Tiger IH Rice Cooker | JKT-D Series (1.0L / 1.8L)
The Tiger JKT-D is an induction heating (IH) rice cooker made in Japan, offered in two sizes: the JKT-D10S cooks 1 to 5.5 cups of rice (1.0L) and the JKT-D18S cooks 2 to 10 cups (1.8L). Induction heating warms the whole inner pot rather than just the base, and the 1.5mm three-layer pot carries an ceramic coating on the inside and outside to store heat. The control panel is labelled in English, with 12 menus for white, brown, GABA brown, multigrain, long-grain and mixed rice, porridge, and a Slow Cook setting for simple one-pot dishes.
Key Features:
- Two Sizes: JKT-D10S 1.0L (1–5.5 cups) and JKT-D18S 1.8L (2–10 cups), measured with the cup supplied (approx. 180ml).
- Induction Heating (IH): Heats the inner pot all the way round. According to Tiger, the base of the pot reaches around 130°C during cooking, followed by steaming at 110–115°C.
- 3-Layer Far-Infrared Inner Pot: A 1.5mm thick pot with an ceramic coating inside and out, and a non-stick cooking surface.
- Express-Limited Cups Menu: Cooks a small amount quickly — 1 cup of white rice in as little as 17 minutes on the 1.0L model (1–2 cups on the 1.0L, 2–3 cups on the 1.8L).
- 12 Menus: Plain/White, Ultra, Quick, Express-Limited Cups, Eco, Multigrain, Brown, GABA Brown, Porridge, Mixed/Sweet, Long-grain and Slow Cook. The Eco menu uses approx. 6–20% less power than Plain/White.
- Timer, Keep Warm and Reheat: Two memory timers (Timer 1 / Timer 2), keep warm for up to 24 hours with the elapsed time shown, and a reheat function.
- Easy to Clean: Removable honeycomb-textured inner lid and a detachable steam cap; the supplied spatula can be stored at the side of the cooker.

- Unplug the cooker and let it cool before cleaning. Never immerse the main body in water or let water get inside it.
- After each use, wash the inner pot, inner lid and steam cap with diluted washing-up liquid and a soft sponge, rinse well and dry thoroughly. Remove any rice grains from the rim of the pot and the gaskets.
- To protect the non-stick coating, use only the supplied spatula or a wooden one; avoid metal utensils, scouring pads, nylon scrubbers and melamine sponges, and do not wash other dishes inside the pot or use vinegar in it.
- Do not put the inner pot, inner lid, steam cap or accessories in a dishwasher or dish dryer, and do not place the inner pot on a hob or in a microwave.
- Wipe the outside, the heating plate and the centre sensor with a well-wrung cloth.
The JKT-D10S (1.0L) cooks 1 to 5.5 cups of uncooked rice, and the JKT-D18S (1.8L) cooks 2 to 10 cups for larger households or batch cooking. One cup is the supplied measuring cup, approx. 180ml (about 150g of rice).
Yes. The JKT-D uses induction heating (IH), which heats the whole inner pot rather than only the base, combined with a 1.5mm three-layer far-infrared inner pot.
The Express-Limited Cups menu cooks 1–2 cups on the 1.0L model in approx. 17–24 minutes, and 2–3 cups on the 1.8L model in approx. 20–26 minutes. Rice cooked this way is slightly firmer than on the Plain/White menu; the steaming time can be adjusted.
Yes. It runs on standard UK mains, has a UK 3-pin plug and an English-labelled control panel, so no adaptor is needed. It comes with a one-year warranty, handled by us here in the UK.
3-Layer Far-Infrared Inner Pot
A 1.5mm three-layer pot with an ceramic coating inside and out, designed to store heat and spread it evenly through the rice.
Induction Heating
IH heats the whole inner pot, not just the base. Tiger quotes around 130°C at the base of the pot, followed by steaming at 110–115°C.
Express-Limited Cups
For small portions: 1 cup of white rice in as little as 17 minutes on the 1.0L model.
12 Menus, Including Slow Cook
From white, brown and GABA brown rice to porridge and simple one-pot dishes on the Slow Cook menu.
Easy to Clean
The inner pot, honeycomb-textured inner lid and steam cap all come out for washing.
