Important Safety Information For Your Fast Slow Cooker

NEVER FORCE THE COOKER LID CLOSED

• The lid should be effortless to close. It should only require the use of one hand in a smooth action. If you encounter resistance, do not force the lid into position.

• The lid is correctly locked when the locking arrows are aligned and the safety locking pin is in the down position.

• Forcing the lid onto the cooker can cause air to become trapped and the locking pin to rise prematurely making it difﬁcult to close.

™

• If the lid is difﬁcult to close, check and ensure the seal is correctly installed. Turn the pressure release valve so that it is not in the “Pressure” position. This will assist with reducing the resistance when closing the cooker lid.

RELEASING PRESSURE

• Never place your hands, arms or face over the pressure release valve when the cooker is in use.

• Pressure can be released by pressing and holding the steam release button on the lid. This should be initially done in short bursts to prevent large jets of steam being released.

Page 13

Using a wooden spoon to turn the pressure release valve into the open position will assist with a fast steam release, take care as the jet of steam may be hazardous.

• Soups, stocks and recipes with a lot of liquid can force liquid through the pressure release valve during pressure release. Release pressure in intervals by pressing and releasing the steam release button or switch off the cooker and let it depressurise naturally.

Quick Release

This method uses the Steam Release Button when there is no more steam coming out, turn the pressure release valve to "steam release position".

Wait a minimum 1 minute after releasing pressure/ steam to unlock and remove the lid. To open the lid, use handle in a counterclockwise direction while aligning ALIGN arrows to the OPEN position. This should be effortless.

Page 14

Side view

OPEN

Top view

IMPORTANT

Steam Release Button will be hot if pressed for prolonged period.

Slow Release

If the Steam release button is not depressed when cooking is ﬁnished, the cooker will slowly de-pressurize when the temperature drops towards room temperature. This method is recommended for recipes containing larger quantities of liquid such as soups and casseroles to prevent liquid being forced out with the steam. The Slow release method is also used to ﬁnish off recipes such as risottos and puddings.

When slow release method is used, it is necessary to push the steam release button to ensure there is no more steam coming out and turn the pressure release valve to the "steam release position" where arrows are aligned to OPEN arrow before attempting to open the lid.

Page 15

The pressure release valve can get extremely hot after cooking. Extreme caution must be used when moving the pressure release valve. It is recommended to use a tool as an aid to move the pressure release valve.

NEVER FORCE THE LID OPEN

• After all internal pressure is released, the lid should be effortless to open. It should only require the use of one hand in a smooth action.

• Press the steam release button until all internal pressure is released and the cooker can be opened.

• If there is no more steam coming from the valve, the safety locking pin may still be in the locked position. Gently tap on the handle to unlock the pin and open the lid.

• If resistance is still encountered, disconnect from the power supply and allow the pressure cooker to cool down to room temperature. Never force the lid open.

• If the lid will not unlock or you encounter resistance, it may indicate the appliance is still under pressure. Never force the lid open as any remaining pressure can be hazardous.

2. Remove the lid by taking hold of the handle,

turning it counter clockwise and lifting the lid up and off the appliance.

3. Wash the removable cooking bowl, stainless

steel lid and silicone rubber gasket in hot, soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly. Wipe the inside and the outside of the stainless steel base with a soft, damp cloth, then dry thoroughly.

4. Attach the clean silicone rubber gasket

securely back into the gasket holder as illustrated. Ensure that the gasket is installed correctly and the wire ring is fully sitting inside the groove of the silicone seal.

IMPORTANT

If the silicone rubber gasket is not ﬁtted correctly into the holder, the lid will not seal properly. This may cause the appliance to malfunction and leak steam or hot liquid which can cause burn or scalding.

5. Clean and dry the bottom of the removable cooking bowl as well as the temperature sensor, making sure there are no unwanted materials on the surface. The removable cooking bowl must sit ﬂat on the temperature sensor to ensure proper contact.



To prevent aromas, moulds and odours,



never store YOUR BREVILLE PRODUCT closed with lid locked in place. Follow the care and cleaning guidelines on page 37. Pack and store with lid resting upside down on removable cooking bowl in a well ventilated area.

PREPARING MEAT AND POULTRY

Select cuts of meat suitable for pressure cooking by choosing cuts from the table below. Pressure cooking allows less tender cuts of meat to be cooked quickly and achieve a tender juicy result.

Using meat cuts with bones produces a more ﬂavorsome and enriched result.

For best results, always trim away excess visible fat, grizzle and skin. These will form extra liquid as it melts and cooks.

For casserole type recipes, cut meat into even cubes approximately 3–5cm.

