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 what an ordinary cooker can reach, and that extra heat draws out noticeably more sweetness and softness from the rice — if you know you want pressure, this is what it delivers. In our experience its pressure gasket rarely needs replacing, a routine maintenance cost on many pressure cookers. It cooks portions as small as a single cup — rare flexibility in a 10-cup cooker.
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 the most tedious to clean, so the built-in steam self-clean cycle matters: one press, and it steams the pot and parts clean to prevent odours. 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.
