We at Breville are very safety conscious. We design and manufacture consumer products with the safety of you,

A beginner’s guide to slow cookingUsing the temperature control settings

Keep Warm setting

The Keep Warm setting is used to keep cooked foods
at serving temperature. It is not a cooking setting and
should only be used after first cooking on the Low or
High setting. It is not recommended to keep food on
the Keep Warm setting for more than 4 hours.

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 is used when cooking dried beans or
pulses and will cook food in 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 the
flavour distribution.

In years gone by, food cooked in large pots and
allowed to simmer for hours was full of flavour,
moist and tender. The Breville Avance Meal Maker 3
is designed to produce these same results, whilst
leaving you the time to do other things, making it
perfect for today’s busy lifestyles.

Here is a guide to help simplify the process of slow
cooking, allowing you to obtain maximum satisfaction
from your Avance Meal Maker 3:

It’s all in the timing

Always allow sufficient time for the food to cook.
It is almost impossible to overcook in the Avance
Meal Maker 3 particularly when using the Low
setting.

cooked on the High or Lo

give specific instructions indicating the appropriate