Suitable meat cuts for pressure cooking and slow cooking

MEAT CUTS

Beef & Veal

Lamb

Pork

Chicken

Chuck, skirt, round steak, boneless shin(Gravy) beef, bone-in-shin and cheeks(Osso Bucco), Diced leg, shoulder/ forequarter chops and steaks, neck chops, knuckle (Osso Bucco).

Shanks, drumsticks (frenched shanks), neck chops, boned out forequarter or shoulder.

Diced leg, shoulder/ forequarter chops and steaks, neck chops, knuckle (Osso Bucco).

Chicken drumsticks and thighs both bone in and ﬁllet.

PREPARING VEGETABLES

Vegetables should be cut into even-sized pieces to ensure more even cooking.

When preparing vegetables for pressure cooking, always use fresh and not frozen.

If only frozen vegetables are available, thaw out before pressure cooking. Use LOW pressure setting for minimum time.

For better results only peel vegetables when appropriate. Hard vegetables such as beetroot and potatoes hold their shape better when left intact.

Page 20

PREPARING DRIED PULSES (BEANS AND PEAS)

Legumes and pulses can be cooked without prior soaking.

To fasten the pressure cooking time, soak dried pulses in boiling water for 3 hours or overnight.

Always wash and drain pulses before cooking. Remove any discoloured pulses.

For best cooking results, place pulses into Breville Fast Slow Cooker and cover with water or stock at least 5cm above the level of pulses.

Onions, bay leaves and garlic can be added to ﬂavour the pulses.

Avoid adding salt prior to cooking, as this will toughen the skins of the beans and peas and prevent proper cooking.

Once pulses have cooked, drain away excess liquid, rinse lightly and use in recipes.

Softer Pulses such as mung beans, lima beans and butter beans are best to be cooked using LOW or MEDIUM pressure.

IMPORTANT

• Softer Pulses such as; mung beans, lima beans and butter beans are best cooked using LOW AND MEDIUM pressure.

• When PRESSURE COOKING AND SLOW COOKING the resulting juices and liquids created by cooking may need to be evaporated and concentrated. We suggest that the SAUTE/SEAR function should be used for approx 5–10 minutes depending on amount of liquids required to be reduced.

SAUTÉING AND SEARING BEFORE PRESSURE COOKING & SLOW COOKING

Sautéing and Searing in Breville Fast Slow Cooker may take a little extra time and whilst not strictly necessary, the rewards are evident in the end result.

Saute and Sear setting keeps the heat stable, browning meat and caramelising vegetables. This seals in the moisture, tenderises and intensiﬁes the ﬂavour.

Hint and Tips

• Trim excess fat from meat or poultry.

• If a recipe calls for browning meat, it may be

browned using SAUTÉ/SEAR setting.

• If after cooking the liquid quantity is excessive, remove the lid and operate Breville Fast Slow Cooker on SAUTÉ/SEAR setting for approximately 10–15 minutes or until the liquid reduces by the desired amount.

How to Sauté and Sear

1. Remove power cord, connect it to pressure

cooker base and insert power cord to 230/240 volt power outlet. A single beep will sound and 0:0 will be displayed on LED display.

Page 21

2. Click steam condensation collector into place.

3. Always ensure the lid is removed from pressure cooker before sautéing or searing.

4. Press Function Button until SAUTÉ/SEAR indicator light ﬂashes red.

5. Press TIMER button to increase time from 02 minutes to maximum 99 minutes. To fast advance time, press and hold TIMER button until desired time is displayed.

6. When desired cooking time is displayed, press START/CANCEL button. SAUTÉ/ SEAR indicator light will stop ﬂashing and will illuminate a solid red. The count down timer will commence. Allow Breville Fast Slow Cooker to heat with the lid off for approximately 2–3 minutes before cooking.

7. Add a small amount of oil or butter to removable cooking bowl.

8. Place food to be sautéd/seared into cooking bowl. Depending on quantity of food, meat searing should be done in small batches.

9. When ﬁnished sautéing or searing, select PRESSURE COOK or SLOW COOK by pressing FUNCTION button. (Refer to pressure cook or slow cook HOW TO section on page 22–28 and page 31–33).

IMPORTANT

• SAUTÉ/SEAR function will not work if lid

is sealed and locked in position. An audible alarm will sound. E3 error code will appear on LED display to signal the need to unlock or remove the lid.

• Stir food in removable cooking bowl, using

heat resistant spatula supplied.

A BEGINNER’S GUIDE TO

MINIMUM OF 1L

OF COMBINED FOOD & LIQUID

PRESSURE COOKING

Pressure cookers are back in the forefront again. These time savers are wonderful for cooking succulent roasts, ﬂavoursome casseroles, delicious soups and even desserts in a fraction of the time and energy they take by conventional methods.

