Tiger IH Pressure Rice Cooker - 10 Cups (JPK-G18A)
Tiger IH Pressure Rice Cooker - 10 Cups (JPK-G18A)
The JPK-G18A is the large-capacity version of Tiger's flagship rice cooker in Australia, combining induction heating with true pressure cooking. Pressure lifts the boiling temperature above 100°C, drawing out noticeably more sweetness and softness from the rice. In our experience its pressure gasket rarely needs replacing, a routine maintenance cost on many pressure cookers. It cooks from 2 cups up to 10 cups of white rice.
The 20-menu spread is unusually deep: beyond rice, congee and soup, it ferments and bakes bread, and bakes cakes — few rice cookers offer anything close. Pressure cookers are normally tedious to clean, so the one-press steam self-clean cycle matters. Also available in a 5.5-cup size (JPK-G10A).

A Note on Pressure Cooking
Because this cooker operates under pressure, the lid locks during cooking — you cannot open it mid-cycle to stir or add ingredients. Steam also releases under pressure: keep hands and face clear of the steam vent, and follow the user guide when opening the lid after cooking.
Care Instructions
- Unusually for a pressure cooker, the inner pot, steam cap, and inner lid are all dishwasher safe. For best longevity, hand wash the inner pot with a soft sponge.
- Wipe the exterior of the cooker body with a damp cloth. Do not submerge.
