Breville Pressure Cooker Review

The Breville Fast Slow Pro stands out from other multicookers with its user-friendly interface and comprehensive set of cooking presets, making it perfect for pressure cooking, slow cooking, steaming and sauteing.





You can customize cooking time and pressure (up to 12 psi), as well as choose between auto quick, pulse, or natural release release modes. 

Furthermore, it automatically adjusts its settings for altitude cooking settings.

Pressure Cooking

Pressure cookers use pressure to quickly raise food and liquid temperatures, which enables them to cook faster while still producing tender and flavorful results. 

hey're also capable of creating deeper flavors than slow cookers for richer meals that satisfy more.

Breville's Fast Slow Pro features an assortment of pre-sets designed to speed up meal prep or achieve specific textures and flavors quickly and with minimum effort, such as pressure cook, slow cook, reduce, steam sear sear yogurt. 

It aims to help all cooks become extraordinary chefs in their kitchens.

Pressure Cooking Made Easy: Fast, Healthy, and Flavorful


Pressure cook settings on this model include vegetables, rice, risotto, soup, stock, beans, poultry meat bone-in and chili/stew. 

You can set custom time and pressure as well as access a recipe book and guidance from its manual that details when and how to use each setting - helpful for new users of such appliances. 

In our tests the machine was relatively quiet while operating at high pressure; though its high-pressure release did produce an occasional hiss from time to time when releasing steam.

Slow Cooking

The Breville Fast Slow Pro multi-cooker stands out as our top multi-cooker with excellent functionality and outstanding value. 

Featuring a removable cooking bowl and stainless steel steaming basket that allows users to add liquid when creating soup or rice recipes, plus an extensive trouble shooting guide, it comes complete with its own instruction booklet.

We love that you can sear meat then switch over to slow cooking with one device, helping retain flavour while decreasing cooking times overall.

One great benefit of using an infrared microwave is being able to easily monitor both its cooking process and pressure with an easy-to-read digital display. 

As your machine heats up and builds pressure, its upper bar scrolls upward while its bottom bar shows you the current food temperature inside the machine.

Slow Cooking for a Busy Life: Easy, Effortless, Delicious

There are eleven Smart presets designed for pressure cooking that automatically recommend time, pressure and opening methods at the touch of a button (including vegetables, rice, risotto, soup stock beans poultry meat chili stew dessert). Furthermore, custom programs may be created.

Steaming

Steam can enhance flavor and tenderize tough cuts of meat, while this Breville model makes the process effortless with multiple shortcut programs that can saute, simmer and create risotto dishes.

Steaming: The Secret to Fresh and Flavorful Cooking

LCD Screen: When not in use, blue lights indicate inactivity while orange flashes indicate preheating, cooking or using Keep Warm mode. It also displays information such as how much pressure is being generated (up to 12 psi!), time remaining until release is scheduled and whether natural or quick release mode has been selected.

Minor drawback: Once it reaches pressure, this cooker emits an unexpected burst of steam through its valve. While this might not be an issue for most users, those with young children or those not wanting their hand exposed when the pressure release button activates may wish for something different - hence why this device provides a hands-free steam release button on its front so they can avoid reaching into hot steam valves while using this appliance.

Sautéing

The $250 countertop multicooker makes life easy with an integrated saute function for pre-slow cooking or searing pork shoulder before slow cooking, beans or risotto cooking, steam basket and rack to elevate food above waterline, plus an integrated timer and clock function for convenient timing of meals.

Like all electric pressure cookers, this model features an inner pot atop a base, equipped with an electric heating element and thermal sensor to detect when pressure has reached boiling point and release steam to reduce internal pressure before closing its lid securely.

Crisp, Golden, and Delicious: The Joy of Sautéing

The fast-and-slow appliance features ten preset pressure cooking programs for vegetables, rice, meat, beans and stock. 

You can also manually adjust time, pressure and opening method.

Fast Slow Pro stands out from its competition thanks to its two sensors in both its base and lid, giving an accurate picture of what's happening inside and enabling more precise adjustments or venting steam for reduced pressure inside. 

This provides significant advantages over models using single sensors which often rely on guesswork.

Searing

The Fast Slow Go's searing function did an acceptable job of browning meat and vegetables, though its results didn't quite equal what we have experienced from other pressure cookers that weren't as adept at searing as intended. 

That is still better than what has been seen with other models that weren't as adept.

This Breville multicooker provides plenty of functionality in one compact device, with 14 shortcut programs that make cooking stews, risotto and more simple. Furthermore, three hands-free steam release settings (natural, pulse and automatic modes) help ensure the cooker reaches full steam before lifting its lid to open it.

It features an elegant, streamlined design with an LCD display that shows you exactly which function you are in and precise cooking times. 

The lid feels sturdy, while buttons are easy to find (though right-handed users will need to pinch harder than others). However, at $250 it is significantly pricier than other multicookers we tested.
