Operating Instructions
1. Place food into the Ceramic Pot 4and
add water as required (do not fill the
Ceramic Pot 4to more than 80% of
its capacity, which is 2cm from the top
edge). Place the Ceramic Pot 4into
the Aluminium Liner 1and place the
Lid 2on top of the Ceramic Pot 4.
2. To operate the cooker, turn the Control
Switch 6to the desired setting.
The LOW 8setting is suitable for food
that takes longer to cook (e.g. joints
of meat) and will give a fuller/tastier
flavour. It will take approx. 4½ hours to
get to 80°C.
The HIGH 9setting offers the
shortest cooking time - cooking takes
approximately 4 hours. This can be
reduced by adding more liquid when
assembling the ingredients in the
Ceramic Pot 4. It will take approx. 2
hours to get to 80°C.
The KEEP WARM 10 setting allows
the food to be kept warm (at approx.
60°C) once it is fully cooked and is not
suitable for cooking food. Ensure that
the food is fully cooked first.
3. When cooking or keeping warm is
completed, turn the Control Switch 6
to the OFF 7position, switch off at
the socket and unplug from the mains
supply point.
4. The Ceramic Pot 4can be lifted out of
the Cooker Body 5and placed on the
table. You should wear oven gloves and
use a protective mat as the ceramic pot
will still be hot.

Cooking Tips
Meat
The golden rule of slow cooking - remove
the lid as little as possible during cooking.
Temperature will be reduced on every
occasion, and will take time to build up
again - the economical Judge Slow Cooker
consumes as little power as possible!
When choosing meat to cook in the
slow cooker, look for lean cuts, as the slow
cooking process will result in too much
Cooking Tips (Continued)
liquid in the form of fat. Remove any
visible fat before cooking, and remove
chicken skin.
As cooking takes place over a long period
of time, less tender, cheaper joints of meat
can be cooked successfully in the slow
cooker.
Browning meat before slow cooking
seals in moisture, enriches the flavour and
makes the meat more tender. Whilst not
necessary, browning meats enhances the
end result of cooking.
Before buying a joint of meat ensure
that it will fit into your slow cooker.
Food that has already been brought to
the boil may be placed into the ceramic
pot 4to cook. Adjust the power setting
7according to the food being cooked
and required cooking time.
Vegetables
Unusually, vegetables tend to cook
much slower than most meat during slow
cooking. Vegetables should be cut into
small pieces (roughly 2cm x 2cm cubes)
and placed near to the sides and bottom
of the pot. Frozen vegetables should be
defrosted thoroughly before adding to
other ingredients in the Slow Cooker. If
adding rice to a recipe, allow an extra cup
of water per cup of rice, and note that
long grain rice gives best results.
Herbs
Fresh herbs give the best flavour, but
the strength of flavour increases during
cooking. Use sparingly. If using dried
herbs, add them an hour before cooking
completion.
Milk/Cream
As milk products tend to break down
during long cooking periods, add during
the last hour of cooking where possible.
