Dissolve the salt in the boiling water and pour into the EasySear pan. It should come to just under the top layer of potatoes

Breville: the Flavour Maker

7 litre Slow Cooker with EasySear™ Pan

Sear First Then Slow Cook – for the Larger Family or Entertaining.

For optimum slow cooking you need to sear the ingredients first. It captures those rich caramelised flavours. But how do you take food from stovetop to slow cooker without leaving the flavours behind in the pan?

Breville’s 7 litre EasySear™ pan retains more flavour – take it straight from stove to slow cooker to keep the flavours and juices created during searing for tastier casseroles and full flavoured meats that just melt in your mouth. And, you only need to wash one pan.

An automatic setting has dinner ready when you get home, and the non-stick pan makes washing even easier than cooking.

Slow food the family can't wait to eat.
