Judge Slow Cooker 5.5Litre - JEA36

Product Information

Finished results: the tenderness of the meat and vegetables, the consistency of the cooked sauce and the heat of the food when serving 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.

This function starts your cooking off on a high setting before automatically reducing the temperature to the low setting for the remainder of the cooking time.

The best slow cookers you can buy in 2023

This function can be found on the majority of slow cookers, helping to retain the temperature of your food without cooking it further – handy when you’re struggling to round up the family! Slow cookers range in capacity, from a compact 1.5 litres up to 7 litres. As a general guide, a 1.5 to 2.3-litre capacity is great for two people, a larger 4 to 4.5 litres will feed four, and 5.5 to 7 litres is ideal for four to six people. As with all Lakeland electricals, it’s been tested, tested and tested again until we’re confident it’s more than up to the task, it’s covered by our 3-year guarantee for added reassurance – and it’s a great price too! The smallest of our range of slow cookers, the 1.5 Litre Slow Cooker is ideally sized for smaller portions of slow-cooked meals, perfect if you’re just looking to serve 1 or 2 people. With all the same features as its bigger brothers, this compact slow cooker also has a small footprint which makes it incredibly easy to store when not in use, without using up all of your cupboard space.

Nothing beats the tender, succulent, melt-in-the-mouth flavours of slow-cooked meals, and we love how easy it is, too – any meal where you just throw everything into a pot, and then leave it to cook your dinner while you’re doing other things, is always going to be a winner with us. But we wanted a machine that could do even more than slow cooking, and would take all the hard work out of lots of other ways to cook, which is why we’ve come up with our Digital Slow & Multicooker. Functions: additional functions on the slow cooker including browning, reheating, reducing and whether it is hob or oven-safe The controls tend to be similar on most slow cookers with a ‘low’ setting for longer, slower cooking throughout the day and a ‘high’ setting for faster cooking with similar slow-cooked results.

By sealing food in pouches, the juices and subtle flavours that could otherwise be lost during conventional cooking are retained. No liquid escapes from a slow cooker, so when adapting a recipe not specifically written for a slow cooker, reduce any added liquid by a third.
