Tiger JNP-S10U-HU 5.5-Cup (Uncooked) Rice Cooker and Warmer, Stainless Steel Gray

I have owned this type of Rice Cooker for more than 2 years. It is a little pricey compared to other rice cookers, but from my experience, it is worth it. This rice cooker cooks rice quickly (15 minutes or so) and it keep the rice warm until you are ready to eat. I had my rice stay on "warm" one time for two days without the rice turning brown and the bottom getting hard and burnt. We always have our rice cooker on "warm" so that we can have rice available 24/7. We eat rice for lunch and dinner and sometimes for breakfast too, so I always cook rice in the morning and it will last us until dinner. If we have left over rice for dinner, it will still stay warm and fluffy the next day.

I have tried several cheaper rice cookers sold in Target, they do a good job in cooking rice, but they dont keep it warm and soft... after a few hours of being on "warm" the rice turns brown and hard. These cheap rice cookers are only good for occasional rice eaters and for those who can finish their rice in one seating.

I was told also that Rice cookers made in Japan last longer than the ones made in China. There are similar "Tiger rice cookers" made in China but are sold at a much lower price ($50+-). According to friends, these doesn't last long especially if you plan to use your rice cooker everyday. So be sure to get a "Made in Japan" model.

Tiger JAJ-A55U-WS 3-Cup (Uncooked) Micom Rice Cooker with Slow Cooker & Bread Maker, White

We initially bought a Zojirushi NP-GBC05-XT Induction Heating System Rice Cooker based on its great reviews on Amazon. Although this high-end rice cooker promises the ultimate in rice cooking, it only has preset programs for cooking. We tried many combinations of programs and different levels of water and found that the programs were optimized to make very soft and very fluffy rice. While this may sound nice, the result is also close to being bland and bit mushy, as if you added too much water and slowly cooked it a long time. My wife, who is Japanese, told me that this is the style that most Japanese like. It is not to our taste. It looks nice and works well otherwise. Be aware that after a few years that you will need to send in the unit to have the lithium battery replaced (its not changeable by the consumer, unless you don't mind soldering in a new battery). After two weeks of experimenting with the Zojirushi cooker, we returned it and bought a Tiger Corporation JAJ-A55U WS Micom on Amazon for less money and we are quite happy with it (although this has the same issue with its lithium battery). Its not as pretty, but by our taste, it makes much better brown and white rice. Its a keeper. It also comes with a inner steaming tray if you want to steam other dishes at the same time. One minor design flaw is that the electric cord doesn't automatically rewind back into the unit as in some other models.

Tiger JAZ-A10U-FH 5.5-Cup (Uncooked) Rice Cooker and Warmer with Steam Basket, Floral White

I love this rice cooker so much, I purchased 3 more for my children. We all like this cooker. You measure the rice, measure the water, turn it on and let it cook. It has a warmer feature on it so when it is finished cooking, it keeps the rice warm. I keep this cooker full of rice at all times. The rice can be left in the cooker for up to two days before I make a new batch. The retractable cord is great for storage. I highly recommend this product to anyone that likes to cook rice but hates to do it on the stove.

Tiger JBV-A10U-W 5.5-Cup (Uncooked) Micom Rice Cooker with Food Steamer & Slow Cooker, White

We make rice at home, very frequently and it is a must for me, to have a cooker. I have a stove-top cooker that needs separate attention, making it tough if you are multi-tasking in kitchen. But tiger rice cooker is totally different. It took about 30 minutes for me, to cook two cups of rice and once cooking is done, the cooker changes to 'Keep Warm' mode! I literally did nothing other than placing the inner vessel with required amount of water and pressing the button! The 'Keep Warm' mode ensures that the meals stays warm until attended.

This rice cooker is perfect to prepare two dishes simultaneously with the synchronized cooking function. This cooker needs very minimal preparation time and with the press of a button you can make delicious meals in no time. Comes with a Non-stick spatula, Spatula-holder, Cooking plate, Measuring cup and a Cookbook, full of easy recipes!

The pressure value can be removed & washed but the lid is fixed. So, you might have to wipe it clean after using the cooker. I also show the lid in running water, that way it gets washed clean. The cooker is light-weight, so this shouldn't be a problem. Overall, very reasonably priced, elegant-looking, efficient & affordable cooking appliance that everyone of us deserve to have in our kitchen.

I did receive the product at a discounted price in exchange of my honest review. However the opinions expressed here are out of my own experience with the concerned product!

The TIGER JBV-A collection, multi-functional rice cooker allows you to prepare two dishes simultaneously with the new “tacook” synchronized cooking function. JBV collection are innovatively designed by combining the best elements of Tiger's popular rice cookers with synchro-cooking. With minimal preparation and the press of a button, Tiger’s Automatic Cooking Logic system actively monitors cooking temperatures to create the perfect meal. Unlike other rice cookers, Tiger’s cooking plate is specially designed so the flavors from the cooking plate do not affect the flavor or texture of the rice. With a large easy to operate one-push menu, making rice has never been simpler.

What is 'tacook'>

'tacook' is Tiger's original synchronized cooking function. This Synchro-cooking function ('tacook') create deliciously cooked meat and vegetables at the same time as perfectly cooked rice. This is ideal for busy lifestyles.

Synchro-cooking Mechanism

The steam from the cooking rice rises to cook the food in the cooking plate. The steam is then released from the top so it doesn't return to the bottom, thereby retaining the integrity of the flavor of the rice. Unlike other steam baskets, Tiger’s cooking plate has specially designed air vents on the side to only release steam upward. Everything cooked inside the cooking plate stays inside the cooking plate. The cooking plate is made from BPA-free plastic.
