How to Choose a Tiger Rice Cooker
Choosing a Tiger? Here's how to narrow it down in three steps.
1. By heating technology
- Micom (Fuzzy Logic) — Tiger's JBV / JAX micom models give reliable, affordable everyday rice.
- IH & Pressure IH — The JKT / JPK ranges heat the whole pan (and add pressure on pressure models) for more even cooking and better brown and mixed rice.
2. By capacity (uncooked rice cups; 1 cup ≈ 150g)
- 0.5L / ~3 cups — Ideal for 1–2 people and smaller kitchens.
- 1.0L / ~5.5 cups — The everyday family size, and our most popular.
- 1.8L / ~10 cups — Large families and batch cooking.
3. What makes Tiger special
- Signature tacook function — cook a dish and your rice at the same time, in the same machine, without the flavours mixing.
- Durable ceramic-coated inner pans for even, long-lasting performance.
- One of the most versatile line-ups, from simple micom to advanced pressure IH.
