JBV-A SERIES

OH MY! I have never been a gifted person who could cook rice that would come out consistently good. Sometimes it would be great, but most of the time my rice was mushy or not cooked all the way! One of my Korean friends suggested--NO--she told me she would never make rice in anything other than a Tiger Rice Cooker! Best advice I have ever taken! This little unit makes cooking rice so easy and effortless. My rice is consistently good all the time. Well, when I first got it I used warm water to rinse the rice and to put in the cooking pot--Do Not Do that! That was the only time I made bad rice in this Tiger Rice Cooker. It came out mushy, like oatmeal. Yuck! There are a ton of videos on YouTube that will take you through the steps of cooking in this wonderful rice cooker, if you can't understand the directions. The controls are easy to use and the "Keep Warm" feature is a life saver! Do not fear using the "Keep Warm" feature, I have never burned my rice--ever! The only draw back, is not really knowing how long I have left on the cook time, as there is no timer visible just a ready button that lights up. That mainly comes from my family being impatient and ready for dinner. This is not a deal breaker, I just start the rice first and then cook dinner. The cooker itself is durable. The cooking pot is scratch resistant but have never--ever used a metal spoon or anything with it. Cleaning is super easy, wipe down with a damp cloth and put it away. Cooking rice has never been easier! The Tiger Rice Cooker is so easy and flawless to use, my 26 year old single son asked for one so that he can cook his own rice at home! Best kitchen appliance purchase ever!

Works great and so easy to use.

Fantastic rice cooker! The first cook had a burnt plastic smell, but was just fine after that initial cook. This is not as small of a rice cooker as others might lead you to suspect. It is easily large enough to feed a family of four (and some guests too!). It is super easy to use and is able to adjust itself based on the weight of the components within. While it tells you not to do a half cup of dry rice (a single portion) it cooks it perfectly well in about 15 mins. For four people, it cooks in about 25-30 mins. Highly recommend. Fantastic Japanese brand that knows what it’s doing.

I spent. Little more for a rice cooker and trusted this brand to make a quality product no issues, easy clean easy to use and really like warming function

I've been using the TIGER JBV-A10U 5.5-Cup (Uncooked) Micom Rice Cooker with Food Steamer Basket for almost 3 years now, and it has been an excellent addition to my kitchen. One of the standout features is the Syncro-cooking function with the "tacook" cooking plate. This innovative design allows me to cook rice and a main dish simultaneously without the flavors mixing, which is incredibly convenient for preparing balanced meals quickly. The rice cooker offers four versatile cooking menu settings: Synchro-Cooking, Plain Rice, Brown Rice, and Slow Cook/Steam. Each setting is straightforward to use and delivers perfect results every time. Whether I’m making fluffy white rice, nutritious brown rice, or using the slow cook option for soups and stews, this appliance handles it all with ease. Cleaning up is a breeze thanks to the easy-to-clean non-stick coating on the inner pan. This feature significantly reduces the time and effort needed for maintenance, allowing me to enjoy my meals without worrying about a lengthy cleanup process afterward. Overall, the TIGER JBV-A10U is a reliable and efficient rice cooker that simplifies meal preparation and consistently produces high-quality results. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a versatile and user-friendly rice cooker.

If you work and hardly have time or just want to enjoy japanese rice. The tiger is authentic japanese rice cooker and it makes very good rice and automatically goes on to warm mode, after cooking the rice, and the warm mode stays for 24 hours if you are extremely busy. I use this to cook and make onigiri, my love for japanese food and cuisine is just above and beyond. I never had an authentic japanese rice cooker but when i made my research it kills zujirushi very fast and has more tech and ease of use. You can do smoke salmon and even other type of foods is just amazing what i love is that it saves you energy and money and time! Amazing for japanese curry, onigiri, sushi, sushi cone, cooking salmon, veggies, doing other types as well not just japanese rice but, as well for couscous and other grains which are very healthy for every day food. I love my rice cooker and it gives perfection and amazing taste to your food! Strongly recommend if you are an otaku or into japanese cuisine or trying to learn it more.

This does exactly what you expect and need from a rice cooker without all the bells and whistles of the more expensive models, making it super easy to use. It cooks rice perfectly every time, only takes about 20 minutes, and stays nice and warm without causing the rice on the bottom to become sticky. The steamer basket works great and really does keep the rice from tasting of the food you put in it. I've done onions, garlic, and peppers in it with the rice, and none of the flavors transferred which is great when you want to use the rice for more than one meal. The capacity is perfect, easily serving a family gathering while still allowing you to make a small enough portion for one without overwhelming you with leftovers. Its easy to clean with a solid non-stick interior. I haven't had it long enough to speak to its long term durability, but after the first month of regular use it still looks and functions like day 1. There are a couple of things that could be better with this unit, but nothing that bothers me at this price point. There is no sound or timer to indicate that cooking has completed or how long it has left, only a change in the indicator lights when it finishes cooking and when the keep warm function turns off. And the only other thing is that it is too light weight for the strength with which the top opens when you push the button, meaning if the cooker is nearing empty the machine rocks back when you open it. I just remember to catch it before the lid opens completely to kill the momentum when I know its going to rock.

So this is a quality rice cooker from one of the top rice cooker brands. I did a lot of research on what rice cooker to buy and I'd say this is the best rice cooker for the price. I love that it's basic; no extra screens, settings, etc to fuss with or to break. It's super easy to use and then clean afterwards. One thing I also looked into before buying this is the feasibility to order replacement parts if and when something wears out say the cooker's pot. Not a problem, Tiger has a parts store online that you can order replacement parts as needed. The only thing I was surprised was that this cooker was made in China. I thought it would have been made in Japan. Nonetheless, it seems to till be the Tiger quality even with the outsourcing.
