BREvILLE RECOMMENdS SAFETy FIRST  
At Breville we are very safety conscious. We design and manufacture consumer products with  
the safety of you, our valued customer, foremost in mind. In addition we ask that you exercise  
a degree of care when using any electrical appliance and adhere to the following precautions.  
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARdS  
The temperature of accessible surfaces  
will be high when the appliance is  
operating and for some time after use.  
REAd ALL INSTRUCTIONS  
BEFORE USE ANd SAvE FOR  
FUTURE REFERENCE  
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.  
Remove and safely discard any  
packaging material and promotional  
labels before using the slow cooker for  
the first time.  
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles  
to move slow cooker and dry oven mitts  
to remove the glass lid and/or removable  
EasySear™ pan when hot.  
To eliminate a choking hazard for young  
children, remove and safely discard the  
protective cover fitted to the power plug  
of this appliance.  
Use only the removable EasySear™ pan  
and lid supplied. Do not use any other  
pan inside the slow cooker base.  
Do not immerse appliance, power cord  
or power plug in water or any other  
liquid.  
Never plug in or switch on the slow  
cooker without having the removable  
EasySear™ pan placed inside the

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),

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.

NOTE  
SLOW COOKING  
These times are approximate. Times  
can vary depending on ingredients  
and quantities in recipes  
Searing and browning in the EasySear™ pan  
on the stovetop may take a little extra time  
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  
browning seals in the moisture, intensifies  
the flavour and provides more tender results.

Your favourite traditional recipes can also  
be easily adapted to this slow cooker. Simply  
halve the amount of liquid and increase the  
cooking time. The following is a guide to  
adjusting your favourite recipes.

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

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.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
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  
help to distribute flavours throughout  
the recipe.  
If after cooking the liquid quantity is  
excessive, remove the lid and operate  
the slow cooker with EasySear™ pan on  
the High setting for 30 to 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 and cooking on  
High setting without the lid until sauce  
has thickened.  
Do not use High setting if you intend  
on being away from home for more than  
3 hours.  
NEvER  
Place water or other liquids into the slow  
cooker base of the Flavour Saver.  
dO’S  
Immerse the slow cooker base, power  
cord, or power plug in water or any other  
liquid.  
Always thaw frozen meat and poultry  
before cooking.  
Use dry oven mitts when lifting the lid or  
removable EasySear™ pan after searing  
or slow cooking.  
Touch hot surfaces with bare hands.  
Deep fry in the EasySear™ pan.  
Place the EasySear™ pan onto a heat  
proof mat if serving from the EasySear™