Pressure Cooking is a method of cooking food in a small amount of liquid with a gasket sealed lid that retains steam inside and builds pressure. It is the increase in pressure that raises temperature of the liquid and steam inside to well above boiling point and therefore allows food to be cooked up to 70% faster.

This means less energy is consumed and you will enjoy substantial savings in both time and cost. Because pressure cooked foods require very little cooking liquid, more vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients are retained and the natural ﬂavours are enhanced.

How to Pressure Cook

1. Place removable cooking bowl into stainless steel base.

2. Attach clean silicone rubber gasket securely into gasket holder.

NOTE

Fit silicone rubber sealing gasket into lid if not already in place. If the silicone rubber gasket is not installed correctly into the holder, the lid will not seal properly. This may cause the appliance to malfunction and leak steam or hot liquid which can cause burns or scalding.

3. Always have a minimum of 1 litre (4 cups) of combined food and liquid in removable cooking bowl.

Page 23

4. Close and lock lid by using the handle. Close lid in a clockwise direction by aligning ALIGN arrows. The Lid arrow should align with stainless steel base arrow until it locks into place and is in the CLOSE position.

6. Ensure pressure release valve is turned to PRESSURE position. For correct PRESSURE position, align the pressure release valve with the dash graphic that goes across the pressure safety valve. See diagram below.

NOTE

This should be effortless!

5. Select one of the following settings using the Pressure Control dial located on the handle: – Low (Low Pressure). – Medium (Moderate Pressure). – High (High Pressure).

NOTE

Refer to Pressure Cooking guide and basic recipes on page 22–31.

• Do not ﬁll removable cooking bowl higher

than MAX line marking on the inside of the cooking bowl.

• Do not exceed mark line 6 on the inside of

the cooking bowl when pressure cooking foods that expand such as rice, dried beans, grains and legumes.

Page 25

• The minimum amount of combined food and liquid to be added to removable cooking bowl for Pressure Cook recipes cooking in under 10 minutes is 250ml (1 cup). Anything less might boil dry and pressure cook will not function. Additional liquid may need to be added during cooking.

• Never operate appliance when it is empty. Do not cook with less than 1 litre of combined food and liquid.

• Never use oil or milk as a cooking liquid such as deep frying or making custards. Only use hot/warm liquids particularly after sautéing to avoid any damage to the removable cooking bowl. Adding hot liquids also hastens the time to reach pressure.

• Keep hands and face clear of Pressure Release Valve when appliance is in Pressure Cooking operation. Hot steam and water may be emitted during use.

• When cooking under pressure, lid of the Breville Fast Slow Cooker can not be opened. Do not try to force the lid open.

• After making soups and stocks, allow several minutes before releasing pressure and removing lid to make sure that hot liquid inside will not boil over.

• These cooking times are approximates only and times will vary according to nature of certain foods and quantities.

• Slow Release – If the Steam release button is not depressed when cooking is ﬁnished, the steam will automatically vent out of the pressure release valve slowly. This method is recommended for recipes containing larger quantities of liquid such as soups and casseroles to prevent liquid being forced out with the steam. The Slow release method is also used to ﬁnish off recipes such as risottos and puddings.

HOW TO ROAST

1 cup

MINIMUM

Roasting meats using either PRESSURE COOK or SLOW COOK settings, creates tender, ﬂavoursome results. Both cooking processes break down and soften the connective and muscle tissue within the meat, making it easier to slice.

Meat will not be browned during PRESSURE COOK or SLOW COOK settings, so for seared results use the SAUTÉ/SEAR setting ﬁrst.

Using SLOW COOK or PRESSURE COOK Setting

Elevate the meat to be cooked on provided stainless steel trivet. Add a minimum of 250ml (1 cup) hot liquid (water or stock).

This will assist in keeping the surface of the meat dry and free from any fat released throughout the cooking process. The stainless steel trivet rack will keep the meat, raised above the boiling liquid.

SLOW COOK SETTING

Breville Fast Slow Cooker has been designed speciﬁcally with a unique Slow Cook setting for ﬂavour layering. A technique professional chefs use to enhance and deepen the taste of meals by using the same cooking bowl for sautéing onions and searing meats and creating casseroles, curries, soup, stock and bolognaise.

With Breville Fast Slow Cooker you can now sauté and slow cook in the cooker using the same non stick cooking bowl. Simply activate SAUTÉ/SEAR function to caramelise vegetables and sear meats and then start to SLOW COOK.

SLOW COOK setting on Breville Fast Slow Cooker will gently simmer food for an extended period of time.
