A technique professional chefs use to enhance and deepen the taste of meals by using the same pan for browning onions, searing meats and creating casseroles, curries, soup, stock and bolognaise. For this reason, Breville has now developed a Slow Cooker with EasySearTM Insert. Simply remove the EasySearTM Insert from the Slow Cooker and use on the gas, electric or ceramic stovetop to caramelized vegetables and sear meats before placing back into the appliance and commencing the Slow Cooker function. The following is a guide to help simplify the process of slow cooking, allowing you to obtain optimum results from your Slow Cooker. Lamb shanks, drumsticks (frenched shanks), neck chops, boned out forequarter or shoulder. Vegetables should be cut into even-sized pieces to ensure more even cooking. Frozen vegetables must be thawed before adding to other foods cooking in the Slow Cooker. Trim the meat or poultry of any visible fat. If possible, purchase chicken portions without the skin. [. . . ] The DUAL setting will begin cooking on HIGH and then will shift to LOW after approximately 2 hours of cooking time for added ease and simplicity. The long, slow, covered cooking process breaks down and softens the connective and muscle tissue within the meat, making it easier to slice. Cheaper cuts of meat can be used to provide perfect results cooked by this method. Meat will not brown during the Slow Cooking process, so for browner results sear in the EasySearTM Insert on the stovetop first before placing back into the stainless steel housing for cooking.
