Features of the Judge Rice Cooker
• This Rice Cooker has been developed to prepare rice in a way which retains the
highest possible nutritional value of the rice, whilst making it easy to digest.
• A high cooking temperature is combined with slight pressure cooking, which extracts
the best flavour from the rice.
• Using interval heating, the cooker is very energy efficient. As soon as the optimum
temperature of the rice has been reached, the unit will stop cooking and switch to
keep warm mode - your rice will keep warm for up to 6 hours.
• There is also an easy to use steamer function.
• The cooker has been designed and manufactured to be reliable and easy to clean and
maintain.

Preparing to Cook
• It is most convenient to measure the
rice into the measuring cup
14
provided.
1cup = approximately 150g, although
this will vary across the great range of
rices that are available.
• The minimum amount that may be
cooked is 3 cups (approx. 450g) of rice.
The maximum is eight cups
(approx.1200g). DO NOT EXCEED
THIS AMOUNT!
• The suggested rice/water ratio is 1:1.2
- 3 cups (approx. 450g) rice: 3.6 cups
(720ml) water.
• The guide on the inner pot
11
, indicates
the combined volume of rice and water
• THE RICE SHOULD BE WASHED BEFORE

Steaming Function
We offer just two examples here of foods such as fish and vegetables which can be
quickly and effectively steamed - there are of course a huge number of foods which
benefit from steam cooking, and you will very soon build routines to steam-cook your
favourites.
Steaming
• This is not an automatically timed function - steaming times must be assessed
and timed manually.
• We do not recommend cooking rice and steaming food at the same time.
• Pour water into the inner pot
11
to a depth of at least 2½cm / 1”.
• Place the steamer insert
13
on top of inner pot
11
, and close the lid
1
. Push down
the rice cooking button
10
- the water will take about 10 minutes to boil - time your
steaming from that point.
• At the end of steaming slide the rice cooking button
10
up to return it to the ready
position. Beware hot steam when the lid
1
is opened.
• NOTE: If all the water evaporates, a safety control will cause the unit to switch to keep
warm.
