Moulinex says the paddle is compatible with several modes, including air frying, browning, pressure cooking and risotto. The product page describes step-by-step instructions on the screen, with preset cooking times and temperatures. Those details are relevant to cooks who want structured guidance, while experienced users may prefer to treat the programs as a starting point rather than a replacement for judgment.

A closer look at the everyday use case

Cookeo Infinity’s design is aimed at meals that move through several stages. A cook might brown ingredients first, switch to pressure cooking for the main dish, and use the air-fry tray for a crisp element. Moulinex also lists two-level cooking, with food prepared in the bowl and on the tray, as part of the system. In theory, that makes the appliance interesting for households trying to coordinate a main component and a side without using the hob, oven and air fryer separately.

The connected element is another part of the rollout. The product page says the appliance uses Wi-Fi and the My Moulinex app to provide recipe suggestions that can be followed on the screen. The useful question is not simply how many recipes are available, but whether the guidance fits the ingredients, time and portion size a household actually has. Recipe volume can be convenient; it is not the same thing as tested results for every dish or kitchen.

That distinction is important because Groupe SEB’s report is a corporate account of the launch and sales momentum, not an independent performance test. The report does not establish that every mode cooks faster, crisps more evenly or saves a particular amount of energy in every home. CookingScope has not conducted a human test of Cookeo Infinity, so this article does not assign a score or make a verdict about taste, reliability or value.

Safety still depends on the cook

More automation does not remove the need for safe handling. Pressure-cooking users should read the official instructions before the first use, respect the stated fill limits, check that the sealing parts are correctly fitted and never force the lid while pressure remains inside. Steam can burn, and the bowl, tray and lid can stay hot after a programme ends. When using the air-fry function, food should be arranged according to the manufacturer’s instructions so that hot air can circulate and the tray can be removed safely.

The manufacturer’s page links to the product’s notice, safety instructions and quick-start documents. Those documents should be treated as the authority for the exact model and local version, especially because the model is now being introduced across more than one market. The safest workflow is simple: read the manual, use the displayed programme as directed, check that food is fully cooked where a thermometer is appropriate, and allow the appliance to cool before cleaning.

Why it matters now

Groupe SEB’s report frames Cookeo Infinity as a broader range strategy rather than a one-off launch. The company says the model supports a renewed focus on Cookeo and a geographic push across Germany, Italy, Poland and Central Europe. For home cooks, the practical takeaway is narrower but useful: the market is moving toward appliances that blend pressure cooking, guided recipes, automatic stirring and air frying in one countertop format.

That may appeal to people who want a structured way to cook varied meals in limited kitchen space. It will not suit everyone. A traditional pot, pan or standalone air fryer may remain simpler for cooks who already have a reliable routine, want full manual control or do not want a connected appliance. Until independent testing is available, Cookeo Infinity is best understood as a newly expanded cooking platform with a broad feature set—not as a proven shortcut for every recipe.
