High heat for sweetness. Bubbles for fluffiness and springiness. The “ご泡火炊き Series” Rice Cookers to be released in sequence from June 21, 2023

Tiger Corporation (President: Yoshisato Kikuchi, Headquarters: Kadoma City, Osaka), a world leader in thermal control technology, will release the ご泡火炊き series rice cookers from June 21, 2023. The ご泡火炊き series of rice cookers are a result of our efforts to achieve ideal cooking techniques. They can bring out the strong sweetness and flavors of the rice with the high heat produced in the ceramic inner pots and protect the fluffiness and springiness of the rice with fine bubbles that can be produced only in a ceramic inner pot. The cooking techniques that fully focus on the good flavors of cooked rice are adopted only for high-class products among all Tiger rice cookers, including our flagship models.

The ご泡火炊き series to be released in 2023 include an attractive lineup of the 土鍋ご泡火炊き JRX-T060/T100 to be launched on July 21 and the 土鍋ご泡火炊き JPL-H100 and ご泡火炊き JPI-X100/X180 to be launched on June 21.

Having the 300℃ W-layer IH*1 structure (or “double-layer,” as “W” can mean “double” in Japanese), the new flagship model rice cooker JRX-T060/T100 has successfully achieved a cooking temperature up to approx. 300℃*2, the highest temperature in the history of Tiger Corporation. The rice cooker cooks rice with intense heat convection resulting from a heat temperature difference that is caused as if the ceramic inner pot was heated over an open fire, so that the strong sweetness of the rice can be brought out in the process of cooking with continuously high heat. In addition, the rice cooker is equipped with enhanced functionality such as rice-brand-specific innovative cooking for 70 brands of rice, producing-region-specific cooking, and a feature that allows you to change the rice cooking timer setting using the dedicated app. The premium model JPL-H100 allows you to enjoy the good flavors of rice just like rice cooked in a clay pot. The model adopts a nonstop heating mechanism that enables air to be drawn into the lid with our proprietary Spring & Shine Pump. In this way, the ideal level of heat, which was previously sacrificed to prevent the rice from boiling over, can be produced to cook delicious rice as if was cooked over an open fire. For the entry model JPI-X100/X180 of the ご泡火炊き series, ceramic coating powder is sprayed evenly on the outside of the inner pot so that the flavors of the rice cooked even in the metal inner pot can be enriched as if the rice was cooked in a clay pot. In this way, heat as high as that possible in a clay pot can be produced to bring out the sweetness of the rice. The rice cooker is also equipped with TSUBUDACHI keep-warm program to keep the rice as delicious as freshly cooked rice.

At Tiger Corporation, we have thermal control technology that we have been cultivating for years and this series evolves from the ideal cooking technique only possible in a ceramic inner pot. With them, we will contribute to delivering to households the good flavors of rice just like that cooked in a clay pot in order to spread joyous harmony throughout the world.

100th Anniversary Model 土鍋ご泡火炊き JRX-T060/T100

Having the 300℃ W-layer IH*1 structure (or “double-layer,” as “W” can mean “double” in Japanese), the new flagship model JRX-T060/T100 has successfully achieved a cooking temperature up to approx. 300℃*2, the highest temperature in the history of Tiger Corporation. The heat-storage performance of a clay pot made of natural materials is high and this means a temperature can be applied that is much higher than that possible with a metal pot. Thanks to its 300℃ W-layer IH structure, the rice cooker cooks rice with intense heat convection resulting from a heat temperature difference that is caused as if the ceramic inner pot was heated over an open fire, so that the strong sweetness of the rice can be brought out in the process of cooking with continuously high heat. Fine bubbles that can be produced only in a ceramic inner pot prevent the rice grains from being damaged to protect the fluffiness and springiness of the rice.

What’s more, the rice cooker is provided with different cooking functions that have been evolving for an even better cooking experience. These functions include Rice Brand-Specific Innovative Cooking for 70 brands of rice, Producing Region-Specific Cooking to cook Koshihikari rice differently by producing region, the Rice Brand-Specific Cooking Programs feature that allows you to download a rice cooking program best suited for the rice using a dedicated app, and New Rice Homare-daki to cook new rice with the cooking method best suited for new rice. A new feature added allows you to remotely change the rice cooking timer setting using the dedicated app when you are away from home. Connecting to the IoT functionality makes your rice-cooking experience more convenient and enjoyable. These new flagship models are packed with 100 years of Tiger Corporation’s technologies.

The premium model JPL-H100 allows you to enjoy the good flavors of rice just like that cooked in a clay pot. The model adopts the nonstop heating mechanism that allows air to be drawn into the lid with our proprietary Spring & Shine Pump. In this way, the ideal level of heat, which was previously sacrificed to prevent the rice from boiling over, can be produced to cook delicious rice as if was cooked over a wood-fired clay oven. This model can keep the temperature inside the inner pot at approx. 106℃ (at approx. 1.20 atm) for a period approx. 1.6 times longer than a conventional Tiger product*4. The rice cooker cooks rice with Tiger’s ideal high heat to accelerate the gelatinization of rice. Like cooking in an oven, keeping heating without worrying about boiling over allows more of the flavor and sweetness of rice to be brought out. The model is also equipped with the Small Amount Cooking setting to cook fragrant rice even in small amounts and three different cooking functions that allow you to select the consistency and texture of the cooked rice from three levels depending on the purpose of use. The model allows you to enjoy the deep flavors of rice cooked in the ceramic inner pot from various angles.

*4 The pressurization time of JPL-H100 is approx. 10.5 min. and that of the conventional Tiger product, JPL-G100 (made in 2021) is approx. 6.5 min.

The entry model JPI-X100/X180 of the ご泡火炊き series adopts the far-infrared, oven-effect, ceramic-coated, nine-layer inner pot. The oven-effect coating and heat-sealing ceramic coating applied to the outside of the inner pot and the far-infrared ceramic coating applied to the inside of the pot help deepen the flavors of the rice cooked even in the metal inner pot as if the rice was cooked in a clay pot. Compared with a conventional Tiger product, the far-infrared radiation effect of this series has been enhanced by about 1.0%*5 because of an increase in the amount of the ceramic coating powder used in the outer coating of the inner pot and an improved way of spraying the coating so that the coating can be applied evenly to the outer surface of the inner pot. The far-infrared radiation effect helps trap the sweetness of the rice and cook fluffy rice. With a focus on making cooking delicious rice convenient, the rice cooker is equipped with the TSUBUDACHI keep-warm program to keep the warmed rice delicious, the Frozen Rice setting to prevent defrosted cooked rice from being pasty, and the Small Amount and Quick setting to cook a bowl of rice (0.5 go) in a minimum of about 15 minutes and 1 go in about 17 minutes*6.

*5 Based on a comparison of the inner pots between JPI-Y100 and the conventional Tiger product JPI-T100 (made in 2022). This is a comparison of integrated emissivity between models when the temperatures of the inside bottoms of the pots are 160℃ (assuming actual temperatures while cooking rice). JPI-X100: 83.56%, JPI-S100: 82.50% (based on our research)

*6 Only rice cookers with a capacity of 5.5 go can be used to cook 0.5 go of rice. *Rice cookers with a capacity of 1 sho can be used to cook at least 1 go of rice and it takes about 17 minutes to cook 1 go of rice. The time required for cooking may vary depending on the type of rice and room and water temperatures (based on our research).
