Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Equipped with a wrap-around heating element to ensure even cooking temperatures, this convenient slow cooker offers an extra-large 7-quart-capacity (6-1/2 liters) that comes in handy for dinner parties, holiday gatherings, or everyday meals with family and friends. The thoughtfully designed appliance offers simple, one-pot cooking with the help of its EasySear stovetop insert. Made of scratch-resistant, die-cast aluminum with a Quantanium nonstick coating, the removable insert functions as a premium piece of stand-alone cookware. Use it for searing on the stovetop, slow cooking in the slow cooker, or roasting in the oven. For example, the cooking vessel can be used to sear, saute, or brown ingredients on a gas or electric stovetop, then be returned to the cooker for a slow, simmering finish to enhance flavors. It can even be lifted out of the slow cooker for use as an elegant banquet-style serving piece.
Choose from three heat settings: "low" (5 to 10 hours), "high" (3 to 4 hours), or "dual" (4 to 8 hours between "low" and "high" heat). The "low" setting works well for gently simmering pot roasts, braises, and dishes with tougher cuts of meats for an extended period of time without over cooking or burning, while the "high" and "dual" settings work well for better cuts of meat and dishes with vegetables and grains like lentil soup or vegetable stew. Other highlights include a domed stainless-steel lid that can be used in the oven, removable silicone handle covers for safely transferring food from the stove to the cooker, a simple temperature-control dial, and a removable cord for serving at the table and compact storage. A stainless-steel roasting rack comes included. Elegantly housed in brushed stainless steel, the slow cooker measures approximately 18-1/4 by 11-1/2 by 9-1/2 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.
Product Description
Slow cook meats and stews to perfection. Sear, sauté, and brown on the stove-top and finish slow without losing any depth of flavor or nutrients. Low setting for gentle, uniform heat to deepen rich flavors. High and Dual settings for better cuts of meats and dishes featuring vegetables and grains like soups or stews. Cool touch handle lets you easily move from stove to cooker.

Mediocre quality for high price,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Breville BSC560XL Stainless-Steel 7-Quart Slow Cooker with EasySear Insert (Kitchen)
I really wanted to love this item, but my experience with it and with Breville support was disappointing. I was attracted to the non-stick stove top useable insert. When my item arrived, I notice a bare metal defect on the inner rim with adjacent coating peeling off. Returned to Amazon with rapid replacement. The replacement also had a defect in the vessel coating and was returned for a refund. The cooker is manufactured in China, and the machining/finishing of the cooking insert is not good. The coating itself is a Teflon like material, not the newer metallic coatings (viz Scanpan). Although there are some "official" descriptions that say that metal utensils are permissible, the instruction book states clearly that only non-metallic utensils may be used. The lid of the device is thin stainless, "cheap" appearing for a product in this price range. The temperature knob has the feel of a multiposition old radio leaf switch. I measured the temperature in the vessel and did not have the overheating problems described by some. Max temp on high was 205 degrees. My largest concern was an attempt to reach Breville customer support via phone----on hold for 40 minutes before I gave up. There was no response to an email I sent to customer support. Buyer beware.

Too hot,

This review is from: Breville BSC560XL Stainless-Steel 7-Quart Slow Cooker with EasySear Insert (Kitchen)
Would love to this a five star rating but mine cooks too hot. I just cooked my third roast over 3 lbs on low and it cooked in 3 hours. It is supposed to take 6 - 10 hours per the manufacturers instructions. It looks great and being able to sear in the same pan is a big advantage in my galley but the inability to really cook things on a low temperature is disappointing. No response from the manufacturer from their help desk.

LOVE this slow cooker!,
By Amazon junkie (Bear, DE USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Breville BSC560XL Stainless-Steel 7-Quart Slow Cooker with EasySear Insert (Kitchen)
I have several Breville products and am always impressed with their high quality.
I love the easy sear insert and the included roasting rack. Seared meat and vegetables have much more flavor. With this slow cooker, you are able to sear a roast in the insert over the stovepot, take the roast out to insert the rack, put the roast back in, add the rest of your ingredients, and then put the insert into the slow cooker until finished. So easy and so tasty! You can also use the insert to make dishes normally not done in a slow cooker. After cooking the dish on the stove, you can put it in the slow cooker and keep it warm. Perfect for potluck dinners. You can't go wrong with this Breville Slow Cooker!
