Tiger 3-Cup Rice Cooker & Warmer, Floral White - JNP-0550-FL

The Tiger JNP-0550-FL is a compact conventional electric rice cooker and warmer with a 3-cup uncooked-rice capacity (0.54 L). Its simple one-switch operation cooks white rice and automatically transitions to keep-warm mode when cooking is complete, holding rice warm for up to 12 hours.

Designed for straightforward small-batch rice cooking, the JNP-0550 uses a fluorine-coated aluminum inner pot for easier rice release and cleanup. A retractable power cord simplifies countertop storage, while the removable inner lid and steam components can be detached for cleaning. The long-running JNP series is manufactured in Japan and the FL version carries Tiger's classic floral pattern.

Tiger’s JNP0550-FL suits cooks who want a conventional rice cooker and automatic warmer instead of programmable Micom menus. Its model-specific uncooked-rice capacity should be measured with the supplied rice cup; it is not a cooked-serving count. The cooking switch and indicator lights keep everyday operation direct.

The Tiger JNP-0550, listed here as JNP0550-FL, is a Japanese-made conventional rice cooker and warmer in Lovely Flower (FL), also described as Floral White. It cooks 1–3 supplied cups of uncooked white rice, or 0.18–0.54 liters. The included measure holds approximately 0.18 liter; this capacity is not a cooked serving count.

A single front switch starts the heating-plate cooking cycle. The cooker automatically changes to Keep Warm when the switch releases. Leave the lid closed for the final steaming step before opening, fluffing and serving the rice. Separate cooking and holding indicator lights show the operating state.

Keep Warm is limited to 12 hours for white rice, including rinse-free white rice. Keep the lid latched, remove grains from the pot rim and serve small quantities promptly. Do not use holding to heat cold rice, mix cold rice into the pot or leave the spatula inside.

The JNP-0550 uses an aluminum inner pot with fluorocarbon-resin nonstick coating. Wash rice in a separate bowl before transferring it to the pot and matching water scale. The inner lid, steam vent and dew collector remove for care. Clean every part by hand after use; do not put the pot or other parts in a dishwasher or dryer.

The current floral JNP manufacturer page lists an approximate footprint of 9.1 inches wide by 8.7 inches deep and a closed-lid height of 8.8 inches. This model is rated at 305W on 120V / 60Hz. Use an outlet rated at least 15A without other devices connected at the same time, and leave at least 30 centimeters from walls and furniture.

The retractable cord and carrying handle help with storage and moving the cooled cooker. A rice measure, spatula and holder are identified in the manufacturer documentation. The warming circuit operates whenever the unit is plugged in without cooking selected, so unplug it when not in use. Tiger specifies household use.
