Tiger 10-Cup Induction Rice Cooker

Let me first say why I chose this one over the baby Elephant brand that plays musical tunes when you use it. I actually ordered one of those first, the latest (black square one). And I was not impressed with the soft coating on the cooking pot. I gouged it with my fingernail just taking it out of the box. There is no way I was going to trust that to last over time. So I started looking for cookers with a ceramic hard coated cooking pot and ran across this one. I like the size of the cooker, the big orange display, it has plenty of cooking modes. I was most interested in Gabba brown and Quinoa which it does not have a setting for. I heard plain white should work just fine. I like that you can slow cook with it, and the Cake function, I may try out of curiosity to see how it works. When you start the cooking timer the fan starts immediately. It’s not noisy but it does not seem to be sensor controlled. (Update, depending on the program the fan will speed up and slow down. So it is sensor controlled). Everything is easy to clean and take apart. My first batch of rice was 2 cups of Jasmine. I used the long grain setting and it was done in about 25 minutes. Much quicker than I expected, and it turned out great. Better than any stove top rice I have ever made. Nothing stuck together and it broke apart easily when stirred. I used to have a cheap Aroma cooker that would always burn the bottom of the rice. To say that this is an upgrade is a major understatement. A few things to note, the top lid plate is Teflon coated, which I wish it was stainless. However there is another model in the same family that has a non coated lid. I ordered one for the model JKT-B10U hoping that they are interchangeable. Once that comes in I will update my review with my findings. Also this model does not come with a steam tray, which I find odd. I think it should have come with one. Overall I am very satisfied with my purchase and look forward to trying all of its features for many years to come. And the timer function is awesome. Update: The JKT-B10U top plate is 100% comparable. I still wish there was a stainless steel option. But you can at least “pick your poison”. Teflon or untreated aluminum.
