Description
Tiger IH Rice Cooker | JPW-G Series (1.0L / 1.8L)
Made in Japan, the Tiger JPW-G is an induction heating (IH) rice cooker built around a thick, far-infrared 3-layer ceramic-coated inner pot. Strong IH heating wraps the whole pot in heat so each grain cooks evenly through, giving glossy, fluffy rice with a natural sweetness. Choose the 1.0L model (up to 5.5 cups of uncooked rice) or the 1.8L model (up to 10 cups) to suit your household.
Key Features:
- High-heat IH cooking: Induction heating surrounds the whole inner pot with powerful heat for even, thorough cooking.
- Far-infrared 3-layer ceramic-coated inner pot: An approx. 2mm multi-layer pot with a ceramic coating inspired by traditional Japanese clay-pot (donabe) cooking.
- Exp. Limited Cups menu: Cooks a small amount of white rice quickly — half a cup in as little as 20 minutes on the 1.0L model.
- 16 cooking menus: Plain, Premium, Eco, Sushi, Quick, Long-grain, Multigrain, Mixed, Sweet (glutinous), Porridge, Brown, Brown GABA, Cook•Soup, Cake and more.
- Cook•Soup and Cake settings: Simmer stews and soups for 5–180 minutes, or bake a soft sponge cake in the inner pot.
- Flexible timers: Two memory timers (Timer1 and Timer2) set the time you want your rice ready, plus a Soak Timer function.
- Keep Warm and Reheat: Keeps white rice warm for up to 24 hours, with a reheat function for piping-hot rice before serving.
- Easy to clean: Removable inner lid and a dedicated Clean programme to help remove cooking odours.
- English control panel: Clear English key and menu labels with an LCD display and clock.

Cleaning and Maintenance:
- Unplug the rice cooker and let it cool before cleaning.
- After every use, wash the inner pot, inner lid, spatula, ladle and measuring cup with a soft sponge and mild washing-up liquid, then dry thoroughly.
- Do not use a dishwasher or dish dryer, abrasive scourers, metal utensils or vinegar in the inner pot, as these can damage the coating.
- Keep the gaskets on the inner lid and main lid in place while cleaning — they are not designed to be removed.
- Wipe the main body with a well-wrung damp cloth; never immerse it in water.
- Remove dust from the air inlet and outlet with a cotton bud.
- Run the Clean programme with water in the inner pot if cooking odours linger.
Everyday Use:
- Use the Keep Warm function for white rice only, and serve other menus as soon as possible.
- Use only the supplied spatula or a wooden spatula in the inner pot.

Tiger IH Rice Cooker | JPW-G Series
Made-in-Japan induction heating with a far-infrared, ceramic-coated 2mm pot.
The JPW-G pairs Tiger's high-heat IH with a three-layer, ceramic-coated inner pot of approx. 2mm. It has 16 menus, from Premium and Sushi to Cook•Soup and Cake, an English control panel, and comes in 1.0L (5.5-cup) and 1.8L (10-cup) sizes.
Ceramic-Coated Inner Pot
The far-infrared, three-layer inner pot (approx. 2mm) combines stainless steel with multi-layer aluminium, and is coated with ceramic materials to recreate the flavour of rice cooked in a traditional clay pot. The far-infrared coating spreads heat evenly to every grain.
High-Heat IH
Strong induction heating surrounds the whole inner pot, so each grain swells from the core and the rice's natural sweetness comes through.
Exp. Limited Cups — Small Portions, Fast
A dedicated menu for small amounts of white rice: 0.5–2 cups on the 1.0L model and 1–3 cups on the 1.8L model. On the 1.0L JPW-G10S, half a cup can be ready in as little as 20 minutes.
16 Cooking Menus
Plain, Premium, Eco, Sushi, Quick, Exp. Limited Cups, Long-grain, Multigrain, Mixed, Sweet, Porridge, Brown Porridge, Brown, Brown GABA, Cook•Soup and Cake — including a Mixed menu for Japanese-style rice cooked with ingredients.

Cook•Soup Menu
Set a cooking time of 5–180 minutes to simmer soups and stews slowly in the inner pot.
Cake Menu
Bake a cake in the inner pot, with a cooking time you can set between 5 and 80 minutes.
