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
Cook function.

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
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
a 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.

When the EasySear™ pan is used for searing
on the stovetop prior to being placed in the

slightly. Check for doneness intermittently
during cooking.
HIGH 3 to 4 hours
AUTO 4 to 6 hours
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.
NOTE
These cooking times are approximates
only and times can vary depending on
ingredients, quantities in recipes and
whether the EasySear™ pan and its
ingredients are hot from searing.

A BEGINNER'S GUIdE TO SLOW COOKING
ROASTING IN THE SLOW COOKER
NOTE
Roasting meats in the Flavour Maker 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.
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.

cooks considerably faster than the Auto or

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.
Loin, Neck, Leg, Racks
(remove skin & fat).
POT ROASTING IN THE
SLOW COOKER
AUTO SETTING
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.

ceramic stovetop or as a traditional roasting
pan for use in the oven.
The removable EasySear™ pan and stainless
steel lid is safe for use on stovetops and in
conventional ovens up to 250ºC.
NOTE
We do not recommend to use the
stainless steel lid in the oven. If it is
used in an oven it may discolour.
NOTE
While silicone handles are heat
resistant to 250°C, it is not
recomended to use for extended
periods above 200°C.

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 stainless steel 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 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.
