Groupe SEB - 2023 Yearbook

FROM EASE OF MOVEMENT TO INNOVATIVE DESIGN

In 1971, its on-trend design became a talking point as it adopted colors, then a floral decor. The

Cocotte-Minute

pressure cooker was continually perfected from model to model, keeping ahead

of people’s requirements. Now in stainless steel, it was made lighter and even easier to use. In

1987, the arrival of the Sensor pressure cooker, with a bayonet opening and closing mechanism

(by rotation), marked a turning point in the consumer experience. Seven years later, a revolutionary

new range was launched: the Clipso, a Cocotte-Minute

pressure cooker that can be opened and

closed with a single hand at the push of a button. This was an unprecedented leap in the world

of culinary equipment!

In the 2000s, Groupe SEB has continued

to strengthen its commitment to healthy,

delicious food, for example with the

Cocotte-Minute

pressure cooker

Nutricook featuring cooking programs that

help preserve the ingredients’ nutritional

qualities and flavors as much as possible.

In 2020, the brand launched the

ClipsoMinut’

Eco Respect, which is unique

in the market! Eco-designed, 90% recyclable

and manufactured from 80% recycled

stainless steel, this sustainable Cocotte-

Minute

pressure cooker is equipped

with an innovative arch mechanism that

is easy to lift up and press down. In 2022,

households started to adopt a pressure

cooker featuring a smartcooking assistant

the Clipso Now The latest addition to the

range is none other than the Clipso Tempo
