Tiger JKT-D10U Induction Heating Rice Cooker: What to Know
Tiger's own JKT-D10U/18U product page lists a 1-liter (34oz) capacity -- the 5.5-cup figure -- running on 1,080 watts at 120V/60Hz, with a 3-layer ceramic-powder-coated inner pot designed to work with the induction heating system. Induction heating passes alternating current through the pot itself instead of relying on a plate underneath it, which Tiger frames as more even heat across the cooking surface.
The unit measures about 10.2 x 13.9 x 8.4 inches and weighs 8.6 lbs per Tiger's spec sheet, with 12 automated cooking menu settings covering plain rice, quick cook, brown rice, slow cooking, porridge, multi-grain, cake, a premium setting, an express mode for small batches, GABA brown rice, long-grain rice, and a mixed/sweet setting. Keep-warm is rated up to 24 hours, longer than the keep-warm claims we could confirm for the other four cookers in this guide. The box includes a spatula, ladle, and rice measuring cup -- a shorter accessory list than Zojirushi's, which also throws in a rinse-free cup.
Because Tiger sells this same body style as both the JKT-D10U (5.5-cup) and JKT-D18U (10-cup), and both show up in Amazon search results for similar queries, it's worth double-checking the capacity on whichever listing you're viewing before buying.
