BEFORE FIRST USE

Of your Breville the Big One™

Check that cooking plates are clean and free of dust. If necessary, wipe over with a damp cloth. Place the toastie maker on a flat, level surface with the lid in the closed position.

  • Insert power plug into a 230/240V power outlet and turn the power on. The red power ‘ON’ light will illuminate.

  • Allow the toastie maker to preheat until the green ‘READY’ light illuminates.

  • During this time, prepare the toastie by buttering four slices of bread and preparing filling.

  • Place two slices of bread on the plates, buttered sides down. Place filling on top of bread.

  • Place remaining bread on filling, buttered side up.                                                                 NOTE
    The green ‘READY’ light will cycle on and off during the toasting process indicating that the correct temperature is being maintained.

  • Carefully close the lid and clip handles together. Do not force the lid to close.

  • Toasting should take approximately three minutes. Exact toasting time will be a matter of taste. It will also depend on the type of bread and type of filling used.

  • When the toastie is cooked, remove it with the help of a plastic or wooden spatula. Never use metal tongs or a knife as these can cause damage to the non-stick coating.

  • To maintain heat, keep the lid closed until you are ready to toast the next toastie.

NOTE
At all times the lid must be closed. When using the toastie maker for the first time you may notice a fine smoke haze. This is caused by the heating of some of the components. There is no
need for concern.

WARNING
Steam will be ejected from between the cooking plates when the lid is closed. Be careful not to make contact with the steam as it may cause burns.

IMPORTANT
Fully unwind power cord from cord storage facility before use.

HINTS AND TIPS

For your new Breville the Big One™

BREAD

The toastie maker is designed for use with supersized and regular-sized bread. With extra large cooking plates, it seals and cooks the toastie. Most types of bread can be used; white, wholemeal, kibbled wheat, wholegrain, raisin loaf and so on. When using raisin bread, brioche or other sweet breads which contain high sugar content, remember they will brown faster.

FILLINGS

Try to use canned or pre-cooked fruit as fresh fruit may give off excessive juices when heated. Be careful when biting into toasties containing fillings such as cheese and tomato or jam as they retain heat and can burn if eaten too quickly. One quarter cup of filling for each toastie is sufficient. Do not overfill your toasties.

BUTTER OR MARGARINE

For best results we recommend to butter the outside of the bread ie place filling between
the unbuttered sides of bread.

If you are on a low fat diet or kilojoule counting, the outside of the bread may be left unbuttered. Season the plates occasionally to prevent sticking and to make cleaning easier. To season, brush the cooking plates with a little vegetable oil and rub off the excess with absorbent paper. Do this after preheating the unit.

Do not use spray or non-stick coatings as this will affect the performance of the non-stick surface on the cooking plates.

For sweet snacks, a light sprinkling of caster sugar over the outer buttered sides of the bread will make them extra delicious.

For extra flavour use herb or garlic butter for spreading on bread.

PASTRY

Thawed ready-rolled pastry is the easiest to use, either in sheets or from a roll. See page 19 for further details. Please note, frozen pastry will snap in the toastie maker.

REHEATING

If the toastie is not being eaten immediately, place it on a paper napkin to absorb condensation. To keep for longer, place on a rack in an oven-proof dish to keep warm in a low oven, about 100°C. The toastie will keep hot for up to 20 minutes this way, but will then begin to dry out.

CARE AND CLEANING

Of your new Breville the Big One™

IMPORTANT
Do not immerse any part of the toastie maker in water or any liquid.

NOTE
Always switch off and unplug toastie maker from power outlet when not in use or storing.

Before cleaning, turn the power off at the power outlet and then remove the power plug. Allow your the toastie maker to cool slightly. The toastie maker is easier to clean when slightly warm.

Always clean your toastie maker after each use to prevent a build up of baked- on foods.

Wipe cooking plates with a soft cloth. If cooked on food is not removed by this method, brush with a little oil or melted butter. Allow to stand for five minutes then wipe with a damp cloth.

The cooking plates are coated with a non-stick surface, do not use abrasives.
