I use this cooker to make? - you name it. Great for making bacon and eggs with the bacon down one end of the pan over one gas flame and the eggs at the other end over a second gas flame. Able to adjust the flame at either end according to the state of play of the separate ingredients. Only reason I don't give it 5 stars is because it needs a glass top and it could be of a sturdier build. I would be prepared to pay a 25% premium for those features.

I have been using this beauty for 4 years. Love the size and the fact I can sear meat on my cooktop then transfer to slow cooking in the one pan. I often prepare the evening meal before going to work (or ready to go the night before) and walk in the door to a delicious meal waiting for us. I set on automatic so it then reduces to the low setting, reading other reviews, this setting is all you need for slow cooking as well as keeping food warm if you are out for the day. The huge 7 litre capacity has soups simmering most weekends.

I love this slow cooker. The pan can be used on the stove top (or even the oven!) to brown the meat, or saute some onions, and start the cooking process. It is then easily transferred (the handles are still cool enough to touch) to the base. It heats evenly and cooks beautifully.

I've been very happy with this slow cooker so far. I love searing in the same pan, it's very easy to clean. The biggest negative for me is that I really wish it had a keep warm & timer function. I'm not sure why so many Australian slow cookers tend not to have this functionality but I really want it. A glass lid would also be a bonus which I believe they're developing currently.

Your flavour maker is absolutely fantastic, the best sc I have tried out of many. I love the fact there is no breakable parts, it is lightweight and so easy to clean. I love it so much I want another one, then I plan on disposing of several others

After my sunbeam slow cooker had slowly died, i decided upon this slow cooker as the reviews were great and my mother had one and she had no problems with it. I love the 7L capacity great for cooking lamb shanks and large dishes, I've even made fudge in this and it comes out amazing. Its great that you can take the pan out and cook on the stove top. Its one of my main appliances now i use it roughly 3-4 times a week! No problems. :)

I've owned the Breville slow cooker for about twelve months, and this year (now that it's winter) I am using it at least twice a week. The large size (7L) means I can make a double batch of just about anything, and freeze the leftovers. The long length means I can cook lamb shanks easily. I make a fantastic Rogan Josh curry (Jamie Oliver's recipe), chicken casseroles and incredible beef stews. I love the "sear pan" as it keeps all the caramelising in the meal. My only wish would be for a glass top, however it looks like Breville are designing this at the moment. Fantastic product! I tell all my friends (some working mothers, some stay-at-home Mums) to buy this model.

This is the best addition to our kitchen!What a life changer especially if you have after school activities.getting home to a cooked meal is great.I've even made chocolate fondant puddings and they were amazing!
Good quality product,
Size is great.Thought it might be too big...its great...i can easily fit 8 lamb shanks in!
Everything
Nothing except i would have liked a timer

I love how you can sear meat etc on the stove top and pop the dish straight into the slow cooker cradle. My last slow cooker was a fast cooker leaving my food well and truly over cooked by the time I got home from work. This one cooks just perfectly, every time.
Large capacity, stove top searing, non stick.
I wish it had a glass lid. Apparently this is something that Breville is considering :-)

Absolutely love it...best slow cooker I have ever had, the sear feature is brilliant, to use only one pot is very clever, also it's a good size for my large family. I would have liked a glass lid so I can see through and not have to open it to check, but I still love it.....it cooks perfectly every time!!
The sear feature..one pot
no see through lid

What a great product. On the stove top, sear your meat, heat and release the flavours from the curry, add coconut cream and bring to the boil. Then SLOW cook in the unit. Faster and much tastier than the old fashioned glazed pot that always broke. And the lid is stainless. So that won't break either.
Stove Top cooking. Cool handles to move the insert after cooking.
The base could have been more flat. The insert spun around on my glass cooktop.

I had previously owned the original crockpot, and wasn't a big fan, then had new style cheap slow cooker from Aldi, okay but temp control not great, the Breville is wonderful, especially being able to sear meat then slow cook, I used it so often last winter, I don't know how I lived without it, doesn't burn, and very easy to clean
searing meat and cooking in the same pot, and dishwasher safe.

I have just bought a Breville Easy Sear slow cooker. It's fantastic!!. You just brown or seal the meat and/or vegetables in the pan on the stove and then put it into the cooker. It's non-stick so it's easy to clean and it's healthy because you don't need to use oil. Just a spray of cooking spray.(A godsend for weightwatchers). I just love it. I've used it 9 times in the last four weeks.
Looks good and very efficient.

I have never had a slow cooker before, but this is great due to the fact that I can brown meat or cook onion etc on the gas cooker, then just put the pot into the cooker for it to do the rest. I like the auto setting which puts the cooker onto high for the first 2 hours then low for the rest.
Being able to sear meat or vege's on the stove

The best thing about this slow cooker is that you can remove the pan and use it direct on the flame to caramelise meat and vegetables, and you can also put it in the oven to bake. You can also reduce the dish down on the stovetop once it has cooked to concentrate flavor. This makes a huge difference to the final taste. Probably one of the most useful appliances we have bought.
Ability to remove pan and cook directly

Love this product. I have always loved the concept of slow cooking but was always too lazy to brown the meat. This product allows me to brown and cook in the same pan. This little beauty makes a large amount so you can freeze meals too.
Large and can brown in same pan
No warm function meaning food gets cold after cooking
