sealed, so the frypan base is dishwasher safe and

can be fully immersed in water for easy cleaning

Quantanium™ scratch resistant cooking surface

Your Avance Premium Cookware features the highly

resilient Quantanium coating. It features special

scratch resistant minerals causing metal utensils to

slide over these particles without damaging the

coating. The end result is a non-stick coating which

enables the use of metal utensils such as spatulas

and spoons, but not sharp utensils. This non-stick

surface also means that foods won’t stick and less

oil can be used while cooking. Regular high heat

cooking may discolour the non-stick Quantanium

surface, this is normal and will not affect the

performance of the non-stick coating

Removable temperature control probe

The heat control probe is thermostatically

controlled providing accurate cooking

temperatures with 14 heat settings

plus ‘High Sear’

Pan tilt lever

The pan tilt lever is positioned under the

socket where the heat control probe is inserted.

When the lever is pushed down the Avance

Premium Cookware will tilt, allowing fat and juices

to drain from the food. The pan tilt lever also makes

it easier to baste food and serve gravies or sauces

Before the first use

It is recommended you remove any promotional labels and wash your frypan and lid in hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

Do not immerse the cord and/or temperature control probe in water or any other liquid.

1. Insert the temperature control probe into the probe socket on the appliance. then plug into a 230/240v power outlet and switch ‘ON’. Always insert the probe into the appliance first, then plug into main power outlet.

2. Turn the dial on the temperature probe clockwise to the desired setting. The heating ‘ON’ light will illuminate.

Before inserting the temperature probe into the frypan socket, ensure the interior of the socket is fully dry. To do this, shake out excess water then wipe the interior of the socket with a dry cloth.

Note

3. The red temperature control light will be on until the frypan reaches the desired temperature. Once the temperature has been reached, the red light will cycle ‘ON’ and ‘OFF’ during cooking to retain the desired temperature.

4. When cooking is completed, turn the dial clock-wise until it is aligned with the ‘MIN’. Switch off at the power outlet and then unplug.

5. Leave the temperature control probe connected to the appliance until cool.

This frypan must be used with the temperature probe provided. Do not use any other probe or connector.

Note

Quantanium scratch resistant coating

Your Avance Premium Cookware features a special scratch resistant non-stick coating that makes it safe to use metal utensils when cooking.

Regardless of this fact, Breville recommends that care is taken with the non-stick coating particularly when using metal utensils.

Do not use sharp objects or cut food inside the frypan. Breville will not be liable for damage to the non-stick coating where metal utensils have been misused.

Cooking on a non-stick surface minimises the need for oil, food does not stick and cleaning is easier.

Any discolouration that may occur will only detract from the appearance of the frypan and will not affect the cooking performance.

When cleaning the non-stick coating, do not use metal (or other abrasive) scourers. Wash in hot soapy water. Remove stubborn spots with a plastic washing pad or nylon washing brush.

Removing discolouration of the non-stick surface

• Combine: 2 tablespoons bicarbonate of soda,

/4cup household bleach, 1 cup water.

• Pour into the frypan, place lid on with the vent

closed, and simmer for 5-10 minutes.

• Clean in a well-ventilated area and avoid breathing

in the vapours. Wash as directed before re-use. In some instances this may not remove all the staining.

The frypan base may be washed in hot soapy water. Dry thoroughly. The frypan base is dishwasher safe.

Cooking techniques

Stir frying

Recommended temperature probe setting:

14 ‘High Sear’.

• An energy efficient and healthy way of cooking

foods. The benefit of this method is its speed and flavour result. The cooking action for stir frying is a continual tossing motion to ensure the food is evenly exposed to the heat and cooks quickly and evenly in a couple of minutes.

• Stir frying should be carried out using a ‘High

Sear

‘

setting.

• Preheat your frypan before adding any ingredients,

allowing the temperature light to cycle ‘ON’ and ‘OFF’ several times. This will allow the frypan to reach an even high temperature.

• Stir frying is a dry heat cooking method and is best

suited to tender cuts of meat. Over cooking will give a dry and tough result. Cooking times will depend on the size and thickness of the cut, as the bigger the cut, the more time is needed.

Recommended cuts for stir frying

Beef Lean beef strips prepared from

rump, sirloin, rib eye, fillet.

Chicken Lean chicken strips prepared

from breast fillets, tenderloins, thigh fillets.

Lamb Lean lamb strips prepared from fillet,

lamb leg steaks, round or topside mini roasts, eye of loin.

Pork Lean pork strips prepared from leg,

butterfly or medallion steaks or fillet.

Veal Eye of loin, fillet, round, rump

or topside.

Stir fry tips

• Buy meat strips from your butcher or supermarket,

or prepare meat strips from recommended cuts listed above by removing any fat and slicing thinly across the grain (across direction of meat fibres). Slicing across the grain ensure tenderness. Cut into very thin strips, approximately 5-8cm in length. Partially freeze meat (approximately 30 minutes) to make slicing easier.

• Stir fry meat strips in small batches (approx

200 - 300g) to stop meat shedding its juice and ‘stewing’, resulting in tougher meat.

• When adding meat strips to the frypan, the strips

should sizzle.

• Stir fry meat strips for 1–2 minutes. Any longer will

toughen meat.

• Remove each batch when cooked and allow frypan

to reheat before stir frying the next. By cooking in small batches the heat of the frypan remains constant, ensuring the meat doesn’t stew and toughen.

• A small amount of oil can be mixed through the

meat strips before adding to the frypan, along with any other flavouring such as garlic, ginger and chilli. A little sesame oil can also add flavour. Mixing the meat with the oil rather than heating it separately in the frypan eliminates using too much.

• Drain off thin marinades from meat strips before

stir frying to prevent stewing and splatter.

• Stir fry vegetables before meat in a little oil

(or sprinkling of water) until vivid in colour for:

Care and cleaning continued

Removable frypan base

To remove the base for cleaning firstly switch off at the power outlet, unplug and remove temperature probe from the frypan.

1. Turn the frypan upside down (Fig.1). Push down on the quick release knob and turn clockwise as shown by the arrow.

2. Lift the base from the frypan, lifting over the probe socket.

Take care when the glass lid is hot. Do not place hot lid under cold water or on cold surfaces. This may cause the lid to break.

Note

Wash the lid in warm soapy water using a soft sponge, rinse and dry thoroughly. The glass lid is dishwasher safe.

Dishwasher safe

Your frypan is dishwasher safe for easy cleaning. The recessed heating element is completely sealed so it is safe to immerse in water. The removable frypan base and glass lid are also dishwasher safe.

Before inserting the temperature probe into the frypan socket, ensure the interior of the frypan socket is fully dry. To do this, shake out excess water then wipe the interior of the socket with a dry cloth.

Note

Storage

Store the temperature probe carefully. Do not knock or drop it as this can damage the probe. If damage is suspected, return the temperature probe to your nearest Breville Service Centre for inspection.

For convenient storage of the temperature probe, line the frypan with 2 sheets of kitchen paper and place the probe on the kitchen paper. This will ensure the probe and plug don’t scratch the non-stick surface.

That’s the idea

™

THE FRYPAN SHOULD NEVER BE OPERATED WITHOUT THE FRYPAN AND BASE FULLY ASSEMBLED AND LOCKED INTO PLACE.
