Using the temperature control settings
A beginner’s guide to slow cooking
In years gone by, food cooked in large pots and
Keep Warm setting
Adapting cooking times
allowed to simmer for hours was full of flavour,
moist and tender. The Breville Avance Meal Maker 3
is designed to produce these same results, whilst
leaving you the time to do other things, making it
perfect for today’s busy lifestyles.
Your favourite traditional recipes can be adapted
easily by halving the amount of liquid and increasing
the cooking time considerably. The following is a
guide to adjusting your favourite recipes:
The Keep Warm setting is used to keep cooked foods
at serving temperature. It is not a cooking setting and
should only be used after first cooking on the Low or
High setting. It is not recommended to keep food on
the Keep Warm setting for more than 4 hours.
Here is a guide to help simplify the process of slow
cooking, allowing you to obtain maximum satisfaction
from your Avance Meal Maker 3:
Traditional
recipe time
Meal Maker
recipe time
Low setting
The Low setting gently simmers food for an extended
period of time without overcooking or burning. No
stirring is required when using this setting.
15-30 minutes
60 minutes
1-3 hours
4-6 hours on low setting
6-8 hours on low setting
8-12 hours on low setting
It’s all in the timing
Always allow sufficient time for the food to cook.
It is almost impossible to overcook in the Avance
Meal Maker 3 particularly when using the Low
setting.
High setting
These times are approximate. Times can
vary depending on ingredients and quantities
in recipes.
The High setting is used when cooking dried beans or
pulses and will cook food in half the time required for
the Low setting. Some foods may boil when cooked
on the High setting, so it may be necessary to add
extra liquid. This will depend on the recipe and the
amount of time in which it is cooked. Occasional
stirring of stews and casseroles will improve the
flavour distribution.
Most of the recipes contained within this book can be
cooked on the High or Low settings, however the
cooking times will vary accordingly. Each recipe will
give specific instructions indicating the appropriate
settings and suggested cooking times.

A beginner’s guide to slow cooking
Adapting liquid amounts
Preparing meat and poultry
Browning before slow cooking
Pot roasting
The addition of liquid is required for pot roasting.
Place sufficient liquid into the removable crockery
bowl to cover up to a third of the meat. Meat will not
brown during the pot roasting process. For browner
results, seal in a frypan before pot roasting.
When food is cooking in your Avance Meal Maker 3,
most moisture is retained. To allow for this when
using traditional recipes it is advisable to halve the
liquid content.
Select the leanest cuts when purchasing meat.
Trim the meat or poultry of any visible fat. If
possible, purchase chicken portions without the skin.
Otherwise, the slow cooking process will result in
the fat melting and creating extra liquid .
Pre-browning meat and poultry, prior to slow
cooking, seals in the moisture, intensifies the flavour
and provides more tender results, whilst producing
richer flavours in other food, such as onions,
capsicums and leeks. Pre-browning may take a little
extra time, and whilst not strictly necessary, the
rewards are evident in the end results. Use a non-
stick pan to reduce the amount of oil required.
However, after cooking if the liquid quantity
is excessive, remove the lid and operate the Avance
Meal Maker 3 on the High setting for 30-45 minutes
or until the liquid reduces by the desired amount.
Alternatively, the liquid can be thickened by adding
a mixture of cornflour and water.
Whole chickens may release a large amount of liquid
and fat when using the slow cooking process.
Suitable cuts for pot roasting
Beef
Beef topside, blade, silverside
roasts, rolled brisket.
For casserole-type recipes, cut the meat into cubes,
approximately 2.5cm to 3cm. Slow cooking allows
less tender cuts of meat to be used.
Roasting
Lamb
Veal
Forequarter, shank, shoulder.
Shoulder/forequarter.
Loin, neck.
Roasting meats in the Avance Meal Maker 3 creates
tender, flavoursome results that are easy to slice. The
long, slow, covered cooking process breaks down
and softens the connective and muscle tissue within
the meat. Cheaper cuts of meat can be used to
provide perfect results cooked by this method. Meat
will not brown during the roasting process, so for
browner results seal in a frypan before roasting.
Stirring the food
Suitable meat cuts for slow cooking
Pork
Little or no stirring is required when using the Low
setting placed in the centre of the removable
crockery bow. However, stirring the food when using
the High setting ensures even flavour distribution.
Beef
Beef chuck, skirt, round steak,
boneless shin (gravy) beef,
bone-in shin (Osso Bucco)
Preparing vegetables
Vegetables should be cut into small even-sized
pieces to ensure more even cooking. Frozen
vegetables must be thawed before adding to other
foods cooking in the Avance Meal Maker 3.
Lamb
Lamb shanks, drumsticks
(frenched shanks), neck chops,
best neck chops, boned out
forequarter or shoulder
The addition of liquid is not required for roasting.
Elevate the meat to be roasted on an inverted,
heatproof saucer or plate placed in the centre of the
removable crockery bowl. This will assist in keeping
the surface of the meat dry and free from any fat
released throughout the cooking process.
When cooking vegetables and meat together in the
Avance Meal Maker 3, the vegetables can cook at a
slower rate than the meat. To gain the best results,
position the vegetables on the base and sides of the
Avance Meal Maker 3 and place the meat on top.
Veal
Pork
Diced leg, shoulder/forequarter
chops and steaks, neck chops,
knuckle (Osso Bucco)
Leg steaks, diced belly, diced
shoulder, boneless loin chops
Preparing dried beans and pulses
Suitable cuts for roasting
Beef
Blade, rump, rib roast, sirloin,
fresh silverside, topside.
If time permits, overnight soaking of dried beans and
pulses is preferable. After soaking, drain and place in
the removable crockery bowl and cover with sufficient
water to reach double their volume. Cook beans on
the High setting for 2-4 hours or until tender.
Lamb
Leg, mid loin, rack, crown roast,
shank, shoulder, mini roasts.
Veal
Pork
Leg, loin, rack, shoulder/forequarter.
Pre-soaked beans and pulses will cook a little faster.
Loin, neck, leg, (remove skin and
fat), racks.
