OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE PRODUCT
Cooking Times (with Sautéing)
When the SAUTÉ setting is used prior
to slow cooking, cooking times will be
shortened slightly. Check for doneness
intermittently during cooking.
NOTE
These cooking times are approximates
only and times can vary depending
on ingredients, quantities in recipes
and whether the cooking bowl and its
ingredients are hot from sautéing.
Low or High Slow Cook Settings
1. Add all ingredients into the cooking
bowl, ensuring denser foods are spread
evenly across the bottom of the bowl
and not heaped to one side and the
liquid level is between MIN and MAX
markings on the bowl.
2. Place the glass lid into position.
3. Press the SLOW COOK LOW or SLOW
COOK HIGH button, then press the
START|CANCEL button to activate the
setting. The START|CANCEL button
surround will illuminate red and cooking
will commence.
4. Allow to cook until the 'ready alert'
sounds. The unit automatically switch to
the KEEP WARM setting.
5. The multi cooker will remain on the
KEEP WARM setting for 5 hours before
switching OFF.
The multi cooker is designed specifically
for flavor layering. A technique professional
chefs use to enhance and deepen the taste of
meals by using the same pan for browning
onions, sautéing meats and creating
casseroles, curries, soups and bolognaise.
For this reason, Breville has now developed
a slow cooker with a SAUTÉ setting to
caramelize vegetables and sauté meats
before commencing the slow cooker function.
Following is a guide to help simplify the
process of slow cooking, allowing you to
obtain optimum results from your multi
cooker. We have also included helpful hints
for successful slow cooking. For recipes, go
to the recipe section in this instruction book.
PREPARING MEAT AND POULTRY
Select the freshest cuts when purchasing
meat. Trim the meat or poultry of any visible
excess 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 1 inch (2.5cm).
Slow cooking allows less tender cuts of meat
to be used. The bones can be left in meat
or poultry. This helps create a good flavor
and helps to keep the meat tender during
cooking.
