mull it over and spend your/one's time on preparatory work/ rely on groundwork...
There are other options...
"mull it over" is the best way of expressing "masticarlo", keeping the tone of the original... After that, well...
-mull it over and rely on ground work/research/preparation work etc. etc.
The idea is to resist going with your first idea; rather, you should consider this first idea carefully, relying on your ground work before perhaps coming up with new ideas to choose from.
A more formal alternative but less faithful to the original, in my opinion, would be "consider it carefully, relying on the preparation process..."
More alternatives:
"mull it over and rely on the time you have for ground work in order to achieve X with your second or third attempts..!
Espero que una de esas ideas, o una combinación de estos términos te ayude. Si tienes alguna pregunta, adelante, a ver si puedo ayudar...
HTH.

chew on it / chew it over
...if you want to be literal, this expression meaning "to think over carefully" is about as close as you can get!
For "apoyarse", I also like "rely on" or maybe just "use your experience" in this case.
