•
We recommend the slow cooker is
not placed on a stone bench top when
cooking. This is due to bench tops being
sensitive to uneven heat and may crack
if heated locally. If you would like to
cook with a slow cooker on the bench
top; place a chopping board or heat
proof matt underneath the slow cooker.
•
•
•
Carefully read all instructions before
operating the Breville Flavour Maker
for the first time and save for future
reference.

A BEGINNER'S GUIdE TO SLOW COOKING
The Breville Flavour Maker is designed
SUITABLE MEAT CUTS FOR
SLOW COOKING
specifically for flavour layering. A
technique professional chefs use to
enhance and deepen the taste of meals by
using the same pan for browning onions,
searing meats and creating casseroles,
curries, soup, stock and bolognaise.
For this reason, Breville have now
developed a Flavour Maker with a
EasySear™ pan. Simply remove the
EasySear™ pan from the slow cooker base
and use on the gas, electric or ceramic
stovetop to caramelise vegetables and sear
meats before placing back into the slow
cooker base and commencing the slow
cooker function.
Beef
Chuck, skirt, round steak,
boneless shin (Gravy) beef,
bone-in-shin (Osso Bucco).
Lamb Shanks, drumsticks (frenched shanks),
neck chops, boned out forequarter
or shoulder.
Veal
Diced leg, shoulder/ forequarter chops
and steaks, neck chops,
knuckle (osso bucco)
Pork
Leg steaks, diced belly, Diced shoulder,
Boneless loin chops
Following is a guide to help simplify the
process of slow cooking, allowing you to
obtain optimum results from your
Flavour Maker.
We have also included helpful hints for
successful slow cooking. For recipes, go to
this instruction book.
PREPARING vEGETABLES
Vegetables should be cut into even-sized
pieces to ensure more even cooking. Frozen
vegetables must be thawed before adding to
other foods cooking in the slow cooker with
EasySear™ pan.
PREPARING dRIEd BEANS
ANd PULSES
PREPARING MEAT ANd POULTRy
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 extra liquid
being formed from the fat as it melts.
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. The bones can be left on meat or
poultry if liked and will help to keep meat
tender during cooking.
If time permits, overnight soaking of
dried beans and pulses is preferable. After
soaking, drain and place in the slow cooker
and cover with sufficient water to reach
double their volume. Cook beans on the
High setting for 2 to 4 hours or until tender.
Pre-soaked beans and pulses will cook a
little faster.

Searing and browning in the EasySear™ pan

and whilst not strictly necessary, the rewards
are evident in the end result.
The EasySear™ pan keeps the heat stable
and uniform allowing the meat to brown
and form an even crust. Plus searing and

A BEGINNER'S GUIdE TO SLOW COOKING
ROASTING IN THE SLOW COOKER
NOTE
Roasting meats in the Flavour Saver creates
tender, flavoursome results. The long, slow,
covered cooking process breaks down and
softens the connective and muscle tissue
within the meat, making it easier to slice.
Cheaper cuts of meat can be used to provide
perfect results cooked by this method.
High humidity, altitude, cold tap
water, ingredients and minor
fluctuations may slightly affect the
cooking times in the slow cooker with
EasySear™ pan.
Meat will not brown during the slow cooking
process, so for browner results sear in the
EasySear™ pan on the stovetop first before
placing back into the slow cooker base for
cooking.
The addition of liquid is not required for
roasting. Elevate the meat to be cooked on
the provided stainless steel rack. This will
assist in keeping the surface of the meat dry
and free from any fat released throughout
the cooking process.
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.
HIGH SETTING
The High setting will cook food in
approximately 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
flavour distribution.
SUITABLE MEAT CUTS FOR ROASTING
Beef
Blade, Rump, Rib Roast, Sirloin,
Silverside, Topside.
Lamb Leg, Mid Loin, Rack, Crown Roast,
Shank, Shoulder, Mini Roasts.
The High setting in this slow cooker
Veal
Pork
Leg, Loin, Rack,
cooks considerably faster than the Auto or
Low settings and can be used if time is a
constraint. Simply place your favourite meal
on High for 3 to 4 hours and you will have a
cooked meal in a fraction of the time.
Shoulder/Forequarter.
Loin, Neck, Leg, Racks
(remove skin & fat).
AUTO SETTING
POT ROASTING IN THE
SLOW COOKER
The Auto setting will begin cooking on
High and then will shift to Low after
approximately 2 hours of cooking time for
added ease and simplicity.
The addition of liquid is required for pot
roasting. Place sufficient liquid into the
removable EasySear™ pan to cover up to
a third of the meat. Meat will not brown
during the pot roasting process, so for
browner results sear in the EasySear™ pan
on the stovetop first before placing back into
the slow cooker base for pot roasting.

HINTS ANd TIPS
•
•
Trim all visible fat from meat or poultry.
dONT’S
If a recipe calls for browning the meat, it
may be browned in the EasySear™ pan
on the gas, electric or ceramic stovetop.
•
Do not operate the slow cooker without
the EasySear™ pan in position in the
slow cooker base.
•
•
•
Meat and poultry require at least 6 to 7
hours of cooking on Low setting or 3 to
4 hours on High setting.
•
•
Do not cook with frozen meats or poultry.
Do not remove the glass lid from the
slow cooker unnecessarily as this will
result in major heat loss.
Ensure that the food or liquid to
be cooked fills half to ¾ of the
EasySear™ pan.
•
•
Stirring is not necessary when slow
cooking. However, if cooking on the
High setting, stirring occasionally will
