Breville Multi Chef BRC600 Questions & Answers

I just bought a new Breville Multi Chef BRC 600 from Domayne Two days ago . looks good. I have had a Breville Rice cooker before with a steam function . So thinking this New one would be a little better with stainless steel steam tray . But after one use i am so disappointed with it, it steams up ok, but the steam and all the Moisture comes out side of the lid and Runs down all over the side on to the Control Buttons,, do you have any suggestions how to stop this occurring, i thought i had to much water in the tray but not as its was only 30 mm depth of water in the bowl . i was cooking cut up Potatoes, i hope you can have some ideas to fix the problem, or just go back to my old Breville rice cooker Cheers Nigel

Instructions say to add liquid between min. and max indicator on bowl for slow cooking. Can you cook a pot roast for example using just a small amount of liquid so that the roast is not stewing?

I am on to my 2nd multi chef and do love them but about to get my 3rd it seems as the same fault seems to happen....after a period of time (about the time of the warranty) it will turn on and light up and make beeps when i press the buttons, but not heat up! (i see this described above also). Is this a common fault? why is this continuing to happen?

Hi i am using this rice cooker but the insert pot has been scratch and it doesn't make my rice softit becomes so hard. Any ideas?

So, have had my Breville Multi Chef for months, and never used it. Decided to today. My question is, you do not manually select the time, right? You just select the option, SLOW-COOK, and the machine does the rest?
Thank you.

Hi using the breville multi chef to cook a casserole, on high, using the slow cooker function. After 3 hours there is no sign of bubbles or boiling. First time cooking a slow cooked casserole. Is this normal? What have others found? Tx.

We've been using MultiChef for 10months and had used all features very happily. But It stopped working, the light is still on but the heating plate is not working.
We still have the warranty with us but we did not have the receipt because it was given to us as a christmas gift last december 2015 because they know that we love breville appliances. I asked my friend if she still have the receipt but unfortunately she cannot find it anymore.
Can we still fix this? If yes, how and what do we have to do?

I have loved using the Multi Chef for the last two years, however lately it seems to be loosing it's little electronic mind. No matter what setting I use the machine keeps telling me that cooking has finished and goes into 'keep warm' mode when it is very clear that cooking is not complete. In order to use this machine now I have to hang around the kitchen and continue to reset the machine and watch that the rice etc, is not then over cooked. Is this a fault? I will certainly be looking to purchase a different machine if this is not fixable.

Can you steam rice and veggies at the same time? Thanks :)

How can I cook porridge in this, please? I'd prefer not to use the slow cooker (overnight) function.

Thanks :)

I would like to ask I was given a Breville multi chef brc600, is this a 220v or 110v? I am from the Philippines.

Hello! I'm looking at buying either the flavour sealer slow cooker or the multi chef. I love the idea of cooking risottos but I also want to cook lamb shanks. Which one would you recommend?

Hello there, I pressed the rice/steam button but it doesn't heat or cook. What is the problem?

Does anyone have a lid they no longer need? My lid slid off the bench and broke the plastic around the handle, luckily that is all that broke, would really love to replace it since I have only had it for 1 day. Thanks

I have been using my multi chef for a few months on all functions. I can't understand how it knows when to go onto keep warm while using the slow cooker, it hasn't done it yet even though the food has been in there for 5 or more hours. Otherwise I like it very much .

Is it good for searing? I want to be able to sear/seal/brown the meat/sauce/veg before slow cooking, preferable all in the one pot without having to brown on stove in another pan before transferring to this slow cooker.
