Product Overview

Tiger’s JBS-A microcomputer controlled compact rice cooker with 10 smart menu settings will bring precision and versatility to your kitchen. From perfectly steamed rice to hearty porridge, this multi-functional rice cooker makes great results effortless.

Programmed to “Cook Flavorful Rice” Developed Over 50 Years Ago

Using the thermal controlled technology developed over 50 years ago, Tiger has been making efforts to bring out the rich flavors of rice. The cooking program allows the rice cooker to control the heat, soaking time and steaming duration to cook delicious rice with the ideal finish.

Environmentally Friendly Ceramic Coated Inner Pan

The effortless non-stick performance meets an eco-friendly design. As an everyday essential, make your meal a safer experience with this thick far infrared inner pot that distributes the heat evenly to the rice.

A User-Friendly Interface

The simple, easy-to-read LCD display allows you to read the cooking menus, timers and status at a glance for a stress-free daily use.

A Practical Handle with a Detachable Power Cord for Convenient Portability

The handle and easily detachable power cord is designed to conveniently carry the rice cooker around your kitchen to your dining area, and into your dorm room.

Menu Settings

Perfect for People Who Want to Cook Various Dishes with One Machine This JBS-A includes 10 intelligent cooking presets that automatically adjusts temperatures and timing to deliver the ideal texture, flavor and consistency of the rice, along with other flavorful dishes.

10 Computerized Cooking Menu Settings

• White • Quick • Mixed • Brown • Slow Cook • Eco • Long-grain • Porridge • GABA • Cake

“Cake(Baking)” Setting

This fun-to-use setting allows you to easily bake a whole soft sponge cake, as well as French toast.

“Slow Cook” Setting

This setting maintains a consistent temperature for even cooking and slow-simmer meals, as an addition to your dinner table.

The JBS-A55UKY is a compact 3-cup Micom cooker for small household batches, rather than a commercial warmer. Its ceramic-coated inner pan and dedicated rice, Slow Cook and Cake programs let one countertop appliance handle distinct recipes while keeping their quantity limits separate.

The Tiger JBS-A55U, supplied here under the Black JBS-A55UKY SKU, is a compact Japanese-made Micom rice cooker and warmer with a ceramic-coated inner pot. White, Eco, Quick and Long-grain menus accept 0.5–3 supplied rice cups. Its nominal 0.54-liter rating uses the approximately 0.18-liter uncooked-rice measure and is not a serving count.

Ten menus cover everyday rice and more: White, Eco, Quick, Long-grain, Mixed, Porridge, Brown, GABA, Slow Cook and Cake. Mixed or sweet rice is limited to 0.5–2 supplied cups, as are plain Brown and GABA batches. Brown rice with added ingredients is limited to 0.5–1 cup; Firm Porridge allows 0.5–0.75 cup, reduced to 0.5 cup when ingredients are added.

The LCD shows the selected menu and timing information. Eligible rice menus can be set to finish 2–12 hours later in half-hour steps, with at least five hours allowed for GABA. Quick, Mixed, Slow Cook and Cake do not use the delayed timer. White-rice Keep Warm is limited to 12 hours and at least half a supplied cup; serve other rice preparations promptly.

Slow Cook runs from 1–120 minutes, with different minimum fill marks for short and longer programs. Cake runs from 5–80 minutes in five-minute steps. Both offer limited additional heating after the initial cycle. Follow the supplied recipe quantities and serving directions; the three-cup white-rice capacity is not a general food or batter limit.

The removable inner lid and ceramic-coated pot are designed for hand cleaning. Open the inner lid’s steam-cap unit to clean it, then close and lock it before reassembly. A free-standing spatula and measuring cup are included. The carrying handle and detachable approximately 0.90-meter power cord make storage and movement convenient once the cooker has cooled.

Rated at 360W on 120V / 60Hz, the cooker measures approximately 24.7 centimeters wide by 27.8 centimeters deep by 19.2 centimeters high. The lid needs approximately 38.5 centimeters of open height. Use a separate outlet rated at least 15A and keep at least 30 centimeters from walls and furniture. Tiger specifies household and similar applications; the exact manual and manufacturer warranty terms are linked below.
