Judge Slow Cooker 5.5Litre - JEA36

Product Information

It still makes the succulent slow-cooked meals you love, but it also (deep breath) steams, sautés, simmers, fries, makes yoghurt, cooks food sous vide, makes fondues, cooks rice and has a manual setting for anything you want to cook just the way you like it. Plus there’s a 24-hour delay-start timer so your meal will be ready when you are, and a 12-hour keep-warm function so it doesn’t matter if you are a bit (or very!) late home.

Size: With sizes starting at 1-litre through to a whopping 6.5-litres, choosing the right size for you is imperative. The smallest sizes are suitable when cooking for one or two. 3-litres to 4.5-litres (one of the most popular sizes on the market) serve four, and the large 6-6.5-litre models are super for families and batch cooking. It's also worth bearing in mind that the capacity stated on the sales blurb is the size of the bowl, not the working capacity, which can sometimes be half that.Cook delicious dishes with ease with this 3.5 litre capacity slow cooker from Cooks Professional. There is no need to spend hours slaving away over a hot stove as this slow cooker will do all the hard work for you. They also calculate the energy consumed by each model to see how economical they are, and measure the moisture lost when cooking to ensuring your dinner won't end up dried out. By sealing food in pouches, the juices and subtle flavours that could otherwise be lost during conventional cooking are retained.

Finished results: the tenderness of the meat and vegetables, the consistency of the cooked sauce and the heat of the food when serving Heat retention: how the cooker holds heat for safety on the worktop and whether the food catches or burns Functions: additional functions on the slow cooker including browning, reheating, reducing and whether it is hob or oven-safe The inner pot needs to be at room temperature before you start cooking. If you've kept a slow cooker dish in the fridge, you must wait for it to warm up before turning it on.When you make a one-pot dish, you usually start by searing the meat or sautéing base ingredients such as onions and garlic. Most slow cookers don’t let you do this, but there are a few that do. Some, such as the Morphy Richards Sear and Stew Digital Slow Cooker 460015, simply have a metal pot that’s sturdy enough to heat on your own hob (gas or electric, not induction). Please note: the delay-start function isn’t available on the sauté, fry, fondue or manual settings. Master the art of meal preparation without the fuss, thanks to Russell Hobbs Slow Cookers and Multi Cookers. These innovative appliances are designed to fit seamlessly into your life, offering a multitude of functions that will transform the way you cook! Whether you're preparing a slow-cooked stew that simmers to perfection or a one-pot wonder, Russell Hobbs has got you covered.

This will come in handy if you’re out for the day. Once the timer you set has been reached, the cooker will either switch off or automatically shift to the ‘keep warm’ setting, depending on the model, so you come home to dinner that's ready to serve. Traditionally, slow cookers use a large, ceramic casserole dish that’s slow to heat up and slow to cool down. These are heavy and will break if you drop them, but they hold their heat well so they’re lovely to carry to the table and serve from. They aren’t just for stews and casseroles either. In fact, they're real multi-taskers, even up to the challenge of cooking a whole cut of meat – including sweet and salty coca cola ham or a tender beef joint. Vegetarian family favourites such as macaroni cheese are also a go-to.
