Breville Fast Slow Pro BPR700 Questions & Answers (page 5 of 5)

Hi Casey, no I haven't noticed this on mine. for any odours & cleaning I have used a bit of bicarb soda and lemon juice, dissolved into the pan with water, whilst washing up.

Hi gwenreyn. It's not Teflon. It's ceramic coated steel I think. It's ok to dishwash but better by handwash.
Update - see below question from the 8th Nov, Breville have answered it.

Hope Breville can assist with trouble shooting. Mine takes about 15 mins or so, depending on the level required. Your machine may be faulty? Good luck.

return it to the retailer and ask them to exchange it

It would really be great to have an official response on this from Breville. I see some questions are answered promptly and others not at all. Is it normal that the Breville Fast Slow Pro bpr700 takes up to 30 minutes to pressurise before it starts cooking?

Hi Casey, I definitely got a recipe book in my box along with the instructions

Yes, there should be - it's called "Full time, half time, meal time" foreword by Heston.

Thank you, I'll head back in tomorrow and see if I can get a copy :-)

Sometimes the rubber seal doesn't sit properly so the pressure cooker says its not closed or the liquid level is too high. All you do is unlock and then lock your lid and it should be right. Do not open lid just twist the knob to unlock and lock.

Make sure the pressure release valve at the back, is turned to about the 4-5 o'clock position, and check the pin lines up when you look from above on the right side of the lid. hope that makes sense! enjoy!

Thanks !!!

Sorry, can't help you with this one because I am hearing impaired and cannot hear the alert anyway. All I can say is that if it's getting to pressure, counting down, and your food is cooked, I wouldn't be too concerned about the alert sounding or not.

Mine takes 15-30 minutes to preheat depending on what I'm cooking and how much pressure is required. I also thought it would reach pressure more quickly but seeing as it doesn't, I have just adjusted my times to start the machine earlier to account for this.

It's also a slow cooker but I don't think it has high temperatures similar to an oven. Not sure on that one. Perhaps it's more a question for the good folks at Breville. :)

I don't think so. I found with this model that 5 mins is the minimum time. With other brands of electronic pressure cookers, I found even 2 mins was too much for fruit so I always stuck to cooking fruit either in the microwave or on the stove.

It means you cannot make soft boiled eggs at 3 minutes at low pressure which the Instant Pot is famous for being able to do. This is a downfall of this pressure cooker (now I wish I have the instant pot)

I don't know sorry. Perhaps the Breville website can help.

Hi Winter. I have no idea about making yoghurt in a slow cooker sorry but you could check their website as the cookbook for this unit is there.
The main differences between the 200 and 700 are that the lid had a different configuration; it screws on and off an arm. Also, you can choose the pressure you want to cook at. No more high and low - you have many settings in between. You also have a few choices on how to release pressure and a variety of presets. I really like the saute and sear functions because you can choose the temp you wish to brown food with. All in all, it's a lovely unit.
