level, clean and free of water and
other substances.
• Do not operate Breville Fast Slow
Cooker on a sink drain board.
• We recommend the slow cooker is not
placed on a stone bench top when it's
cooking. This is due to bench tops being
sensitive to uneven heat and may crack

with the slow cooker on the bench top,
place a chopping board or heat proof mat
underneath the slow cooker. Do not move
Breville Fast Slow Cooker when in use.

of walls, curtains and other heat or steam
sensitive materials.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles
on the sides of appliance and on lid. Use
the button to release steam pressure.
• Always ensure Breville Fast Slow
Cooker is properly assembled before
use. Follow the instructions provided in
this book.
• Before placing removable cooking bowl
into stainless steel base ensure base of

removable cooking bowl is not below
the 2 level mark or 1⁄3full of food and/
or liquid not filled over 2⁄3full before
switching on appliance. Always follow
the maximum and minimum quantities
of liquid stated in instructions and
recipes.
• Do not exceed maximum fill level.
Some foods expand during pressure
cooking such as rice, diced vegetables,
do not fill removable cooking pan over
½ full. Over filling may cause a risk of
clogging pressure release valve and
pressure indicator valve and develop
excess pressure.
• Do not use a damaged removable
cooking bowl. Replace before using.
• Ensure that lid is properly closed before

HINTS AND TIPS BEFORE PRESSURE COOKING & SLOW COOKING
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
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.

HINTS AND TIPS BEFORE PRESSURE COOKING & SLOW COOKING
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.

SAUTÉ AND SEAR SETTING
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.
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.

19
PAge heAder.....
SAUTÉ AND SEAR SETTING
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 17–26 and
page 29–31).
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.
• Do not use metal utensils because
they will scratch non stick coating
on the removable cooking bowl.
• Do not heat removable cooking
bowl when empty for more than
10 minutes as it may damage the
cooking surface.
• Caution should be used when
searing meats and sautéing in
hot oil. Keep hands and face
away from the removable cooking
bowl especially when adding new
ingredients as hot oil may splatter.
