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

I had to replace two rice cookers and this one works the best. I had to get rid of my aroma brand because it couldn't keep rice till the next day due to it drying and an electronic Panisonic version that pooled water in the middle of the rice making soggy. I'm happy this just cooks the rice and keeps it warm. It doesn't have a lot of the fancier features like slow cook.quick cook or whatever but it just works. Tiger is a reliable brand and I wish I found it first.

It’s my second Tiger rice cooker. The first one also holds the same amount of rice. This one is wider, but shorter. The rice cooker is made of a thinner material. It may be scratch resistant, because the first one has a gray coating. This one is just one layer of metal. It’s lighter and the functions are the same. One button to depress and two lights: cooking and warming. I love easy-to-use electronic devices. The rice comes out well cooked. It also comes with a rice spatula, a hook for the spatula with a special spot to hang from rice cooker, a clear drainage that can easily slide out like a mini drawer for rinsing, and a plastic steamer tray that rests on top of rice cooker under the lid. I love, love, love this brand. One thing about the mini drip drawer is that, my mom broke it because she may have pressed too hard to fit it back in the wrong way.

Best rice cooker, definitely recommend.

I bought a used 5.5 cup model for CAD$52.51. Box was pretty smashed as per the "damaged" description, I also expected "Large cosmetic imperfection(s)" on multiple sides, but it seems immaculate to me, which was a pleasant surprise. Compared to my previous cheap glass cover rice cooker, it cooks rice very evenly, looks nicer, doesn't sputter, and is very efficient retaining heat (it seems thickly insulated). No special functions, simple single switch, deceptively lightweight, non-stick, looks nice, the retractable power cord is also great for quick storage. It came with a 180ml measuring cup and plastic paddle. The plastic rice paddle is smooth which makes it easier to clean than a textured one. Unfortunately, it did not come with the inner steam basket from the description, maybe because I bought it used. And despite having a lower capacity of 5.5 cups, it is big and pretty comparable to a cheap 10 cup rice cooker.

I had a previous rice cooker from Panasonic like this one that finally shot craps after 17 years. In my search to replace it, I found that Tiger was a brand many of my Hawaii people recommended. Only dislike with this is bottom of rice at times is brown and hard. I’ve added extra water to try and compensate for this. I needed to contact supplier for the spoon holder that was not included as listed and they responded very quickly with shipping the part. Otherwise, the part would have cost $3, not including shipping and taxes. Still out on whether I truly am satisfied at this time.
