Tiger Corporation JAZ-A18U Cooker

While optimized for white rice, the JAZ-A18U can handle other grains like brown rice or quinoa, though you may need to adjust water ratios. Because it is a straightforward, automatic cooker, it lacks the specialized settings found on high-end digital models, so you will need to monitor the cooking process for non-standard grains.

The automatic keep-warm function engages as soon as the cooking cycle finishes. It is designed to maintain a safe serving temperature for several hours, but for the best texture, we recommend serving the rice within a few hours to prevent it from drying out or developing a crust.

Yes, the included steam basket is designed to sit above the rice while it cooks. This allows you to steam vegetables or proteins simultaneously, making it a convenient way to prepare a complete, one-pot meal.

The 10-cup capacity refers to the amount of dry, uncooked rice the inner pot can hold. Once cooked, this will yield approximately 20 cups of finished rice, making it an ideal size for larger families or meal prepping.

The unit is designed for simplicity, featuring a removable inner pot that is easy to wash. While the pot is generally easy to clean, it is not dishwasher safe, so you should hand wash it with a soft sponge to preserve the non-stick coating.
