Tiger Stainless Steel Electric Rice Warmer (40 Cups)

The JHC-72UA is an electric rice warmer for rice that has already been cooked. It does not replace a rice cooker: its holding capacity, electrical demand and operating routine describe maintaining a hot batch for service, rather than turning uncooked grain into rice.

The Tiger JHC-72UA is a dedicated electric rice warmer for restaurant service, in the manufacturer’s Stainless Black finish. Tiger lists a nominal capacity of 7.2 liters / 40 cups. It holds rice that has already been cooked; it does not cook raw rice.

Preheat the warmer for 30 minutes before loading freshly cooked plain white rice into the inner pan. Close the lid firmly and keep each opening short during service. The manual limits holding to within 12 hours and directs users to serve small remaining quantities promptly.

The removable nonstick inner pan has handles for lifting, while the removable inner lid has a rubber lining. A hook-button latch secures the hinged outer lid, and a power switch and lamp provide straightforward control. A scoop / spatula is included; remove it from the pan during holding.

This model is listed at 15.5 inches wide, 19 inches deep and 13.5 inches high. Plan its position around the listed footprint and leave room to operate the lid.

The listed electrical rating is 120 volts / 45 watts. Match the appliance nameplate when planning its connection. This is a warming-only appliance, so its electrical listing should not be compared with a rice cooker’s cooking power as though they perform the same job.
